How Would You Describe Your Relationship With Your Pets

[EndersDame]

please feel freeto add pics I love animal pics!

[MorningGlow]

1. Two cats own me

I am here to serve.

At the moment, one is sitting beside me on the couch giving me the stink eye because the laptop is on my lap instead of her. Poor abused furbabies. x(

[Skittles]

14. I HEAR YOU, MG

sometimes I see my two cats in the corner, almost like they're in conference, and I know the subject is me :(

[seemunkee]

2. Our child replacements

Bean


Luna

[EndersDame]

6. They are too cute ! What breed are they

I recently entered the world of puppy ownership

[seemunkee]

7. Italian Greyhounds

Luna is small for the breed and Bean is oversized.

[EndersDame]

8. They both are beautiful

and look like lots of fun

[kedrys]

3. My cats are gods

I voted the world domination thing, but that's barely scratching the surface.

My house is a franchise of the Church of The Big Giant Cat, and the house felines are His/Her avatars.

I'm just staff. :P

[EndersDame]

5. I feel like that with my cats!

Although the gods are displeased when I brought a puppy into THEIR territory !

[Arugula Latte]

21. Me too, kedrys.

In my profile one of my hobbies is "serving my feline overlords." Although, it's not really a hobby -- it's more like my raison d'etre. Oh, and the human kids take a lot of my time, too. :)

[datasuspect]

4. benevolent overlord and brutal taskmaster

[TheCentepedeShoes]

9. We are the taller

entities who
Vocalize in gibberish
Provide yummys for the tummy and
Make the car go

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. Don't count dogs out on the world domination thing.

Jessie and I are currently locked in a battle of wills...and she is winning.

[EndersDame]

11. I am locked in a battle of wills with my new puppy!

I have only had cats before . They are quite different

[meow2u3]

12. My cats are both my furkid (and grandkitten) and overlords

This is what happens when you have a cat--or multiple cats--the kids indeed take over!

[EndersDame]

20. I totally understand that I have 3 cats and a puppy!

The cats are the overlords and are not shy about reminding the puppy

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. They demand my homage and constant attention.

And I happily give it to them.

:loveya: Kitties! :loveya:

[SallyMander]

15. This thread requires a pic of my boys

They are family, absolutely, and i can't imagine life without them!

Simon (L) and Elmo (R). :loveya:

[EndersDame]

16. Scruffy doggies!!

They look like happy dogs! I couldn't imagine life with out the warmth and love that only a pet can bring

[SallyMander]

17. I always joke that i am a sucker for dogs with beards

I don't know what it is, i just love it! :rofl:

What kind of puppy do you have? :hi:

[EndersDame]

18. Mini Pinscher/Terrier/Red healer (or so we were told anyway)

[SallyMander]

19. OMG squeeee!!!

Those ears! Those eyes! What a freakin cutie!!! :loveya:

[Arugula Latte]

22. I think that's some sort of wallabee.

;)

J.K. ... Cute.

[Ikonoklast]

23. Hey, you! Watchoo lookin'at?

You lookin' at me?

Do I amuse you?




:scared:

[Skittles]

36. I CAN TELL THOSE DOGS ARE SPOILED

YES INDEED

[SallyMander]

55. Spoiled?! No way!

Ok, umm, maybe a little.... ok or a lot. ;)

[grace0418]

63. Oh good heavens are they ever adorable!

I looooooooove scruffy dogs! Dogs with beards and eyebrows kill me! :loveya:

[SallyMander]

64. Hehee, thanks grace0418!

I am the same way! I grew up with a lab mix, so not sure where it came from... but as soon as i was able to have a dog of my own i just gravitated towards the scruffies! :D I love the stubborn terrier personality too, they are just great dogs all around. :)

:hi:

[grace0418]

65. I don't know what it is either. As soon as I get a place with a yard I am going to

adopt at least one Welsh Terrier. Those are my absolute favorite, especially when they're not overly groomed and allowed to get a little scruffy. You should see me when I spot one on the street, it's all I can do to keep from screaming.

Sigh...someday.

:hi:

[Bonn1997]

77. Terrier mixes? Whatever they are, they're beautiful!

[GirlAfire]

24. These Are My Babies!

I have five sweethearts. They are awesome.

