OUr pets names..
At the moment we only have dogs, you wouldn't be interested in the coon dogs, dh named them Bob & John..lol..
we have an australian named Rex
dh also named this other dog Zip (because he runs fast)
We have had in the past, horses, other dogs, cats & a rabbit in the house
Rowdy, Dusty (was a dog & a pony), Sadie, Smokey, Bandit, Laddie, Freckles, Gus, Sheba, Spek, Skippy(rabbit), Bo, too many others to think...Fluffy, Josie (cats)
some others I like Amos for a dog, a friend had a blue heeler named amos
but I agree with the other post about seeing the animal FIRST.. then go from there, I have to look at a dog or any other animal before naming them..
Haha! Mine spells their names wrong - and they have very common names! (nm)

Pets
Hi,
I'm so sorry to year about your dogs's reactions to Frontline. I'm in Atlanta and we have flea problems almost as badly as you do in Florida. I hate these flea medications. I have used Advantage but am considering a holistic product called FleaFree. I have a friend who uses it and loves it. It's put in the dog's water or food I believe which is better than smelling it on their fur!
U obviously don't have any pets......

I have pets but
at Christmas when I have the dinner party this year, I will have to let my cats play in the garage that day. There are people in my husband's family who are terrified of cats and knowing this, I try to make arrangements when they come to make sure my house is clear. I am always recognizing not everyone loves my kids like I do. Sometimes it is not do they like/love, it is really a true fear sometime. I knew of a girl and her mother (African American) who on seeing a cat on their front porch 1 day did not leave out of the house to either go to work or for the child to go to school. I personally knew about this. It can be a real fear for some.
I'm sorry. It is so sad when our pets go.

what they say about pets
You never, ever know. My soulmate kitty, Quinn, died last year at 23-1/4 (yes, years). A very good vet said he had kidney disease and wouldn't make it to 2 years. So I got serious about fresh homemade food right then and he had the longest, completely healthy life of any cat I know. Check out home feline diets. Cheaper than the very best commercial. You know they're worth it!

Looking for ~K~ names...
Hi everyone! I am looking for a name that begins with K...Do you any of you have the perfect ~K~ name for the perfect baby girl coming to our family? Thank you all for your suggestions!!!
K names
Kara, Karaleigh, Karissa, Kaela (derivative of Kayla), Korrie...all my granddaughters
Pet's names
Siberian Husky is Spunky; Blue heeler is Blue; Cats-Kitty, Sweetie, Ginger, Turtle, Killer, Twinkie; goats-LuLu, Bonnie, Clyde, Blackie. Rest of the goats have no names and neither do the 30-somwthing chickens! BTW, kids named several of these!
You do not have to name names, you
gave the state and all a person had to do was Google about student murdered in the state and the name is there.
well, I don't like it. Names are
hurtful and unnecessary. Does he not realize he is the measure for this child as he grows up? and that everything he will learn about being a good father himself he will have learned from his own. While he needs to mind, he does not need to be made inferior doing it.
Why would you consider the names
more different??? Everything has a name.
Names for a dog...sm
My husband and I are going to be getting a new puppy within the next couple of months. I don't know if it is going to be male or a female, but we were just having a discussion about what we should end up calling him/her. We are looking for somthing origional (no "spot" or "fido" or anything like that lol). Something funny maybe, but nothing we would be embarassed to call him/her in public.
What are some of your guys' favorite "pets" names?
Thanks!!!

Dog names
Well, we named Bumper said name because as a puppy, he was clumsy and bumped into everything.
We loved him so dearly that 20 months later, Maggie came along (her AKC papers read Bumper's Princess Magdeline). We actually named her after Maggie from The Simpsons, who is such a sweet and innocent child. Now, Hubby wanted to put "Bumper's Lady Margaret" on her AKC papers but I told him I have an aunt named Margaret that I don't like, so it became Bumper's Princess (that, she is) Magdeline. Plus, I liked the biblical reference.
Toby, our rescue, was already named. I guess his original name was Oliver (how cute!!!!) but his first owners changed it to Toby. Then, when he was around 3, the mother got pregnant and decided she didn't have enough time for him. Don't get me started on folks like that. Dogs are a lifetime commitment (unless there are aggression issues, etc.).
Now, we have so many nicknames for each dog, it's not funny. If you want to hear them, I'll post them when I have time. Somehow, Bumper ended up being called Beef but I don't remember why.
Also, we've tried to breed Bumper and Maggie (our rescue is a neut) with no success. If they ever do have puppies, I'm going to do a theme. Right now, I'm thinking of names from the Broadway play Cats. There are so many cute names in that play!

