Pets (animals)

[Homewardbound]

Don’t trust craigslist. Js

Agreed! Lots of shady stuff on Craigslist.

Puppy mills like to operate there, and some of the animals they have are sickly or have other issues.

I have two mini Dachshunds. Both spoiled.
One is a "mama's boy" the other "daddy's star"!

That’s really cool and cute

I don’t have cats, but I use to work for an electrical supply company.
They supplied things like TVs, DVD players, VCRs etc (this was some years ago).

We use to have to do lots of repairs due to cats peeing on them and damaging the
circuit boards. You know that new electrical equipment smell, it’s pretty
distinct a combination or plastics and the new copper and boards heating up.

Apparently cats love that smell and it’s very common for them to pee on new
electrical equipment.

wow thanks for the information I will be sure to put dog breath spray on the cords (if needed) than they won’t want to be near it

I was putting music for my birds and they were coufused by the music, but when I put instrumental music they loved it. I thought ‘why don’t they like it?’ But if my guinea pig put a song for me in guinea pig language I would be confused too

I get a pet but I don't want to get an animal with a microchip because of the Bible prophecy and the mark of the beast. I don't feel at peace about it.How would i go about getting a pet without one?

Oh brother.. The mark is NOT a microchip. And that only applies to humans, not animals.. The mark will be something that cannot be removed from our bodies..

Craigslist?
Find a reputable breeder that doesn't chip?

There are wackos and scammers on CL. And she'd be better off to adopt rather than get one from a breeder. Alot of them are unreputable. And for the animal's safety should it get lost or stolen, it SHOULD be chipped.

I have 2 cats, a dog, and 6 leopard geckos.

The dog isn't too awfully bright. He tries to be helpful (he's a working breed, so he wants to be useful), but mostly just makes things worse.

The cats are always into mischief. They're very active and always up to something. The 12 year old thinks she's a kitten and keeps carrying off anything she can pick up. One of these days, I'm going to find a massive stash of hair bands and socks.

The geckos are fun. They can't get into quite as much trouble as the furry pets, but they keep life interesting. One is a people watcher. He spends all his time watching us from his tank. Another likes to demand cuddles and will scratch at the door to her tank to get someone to come and take her out. Then there's the one who plays with the cats... She'll run back and forth for as long as the cats will chase her. Little does she know she'd be dinner, if there weren't glass between her and the cats.

I have only a toy poodle. One time I let her finish what little was left of my Ben & Jerry's and her head got stuck in the container. Also she's blind now & runs into things, so that's amusing.

Here is a photo of her after I gave her a furcut:

Cute dog! How old is she? My mom has one and she is turning ten this year.

That's cool She will be 12 in April. I've had her since she was 6 weeks old.

I have 2 dogs.

This one barks when she sees herself in the mirror or reflection in the window

Maybe we can learn something from the way we treat our pets.

We had a border terrier.
She died last May.

She used to sit at the door to our conservatory.
Door frame and all glass.

She had a habit of sneezing.

When she did her nose banged against the glass.
She never learned her lesson.
