Pets

Haha, I just noticed the other post earlier and was going to reply saying that a deaf dog does have its difficulties but for the most part isn't so bad - one of my dogs went deaf with age. He sleeps a lot better now and isn't as anxious as he used to be; it's calmed him a lot. When we teach tricks, we give hand signals in addition to saying it, so he still knew how to do them. One time this winter though he took off into these acres of maybe 10' tall pine trees we'd planted years ago, and got lost, and the thing is he can't hear us calling - we were genuinely afraid we'd never find him again.

If your dog isn't deaf though, I do have to say that's considerably easier.
And yeah, I just dealt with the whole puppy thing a few months ago. After having old dogs for years, you forget the fact that behind their adorable appearance, puppies can be devilish little monsters too. At least my dog has calmed a tiny bit and become more obedient at this point.

Nope, not deaf. Just dumb as a post. I guess all puppies are, though. This one likes to chase people and bite their ankles. It's best to have shoes on constantly around him, because if he gets the back of your foot, it hurts so, so badly. Him and his damn needle-teeth. Needle-teeth and needle-claws is really all he is right now. He doesn't like to be held and will chew on your hands if you try to pet him. He likes me best because I let him chew on my hands. I ought to stop letting him, but it's my favorite thing about having a puppy. I don't really know why that is, but my arms are torn up something terrible. It's no bueno.

He only peed on the floor twice today! Such a good boy. He is getting better, though. Now he cries if he has to potty. If we hear a whine, he needed to be outside 15 seconds ago. So we take him out there, he pees, and then he tries to eat rocks and dandelions. He [&@%!] loves rocks.

Over the weekend and today I've been dreadfully sick>_> and yet through all that time my dog Holly has stayed by my side, normally resting by my feet as she is doing right now. Really though, whenever I fall ill you really can tell that hint of concern. At least only my dog does such.. whenever my Ma gets sad either from something depressing or some movie, all 4 of them crowd around her.. which ironically makes it worse

IT's so cute when pets do things like that.
Hope you feel better soon Beta!

Behold the cuddly wuddly baby ferret and despair! Gaze upon its blind, soft-as-velvet visage and feel the terrible might of all mustelids!

[All hail!]

Aww.

My cat just jumped in my lap, purring. She stayed there for about an hour, and then just started biting and clawing me before running away. I wasn't even holding her, she was just sitting on me. Cat, it was your idea to hang out with me, not mine.

[Pisik]

I wrote a long post but removed it.

Miss you sooo much dear Sarman...

[Evol]

I just did the same thing. Wrote a long post describing my pets then realized I wasn't signed in and it all disappeared. Anyway I have a momma cat and 5 kittens. 2 outside Tom cats. And 3 dogs. I live in the country on 80 acres so they have room to roam around.

[BetaB17]

Wait wait wait.. what? Seriously? Why? Like really, why? I'm just here, listening to my vids, playing Dark Souls<_< then out of nowhere my dog Noah just comes up and starts licking the side of my xbox? I mean, no logical reason >_> there was no food or anything seeing as I keep it cleaned and well maintained.. Later I found he was drugged not too long ago to help ease him through the night... still doesn't explain why >__<

My cat's favorite food was cellophane, so go figure. You couldn't unpack a TV or assemble an end table in the living room without that ball of mischief sneaking over to the packing carton and start nibbling at the corners were the tape was applied.

Isn't that stuff poisonous?

She was the Devil's own lil' princess, which made her quasi-immortal. And she wasn't the brightest bulb on Broadway, either.

She was an odd contrast to my sister's cat, who was undoubtedly the smartest cat I've ever seen. He did the whole 'Jurassic Park velociraptor thingy' and learned how to open doors to get at his food.

The two of them together was very much a 'Pinky and The Brain' kind of a deal

Argos is getting accustomed to the concept of not being a fetus. He has a whole life of blatant peacockery ahead of him.

Awww, so fwuffy!

Nice scarecrow behind you! Doesn't seem to be working on him thankfully.

In the Uk, Argos is a catalogue shop, but I'm guessing he's named after the Greek city and not this.

[Argonanza]

The city's founder, actually. He was a giant dude with many, many eyes. I hope it doesn't turn out to be a girl, or the name would be moot.


E: Wanja, full to the brim with what can be accurately described as tiny, hairy, squeaking sausages. The derp is strong with this one.

Sounds about right, except he was known as the Hecatonchires and he had thousands of arms too.

I have a cat, she's 11 years old. She's a rescue. She was actually found when very little, my grandma raised her. After my grandma passed away, 4 years ago, we took the cat in.

I also had a bunny when I was a kid, and later on had a guinea pig that lived for 7 years.

[Dark Spark]

There's a new cat in the game. She's a tortoiseshell of a few months, found literally stranded up a tree. She's mostly black in coloration right now, kinda looks like Akhari from Skyrim, but I suspect she will not be amused if I name her so.

I'm thinking Tuesday. As in "I got the kitten Tuesday and she's really gentle." And, of course, who could hang a name on you...