Names...sm
I know someone else who named their dog DOG and pronounced it the same way. I thought that was the coolest thing.
Right now, I have cats Lucky, Tripp (Named for Matthew McConaughey's character in Failure to Launch), Stella, and the newest edition is Smokey, but I call him Max. I like people names for animals, too, so you can see who I didn't name. Over the years, I've had Mickey, Max, Sam, Pete, Chloe, and Sneezer (all cats) and my dog was Casey, who passed last summer at just shy of 13.
I have more pets than 10! Not one on the list!
Dogs - Ziggy Stardurst and Mello Yello, and Moe. Cats - Michael Jackson and Dr. Finkelstein (daughter's fave dictator), Rabbits - Dobby, Lupin, Binky, Marshmallow, Snitch, Fleuffer, George and Fred - are you sensing a heavy Harry Potter theme here?? Pumpkin and Radad. And my 2 black bear hamsters - guy and girl - Joey and Zora...Now does anybody remember that pair?? Other hamsters Bob, Faramir, Oompah and SweetTart. Any donations will be gladly accepted for my zoo........
Best Floors with Pets
I'm considering doing all new floors in my house. Hardwood on the first floor and carpet on the second floor. Any recomendations on what is best (most durable) considering I have a small dog? I really like dark wide plank hardwood but am worried it might show scratches the most. Also I'm thinking berber carpet for the second floor.
What odd things do your pets do?
My pooch will only eat the food in the center part of his bowl. I'm not quite sure why he won't eat the food around the sides.
All animals, pets or not are most definitely
.
re: leaving pets
No I don't leave messages but we've done some camping this summer and my kitty gets very mad when we leave. When we walked in the door after being away for a few days she wouldn't stop meowing at me, like she was telling me off for leaving her..she wouldn't let me pick her up either! Anyone else's pets get mad when you leave?
precious pets
Our pets, our friends, are so very, very precious. They love us unconditionally. What a blessing it is to share our lives with our pets. I am so very sorry for what has happened. I will pray for you. All our beloved pets, I optimistically feel, will be joined with us one day.
Pets are one of the best topics.
That and gardening and great vacation spots. Most people are very good about labeling their posts so you know what it's about before you bother clicking on something that won't interest you.
Know what else I like? Old cars. Like from 1900 thru 1969, the earlier and weirder or prettier the better. If I were going to collect anything, it would probably be models of little cars like that. Isn't that weird?
I am so sorry about your pets, have read
about the issues it seems you have been having. You love these little creatures so much and it really hurts when they are sick or when they leave us. My girl is an older girl and she has lost quite a bit of weight. She has thyroid- if hyper then can understand maybe the weight loss. No matter what I have tried, though, her throwing up continues. I thought maybe hairball problem and got feed for that. She was not eating at all. Here losing weight, not eating that food, tried senior food, no again. She loved the tuna flavored food yesterday and this morning I find puddles on new tiled floor which will not come up. I make myself heard clearly but like you say, folks just do not hear you or don’t listen because never asked for soft stool aid for her, she never had that going on. I am open to any suggestion for her sensitive stomach. Again, sorry about the things you are going through.
my pets eyes always look like that
when I take their picture. Must be my camera. It has red eye reduction, but I guess it doesn't have evil eye reduction.
Are there other pets in the house?
xx
Insurance for Pets
I wonder if there is insurance that covers illness in addition to accidents. We had a dog who had Cushing's Disease and the treatment cost us a small fortune.
Anyone have unusual pets?
Any a bit out of the norm pets out there? And those who have more popular pets, any interesting tricks or traits? (like beer drinking fish ... Lol)
Deer for pets
I am having a similar problem with my neighbor. Her yard adjoins our yard and she puts out food for the deer right on the property line. I don't mind the deer as they are pretty to watch, but it has gone from 2-3 deer from 5 years ago to nearly 10 deer constantly including bucks. They walk from the woods through our yard to go to her yard to eat. It has gotten to the point where the deer are roaming about all hours of the day, not just at dusk. I, too, see them roaming the neighborhood. One has come up on my front porch before. I have small children as do my other neighbors and I am concerned that they are going to startle the deer and someone might get bitten. I tell my kids to not to ever approach the deer and give them their distance. I am also concerned about deer ticks too.
I asked her if she would not feed the deer on the property line as it is causing a potentially unsafe situation and she got very huffy about it and said she was an animal lover and it was her right to feed the deer if she so desired. I tried to explain to her about the kids, not only mine but other kids, and the dangers of wild animals being in the yard and roaming around and she basically told me to "mind my own business."
I don't know in Pennsylvania what the laws are about having deer for pets or feeding them, etc, but I have heard in other states it is illegal.
It's true what they say about pets...
I started a couple of months ago with a new company. Crappy sound quality, lousy ESL dictators. I have practically been in tears a couple of times. Then my kitty comes in and says hello, and I can feel myself calming down. She's 16 years old and probably won't be here much longer, but I definitely see how pets can improve your health. I'll miss her sleeping in my office all day.
sick pets
I get my critters from the shelter also and have brought home sick animals before. I would just take him to vet tomorrow. PLEASE AVOID Banfield at PetSmart. Usually vets offices have a few morning hours on Saturday. Take him tomorrow.
What to do about lack of pets --
Got a problem...
I had a Pomeranian for 5 years. Had a cat for 4 months.
Last month I found out I was going to have to move (could not afford the old house any longer) and I found an apartment that would allow me to have my dog. Then, lo and behold, 2 weeks ago (4 days before I moved), someone stole my dog out of my backyard (no, did not get loose - someone took him). I canvassed the neighborhood, had the police visit several homes that were possible snatchers, but ended up having to move without finding him.
Well, the landlord would still not allow me to keep the cat even with paying a nice fat animal deposit so today I had to turn him over to the humane society. My daughter had planned on taking him, but he was just a little too aggressive for the 1 year old granddaughter.
So, now, I am sitting here missing my babies and thinking I am going to have to get another dog. Obviously I do not have a lot of money to spend on another dog, but I need and want the companionship and the fun that comes along with a dog. So, some suggestions on what you think would be the best for me to get.
I really love the dogs with all the hair (Shih Tzu, Pomeranian, Pekingese, etc), but I also think how nice it would be not to have all the hair all over me and the house. I also think that a "mutt" might make a good choice, but upon my visit to the humane society today to turn over my cat, there was nothing but big dogs and I had to move into an apartment, so I think that would be too much.
Darn it, I am just lonely and feel like I have lost 2 of my kids right now!
TinyLyn's names
1. Tiny.

