animals and pets

The ultimate thread necro.

Dear me, no. The oldest I've seen is one from 2007...

Note: please ensure your images are no larger than 800x600 before posting.
The WP forum software doesn't make a very good job of resizing anything larger and images are often stretched horribly.




I thought I'd posted this here; evidently not.
My sister's Boxers, when they were puppies: Sophie on the left and Bella on the right.

...Wow.
Sorry I posted a really large image. I'll resize them next time.

The angelfish? I already resized it manually...

Thanks!

About time there was a sticky or forum for pets. Most of us who find human action and contact a challenge have our pets to thank for keeping us somewhat sane.


I have 2 boys and one girl. I'd love to get a dog but money is tight right now. Anyway here they are:



This is Calypso. Here's a before and after shot from when she was hanging around my yard starving and without a home to a queen living happily ever after.


Before:




After:






And this is Bob. Bob I also found wandering in my yard for days however he didn't look as bad as Calypso. His favorite spot is the kitchen sink.












Bill who is an American ringtail I saved from the shelter. He looked like he was going to die and I was hesitant to get him at first due to his state of health. He was very scrawny and sick with a cold. Normally I would've gotten a kitten but after what they said about him and his age, people not likely to adopt adult cats, I asked if I could hold him and I knew immediately had to have him. Since then his health and condition is too good. I wish I had a before and after shot because I think his condition was much worse than Calypso's. In fact I was prepared after taking him to the vet to have them checked that he would be diagnosed with Feline Leukemia or something fatal. But as it turns out, he was completely healthy but malnourished. Now he eats like a little pig and is an alpha like Calypso which I guess makes him king.

Haha he's adorable! Benny the Ball! Great name.

Dear MissConstrue, I admire you so much for finding room in your heart for those poor cats!

Dear I-wanna-blue, I didn't know rabbits had blue eyes!

^Thank you Sylkat. It was very hard at first just with adopting one cat with what little I had but then 2 and 3, I managed pretty well cost wise.

ha, well i can't take the credit for coming up with that name. it's a name of a cat from the cartoon "Top Cat". he just reminded me of him, i suppose.



someone else i showed the pic to, also said the same. i suppose it's something quite rare.

The cat, Dickson (named after a character from the game Xenoblade):



The dog, Bidu (named for the dog in Monica's Gang; pronunciation: Bee-Doo):



Both of them (although Bidu is hidden in the shadows):

^They're both adorable. Love the ginger markings on Dickson!

Aww. I was also wanting to recommend a pets and animals forum, sad that it won't be an option. Between the special interest aspect, the service animal aspect, and the general focus on pets with autism, it feels like it'd be really good if it can be formed at some point.

However, at least lots of cute pictures! To add to them.

Here's Ada. She's my ESA cat that I got December 31st. She's a year old. She's named after Ada Lovelace.



The other good picture of her I have is




I had lots of pets growing up. This one is Churchill, he unfortunately died a few years ago (he was put down when he stopped having quality of life). He was the one which was most my cat. In this picture he was in my room during junior year of high school.

I got to spend time with Chico this weekend. It was nice.