My sister holding Kira:


Kira again being held by sister again:


Teddy (the one barking) and his dad, Rambo:


Pepper (though I call her Pepper le Pew):


Lady (the mother of Kira and Pepper):


Kira, Pepper, and Lady (Lady's butt is all you see; she's on the far right.)

[EndersDame]

25. They are simply adorable!

My puppy is named Kira as well. What kind are they

[GirlAfire]

27. Thanks!

Four of them are peek-a-poms. And the remaining one (Rambo) is Pekingese.

:D

[EndersDame]

28. I guess when you breed two adorable dogs you get something uber cute

[GirlAfire]

31. You sure do!

They are precious, and I love them to death! Are you going to post yours, or did you already? I bet they are really cute too.

[EndersDame]

32. ...

[GirlAfire]

33. OMG!

What a cutie! Y'know, although I have five, I can always make room for one more...

Just sayin' :D

[undeterred]

26. I am my dog's personal valet and he is my buddy.

When I say to him "Who's the boss?" he tries to vocalize... I think he is saying he's the boss.

[EndersDame]

29. My little puppy has a Napoleon/alpha dog complex

[Duer 157099]

30. What is this "pet" you speak of?

Unless you mean my furry child?

[PJPhreak]

34. Timber thinks he's the bestest dog of all

Timbers most recent picture.

[EndersDame]

41. He is very handsome!

Is he a blue heeler?

[PJPhreak]

45. Siberian Husky/Australian Shepard nt

[seemunkee]

51. Is he really that blue?

He's is very handsome

[PJPhreak]

62. Yes he is,He Thanks ya'll!!

[wickerwoman]

35. Locked in an intractable battle of the wills...

which is ultimately hopeless:

[EndersDame]

40. what a good looking cat!

Here is one of mine!

[sakabatou]

37. She thinks I'm her slave

[Rhiannon12866]

38. Numbers 1-4 for me, especially the valet choice, just now...

I just spent an eternity cleaning dried poop off the pup's butt, not my favorite hobby, but it had to be done, especially if he expects to sleep on my pillow tonight... It's odd, since he was just washed and groomed, she must not have trimmed him enough. It's just him and me, so I'm on my own here, no help to be had, but, to be fair, it was probably tougher on him... x(

My little guy, on a happier day... :loveya:

[hobbit709]

39. Five dogs.

It's their house, I exist only to make the mortgage payment and feed them.
Jake

Rusty

Boogie-aka Queen of The Doofii

Wheezie

Sweetie Pie The Snuggle Puppy

[EndersDame]

43. You have a good looking pack!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

42. my cat has always provided consolation to me. human being not so much

[quakerboy]

44. my pets have all passed

so, i try to have as little interaction with them as possible, saving the occasional memory.

[Orsino]

46. Honorary family members.

They can't really express their opinions about much, but we love 'em, and make family decisions with their best interests in mind.

[chemenger]

47. I feel like an orderly in an insane asylum.

nt

[EndersDame]

48. I feel your pain I have 3 senior cats and a hyperactive puppy

[cwydro]

53. Me too.

Two old dogs and too many cats.

[AlienGirl]

49. My toddler just has a strange skin condition...called "feathers"

My parrot talks meaningfully in English, is mostly potty-trained, requires constant attention, likes watching cartoons, loves pizza and hates green foods, goes with me pretty much anywhere I am allowed to bring him, and is very much like having a bright two-year-old with ADHD and a toolkit.


This is a picture of us at Yellowstone:


My other bird, a starling, is more like a room-mate. He was a wild bird before being hit by a car and doesn't like human contact very much. I do what I can to keep him entertained with stuff that uses the skills he developed in the wild.

Tucker

[EndersDame]

50. He sounds like he isquite a character he is very beautiful btw

[betharina]

52. beautiful...

and i'm jealous, my 2 year-old boy didn't come with the toolkit:)

[SteppingRazor]

54. My dog is my sidekick. My two cats seem to serve no purpose other than to annoy the shit out of me.

And sadly, with the recent passing of my two geckos, thems the only animals I have.

[mvd]

56. Member of the family

for sure.

[Chemisse]

57. My little angel

She is an English Mastiff and huge actually, but she is a little baby to me.

