Pets...who has what and how many.

[JHarris1385]

Non-VX thread. I was just wondering what kind of pets everyone on here has? I have a very extensive list. With a new comer next month (Bearded Dragon, does anyone on here have one or had, that can shoot me some helpfull info?)

My List: (I still live with my Dad, so thats the reason for the multiple GS's)

8 - German Shepherd's 3 National Ranked in the top 10 of all GS's - 2 are in the top 5 - 1 is #2 only second to his training partner. (Our dogs are trained in search and rescue, obebidence, Schzhund and Rally....
3 - Cats 1 minx
3 - Aquatic Turtles one Red Ear Slider, 2 Mississipi Maps

Comming soon a Bearded Dragon? Any past or present owners out there?

Hey, right now I have a Chihuahua mix of some kind, and 2 cats, an Oriental Shorthair and a Cornish Rex.

However, when I was younger, I was an avid herper. At one point I had 5 aquatic turtles, 2 box turtles, a Florida King Snake, a Savanah monitor, a black and white tegu, a red-tailed boa, 2 ball pythons, a very large green iguana and a Tokay gecko....and oh yeah, 2 African Clawed frogs.

Right now I have no herps. Mostly because I have been moving around alot since I lived in Florida, but also because the herp pet trade left a bad taste in my mouth. Some of the over collection and poor husbandry I saw eventually got to me.

I plan to once again have a nice tank, maybe next year after we buy a house. I want to get a nice breeding pair of AFCs again (African Clawed Frogs) and I would like to build a nice turtle tank again. I have always wanted a Mata Mata and now I have the time, space and money, so eventually I will try to find a CB Mata Mata. If I don't go Mata Mata I will try to find a CB Alligator Snapping Turtle or a just a couple common snappers.

I just say make sure you know it is CB. The wild populations are dwindling, fast...

Two Shiba Inu dogs.

One 12-year-old red female named Shimi, and one 10 WEEK old cream female named Yuki.

Shibas are perfect dogs for road trips, btw...

We have four, three dogs and one cat. Molly is a black lab/collie mix. She is 15 yrs old, about 60 lbs. Unfortunately Molly has recently gone deaf and has some hip problems. We have two Shiba Inus, Rex and Princess. Rex is 7 yrs old, 22 lbs. Princess is 6 yrs old, 19 lbs. Our cat, Tria, is, I think, a domestic shorthair. She's a black and white tuxedo cat, about 1.5 yrs old, 10 lbs. Here's a pic of the canine crew...





Molly is one of the dogs my wife had in Ohio before we met and came with her when she moved here to Florida. Before too long Rex won us over at a pet store.

Here's another of Rex smiling for the camera. He loves cameras, laser pointers, and stuffed animals. He's grumpy some times but he's alright.





Princess used to be called Mia. The veterinarian told us they had another Shiba that they saw and that the owner needed to find a new home for her. The vet office believed she was being abused by her owners. We were the only other people they knew who had a Shiba, and they asked if we could adopt her. Well I couldn't say no. We took her in, renamed her Princess after a West Highland white terrier I once had, and she is a very sweet dog.

Apparently Princess was around cats before. She seems to have a real affinity for them. She is good buddies with our cat, Tria, and was immediately protective of her when we introduced her to the dogs. And if you're new and you're a cat, Princess is the friend you want to have. She is the smallest dog, but can whip them all. No joke. Anyway, here they are together...





I found Tria as a kitten in the middle of traffic on one of our city's busiest roads. She had a mangled tail and rear leg and was trying to pull herself off the road into the grassy median. I caught her and got her to the closest vet, who guessed her a 6 weeks old. She ended up losing both the tail and the leg, but she gets around like a champ. She is the sweetest, best pet I've ever had. Very, very affectionate and just a total sweetheart. My wife says the cat is the real love of my life. :-)

Here are a few previous relevant threads from the time I found her...

And here are the pics I posted here at the time...








This is Tria sunbathing in her cozy bed...





And this is a pic my wife took for the calendar she had made for me for this past Christmas. The whole calendar is made up of great pics of Tria. I want one of the new VX calendars too, but my cat calendar will be the favorite. :-)
