I have a Cocker Spaniel - Poppy
We've got a beautiful Golden Retriever called Scuba. We had him as a 1 yr old so he was already named. It was only when we took him out we realised where he got his name from. As soon as he sees water he's straight in no matter how smelly or dirty !
Nostromo, into the corner[msnmad]!
We have 2 old english sheepdogs, Lottie (7) and Millie (3) and the ruler of the pack, a little black cat called Max who is 13. He and Lottie hate each other, and he and Millie just adore each other, although he is not above biffing her about the face when the grooms him rather too enthusiastically.

A great 3 Yr old Dalmatian called Lucky !!
Mark
We had 3 cats, Inki, Pinki, and Dinki, as you can guess, pinki was white with pink ears, and dinki was a tiny tabby, and Inki a black cat, unfortuneately both Pinks, and Dinks, succombed to tunours in there mouth, and we had to have them put down, within one month of each other, I am devestated, as they where both rescued by me, and where my little mates, they were a good age of 19 and 18, Inki is Joyes cat, that came with her when ewe married.
After coming back from Florida this year, it really hit me, not having a cat to come home to, straight down the local CPL branch, and we now have a lovely snowy white 2 year old, who was abandoned with her kittens, and her name is Lilli
Nostromo my answer was a joke too!! I can hardly put you in a corner can I?[msnwink] However, if my husband said that about me he wouldn't live to see another day[}:)].

A cat called Charli (female) who is the biggest b***** going. All this week I have been woken up by the sound of her "growling". Turn on the light (in the middle of the night) and there is a half eaten mouse/or a live one.
She is so aloof it is unbelievable! However, she is loyal to me and pretends she is a dog - follows me everywhere.
She is also nicknamed "Bucket" as in Charli (e) Bucket from Charlie and the chocolate factory. Don't ask me why it just came out one day and it has now stuck, in fact all the neighbours call her bucket!

chrizzy, thanks for sharing this with us!! lovely dogs, i had a german shepherd Jukie, many years ago along with another old mongrel Buster, they were horrors, i came into my kitchen one morning (i was 5 days overdue with baby number 5) and found 8 lots of dogs mess all over my floor, and endless puddles of pee!!!!!! i ended up giving the german shepherd to alsation rescue in climping in arundel, they home them with families on a waiting list after being vetted!! and i think people pay fees for this, he went to a good home and am sure he wouldve had a great life, he had a fantastic personality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i to chose not to hear reports, but to make a clean break!!!
never again, how i regretted that...............hormones!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that was 21 years ago, and Buster lived till he was 14 and a half, i had to have him put to sleep 7 years ago, 27th dec, on xmas eve he couldnt walk, just laid and weed, couldnt get up, it was so sad, he paced the floor all day xmas day and boxing day, then we spoke to the vet again, and they said they thought it was time for him to go........ absolutely broke my heart!!!
We have always had border collies since we have been married.
We now have Tess, another border collie. She is scared stiff of fireworks, thunder and any large bangs but is a great working dog, very faithful and adores the grandchildren.
Mike and Kath
One cat called scrunch she is a lady of leisure, one rabbit Opy who has the run of the garden 24/7 protected by our cat and the two next door who all share the same hutch in the night, rabbit and cat come in together in the morning for food, and usually stay until tea time before going back out. Oh I forgot, One husband who is house trained and is well behaved who is called Phil.:D:D

We have three cats. Pebbles who is black and white she is 11 years old.She has degenerative liver complaint so we don't know how much longer she has. She is not in pain tho. Bruno is brown fat tabby who is 10 and is completely mad. He likes to sleep on my head at night if he has his own way. And lastly there is Woody (after toy story)he arrived as a stray when he was 10 weeks old. He climbed up Petes leg in the drive cried pitifully and has never left. That was just under 3 years ago. I think he walked up and down the road and worked out who the suckers were. He looks exactly like puss in boots in Shrek 2.[:o)]
We have had all kinds over the years but at the moment there is-
Bosun- 3 year old golden lab who we love too bits
cookie- dutch rabbit
lulu and biscuit- hamsters
and a goldfish.
Our numbers are very much down on our BC (before children) days :( We now have 2 mini wire daxis Humphrey and William (we used to have 5 dogs), 6 cats Stanley, Teddy, Mabel, Donald, Freddie and Lewie (we had 11 at one time[:I]) and 4 tortoises Mickey, Minnie, Lilo and Stitch :D We also have a tank of marine fish and a tank of tropical fish:)