Screen names...how did you come up with yours?
So how or why did you come up with the screen name you use here?
blondie_1147, deenibeeni, cherrychecked, phillygal, LinK, Just the big bad, backward typist, gourdpainter, PAMT, PAMT~MDM, mtmomof2, Twiters, XanaX, Silly Girl, Old part-timer, SkateGirl, Just Me, starving artist, Horski, Lolabug, GabbyChick, Kendra, sbMT, Kaydie, Marmann, Amanda, Stardust and all others?
Those are AWESOME names...sm
Our pastor gave our group the name The Lighthouse Gang, but I like you suggestions much better!!!
No names, none at all listed.
My brother and I were kids ourselves then but even his wife (stepmom to me) not listed.
Human names
I name all mine human names as they are a part of the family. Plus, when you meet someone by that name it is hilarious! I especially love old fashioned names for them. Right now I have a Hazel, Eliza, Eleanor and Stella that I named. Named one Nick as I found him at Christmas time for St. Nick.
Since so many of you posted about your pet names....sm
I figured I would post some of the ones that I remember from current/childhood pets.
DOGS: Cody, Ginger, Roxanne, Molly, Toby, Murphy, Patch, Zoe, Cassie, Tater, Reno, Gretchen, Sally, Baby, Heidi, Bear Dog.
HORSES: Missy, Rose, Bubba, Charlie, JJ, Shadow, Vet (like Corvette), Cherokee, Dusty, Stormy.
CAT: Spanky.
FISH: On Oscar named Skit (short for schizophrenia, he has multiple personalities, I swear it!).
All I can say is for people who want to cage their *pets*
or make them live outside (as another poster said), do yourself and them a favor and don't get them in the first place! How about that? :)
