My pets were:
Cats:
Kaz (pronounced coz)...short for Kamikaze because he would jump on your feet as you walked around when he was a kitten and go flying through the air as you stepped.
Zeke...short for Ezekiuel Jebediah. My mom named this one...I don't know why....turns out she was female.
Zach...short for Zachary Daniel....my mom again...and a female again!!
Bunnies:
Pepper.....for his coloring
Max.....the pet store put him in a maxi pad box for me to bring home.
Bubba....dwarf bunny that never got over 3lbs. But he would kick anyone's ass when he wanted to scrap. Would grab you with his front paws, sink his teeth in and start kicking with his back claws...but he was just playing.
Fish:
Come on....I'm not naming my fish!!!

How can you like something that has such an attitude. I say get them a nice burlap bag with a brick in it. Then take them for swimming lessons.

Yeah, that much attitude is too much attitude. Somebody find a big bag and a few cinderblocks, and we can give Clay his water training!!

At least out in Montana we have real cats. I came face to face (about 20 yds) with one a couple years ago. I accidentally walked in between he and the deer he was about to have for lunch. He decided to back off but only after about 30 seconds of playing who can stare the longest. Worst thing was I was caught with my 300 Win Mag on my shoulder and my 40 S&W in it's holster. I was pretty relieved when he decided I was a bit much to tangle with. The deer looked pretty happy about the whole situation too...LOL. I left that big boy a nice gut pile to snack on about 3 hrs later. So, I payed my homage to the Mountain Lion god.

Monster and Target are outside.
Monster - he was big as a kitten
Target- he has a circle on his side
They are my cats.

On some level, isn't every one of them a Target?

I know a guy who is now at the LRSD Company 82nd Aiborne that got kicked out of the Air Force cause he took a chicken out the back of a C-141. The stupid thing was they made him a little parachute and supposedly he was fine. Apparently the commander didnt see the humor. I about laughed my ass off!

Pets ROCK!!!
Let's see....
I had a dog named Raskin...learned to walk by holding his shoulders! (Awww!!)
At the same time had another dog named Zeke...ask my Dad...he is Texan!
Had a cat named Paquiri (Quiggins)- after the Spanish bullfighter
Had two cats named Sam and Polly....still have Polly. Named Neopolitan...cause she is calico
Had two ferrets...one named Snarf...and another named Sabina (after the woman...reference anyone?? This will test your knowledge!)
Had a cockatiel named Mr. T - after the doctor's patient who sold him to us
and last but certainly not least...currently have Byron (my 1/2 Rott 1/2 Shar-pei - GORGEOUS!!) and Juliett....my tortoise-shell cat living with my ex.
so, that about covers it!!
I love PETS!!!! Better than Children...not that I have any to compare it to, but they are my children...so it is good training!

Pets are Kids Lite™. You have to feed them, bathe them, housebreak them, care for them physically and emotionally, pay their medical bills, and make sure they're properly socialized so they don't try and hump the neighbors when they come over. Just about the only difference is that you can't claim them as a deduction on your taxes!!

OK, here we go as promised.
Korndog right after the shave he gets at the beginning of every summer - he thinks there's people food on the butcher block and he wants some!!
Korndog after he realized he's been spotted. "See? I'm behaving... promise!!"
Callie making sure I only surf approved sites. And does anyone else get a Doctor Claw vibe here? "I'll get you Gadget! If it's the last thing I ever do!!!" (6-pack of your choice* to the first person to correctly identify the website in the picture)
A rare moment indeed - both pets within a 5 foot radius of each other, and behaving!!
* - to be delivered when/if I visit your DZ. If you're feeling stumped, there's at least one person here who should instantly recognize that site...

Sorry guys....I know this is an old thread...but my mum sent this to me after I had posted to this thread...and I thought it was totally hysterical....so for your benefit...enjoy! And I thought it went particularly well with this thread:
A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer
to"Where do pets come from?"
Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you anymore. We are lonesome here and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us."
And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves."
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
And it was a good animal.
And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.
And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."
And God said, "No problem. Because I have created this new animal to be
a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG."
And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved
them.
And they were comforted.
And God was pleased.
And dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well."
And God said, "No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be with them forever and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration."
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And Cat would not obey them.
And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they
were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.
And God was pleased.
And Dog was happy.
And Cat didn't care one way or the other.