We have six cats [msnoo] yes six!!!!
Tabitha(13) who rules the roost and has got to be the laziest animal ever, my other half calls her lardy a**e, then Lucy, Maple, Chivers, Mickey and bilbo baggins.
Mickey did have a sister Minnie until she was killed outside our house a few weeks ago, it broke my heart and the hardest thing was trying to be strong for my children, I just wanted to bawl like a baby, I sympathise with all owners who have ever lost a pet, we just don't realise how much they take over our lives do we?
We have a westie.... ( I really wanted a mini english bull terrier - but compromised!![msnwink]) However we love Oscar just as much... Our son grew up thinking the breed was called West highland white terrors (as opposed to terriers) - he did get upto mischief as a pup- eating a variety of stuff including pencils- chair legs! an LP, tinsel (for which he had an op at 6 months old in order to remove it!!!!)
this is our dog a weimaraner indie:)
http://www.orlando-guide.info/forums/Data/shenon/20041124112514_picindie.JPG
Ooh Shenon, we used to have a Weimaraner about 18 years ago, but when my son was born we sent him to live on a farm in Wooler, 3 kids, couldn't cope, hubby worked away. As it turned out it was a good move as my son, as I said earlier, is allergic to dogs and is asthmatic, so keeping the dog could have been deadly for him. They are such handsome dogs aren't they? But absolutely crackers[msntongue]. We named ours Baron, because he looked so noble.

Mini Lop Bunny called "Starsky in Hutch" and a ginger tom cat called Jerry Lee Lewis!!
They are actually quite difficult to keep Chrizzy although when I see tanks in the US they always look good. I suspect that setups and fish are cheaper to buy in the US. Ours cost us a lot of money[:I]It has every gadget and gismo attached to it but you still have to monitor it closely. Great to watch though.

Great pictures Ruth.....they are very cheap here.....I remember paying nearly 4 pounds for a small tropical fish last time I had tanks in England years ago....here they are around 98 cents....
We keep fighting fish in just bowls...in England we would use heaters etc.....
I really think I will give it a go.......I'm trying to find a place to have a tank made.....more than buy one at a pet shop....and then take my time setting it up.....
We have two dogs. They are cross Yorkie/Cairn Terriers and their names are Winston and Churchill.

We have two rabbits, named Sabrina (for the witch) and Marshmallow, a Siamese cat named Snickers, because his colors are the same as a Snickers bar, a Persian called Dusty, because when he was a kitten he looked like a dustbunny that you would sweep out from under the bed, and then there's our puppy, Shannon. She is a Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie), although she thinks she's a cat, much to my husband's dismay.
We have two Ragdoll cats, both of them beautiful, Bailey is the female and is a Seal Colourpoint and Jack Daniels the male, he is a Seal Bicolour. They are like puppies and follow you wherever you go in the house. We absoloutely love them to bits.

Two cats called Cosmo and Kizmet. Two rabbits called Fluffy and Furry (my 6 year old daughter's) and two goldfish. Going on holiday is a problem for our parents. The dogs go to my mother-in-law's, who also comes round every day to feed the cats and fish. The rabbits are off to my Mum's. I think they all dread it when I tell them we are going away.

Hi All,
We have five cats Big Max gray and white and leader of the pack but really a great big softy ,Chilli black and white female very loving ,Chloe torty female nickname 5 belly's,Simba ginger tom and very skitty and the last is Jackson black male trying to take over a leader of the pack but is the youngest.
Hi All
Our first pet was a golden retriever cross with a yellow lab and his name was Simon. We had him just 3 weeks before we got married, not best timing but as he was a result of two farm dogs getting together the farmer just wanted rid. However, whilst we were on our honeymoon, Simon was entrusted into the care of a family friend who used to train guide dogs. Perfect, we came home from our honeymoon to one fully house trained puppy without any of the mess. His one majoy indiscretion that I can recall was that he managed to eat a set of honeymoon pictures that arrived back by post and SImon got to them before we did.
Several years later, whilst we still had Simon, I wanted another puppy. So we then had Oscar a pure bred retriever. Sadly for Oscar, and us, he was diagnosed during his first year with Epilepsy. Our vet, had it pretty well controlled for several years but sadly at the age of 5, Oscar had to be put down.
Simon, lived to be 12.
We then had many years without a dog. Until 7 years ago, those old feelings of "Oh wouldn't it be lovely ........" And Monty a Golden retirever came into our lives. As scatty adn puppyish today as hew as 7 years ago. Still wouldn't be without him though.
Jane
We have a dog called tysonand when we were packing our cases in the lounge he kept coming and taking things out again,i think he knew it was time for the kennels,and after we picked him up he was really weird he kept howling in the car,a bit embarrassing when we had to stop .[msnembarrased]
This is HOLLY our six year old "beardie cross" who was rescued by the RSPCA form an uncaring owner who kept her chained up outside in all weathers. She's put on quite a bit of weight in the past couple of years as she gets spoiled rotten here.