[EndersDame]

59. I love wrinkly dogs!

[Chemisse]

60. Me too!! nt

[Soylent Brice]

58. purely platonic. n/t

[backwoodsbob]

61. all but cat world domination applies

the lady at the corner *well if 5 miles away is corner* store comes out to give my dogs begging strips ever time I bring them.

They have slaves everywhere :P

[EndersDame]

70. Every one needs minions (sp)!

[grace0418]

66. I found my kitties when they were two weeks old, abandoned in an attic. So they developed

very different personalities than most of the other cats I know (and I seem to know a LOT of people with cats). I think because cared for them from such a young age, even having to feed them with bottles, they totally see me as their mom (well, saw...one of them died a few years back). They were extremely social from a very young age and loved to be held, hugged, kissed.

My remaining kitty, who is now 16, is the sweetest living creature I have ever met. He loves everyone and will greet everyone at the door demanding love and attention. I think it freaks some people out. :) Even dogs in the building have encountered him and he trots right up to them to say hello with no hesitation.

So yes, I guess I see him as my baby. I *know* he sees me as his mom.

[EndersDame]

67. You are an amazing person to do this

:hug:

[grace0418]

69. Awww. You're sweet. Actually, I don't know how anyone could have seen those tiny

little balls of fur crying and scared and NOT taken them in. My heart broke in half the minute I laid eyes on them. They were so ridiculously tiny and adorable. Sigh... :loveya:

[rbnyc]

68. My cats used to be my babies...

...until I had a baby. Then my feelings changed drastically. For the first few months, I couldn't even stand them and my husband had to take care of them completely. I would do nothing for them. I slowly warmed up to them again, and now I love them so much. But it will never be quite the same. It really gave me the strongest sense of love being intensely chemical.

[Rabrrrrrr]

71. Just as it should be - I leave them alone, they leave me alone, and I feed them

and take care of them as per the covenant I entered into when I decided to have them as my pets.

[flvegan]

72. I'm happy to be their manservant.

Nah, I get more benefit than they do, I'm sure.

[Roon]

73. My cats tolerate me

the only time Barney gives me loves is when his food dish is empty.

[lukasahero]

74. I'm pretty sure Bella thinks I'm her littermate

So I guess that would mean I'm part of her family but she's the heart of ours.

[EndersDame]

75. She looks like she is a happy dog and very beautiful

[lukasahero]

76. She is happy - she's spoiled!

And thanks - we think she's beautiful. :)

Your new little one is just adorable. I can see the same mischief in the eyes that Bella had at that age. All I can say is: good luck! :rofl:

Bella may never grow up (she never had a chance to be a real puppy so we think she's going to spend the rest of her life making up for that!) I have to say, mischief and all, I'll take my eternal puppy. :) (She's 'sneaking' post it notes out of my trash bin behind me as we speak, er, write. She thinks we don't notice. ;) )

[EndersDame]

80. Bella looks like she is up to something or thinking about something

My puppy is just so brazen if I saw her picking out post its she would look me straight in the eye as if saying "yeah so what" she even climbed a tree after a squirrel (the trunk was angled just right

[lukasahero]

82. Oh Bella's a tree climber, too!

She's just too darn big to really do it. (She's about 50 lbs.) We think there's some Coonhound in her and know she's got some Basenji so some day we figure she will make it up the tree!

The look on your pup's face in that pic says it all. Smart, charming and defiant - all in one glance. I saw your post in the Pets forum about training and fell in love with her there. The ears are killing me.

The post-its with Bella are a kind of game. She has a thing for paper so we place napkins and paper to be shredded where she can get to it. When she does, it's just a big game of chase and keep away. We've found if we give her the paper, she stays away from the shoes! :)

[Brickbat]

78. Other: They're pets, and when they die I'm sad for a day or so. I do not consider them my children,

my roommates (they contribute little), or members of the family who eat, travel and sleep when and where I do. I think I'm in the minority, though.

[KG]

79. my bestest buddy!

[EndersDame]

81. (S)he looks like a good buddy !

I bet he or she loves you and having fun! Your buddy is way too cute!
On edit: for some odd reason I pictured your dog with a red superhero cape

[baldguy]

83. Zelda was my best buddy.

She died last Friday. :-(

[EndersDame]

84. I am so sorry

:hug:
