I have a new friend!

[DocHussey]

Meet Otis, my new dog. He got his name thanks to his baying and his blonde-ness. (Otis Redding's song "Sittin' on the Dock of a Bay" and the dog, Otis, from "Milo and Otis") He is a Treeing Walker, and comes from a family of great hunting dogs. I was able to get him for free because he has a little bit of a hip problem, causing him to walk a little funny and the breeder thought he wasn't going to be able to sell him as a hunter. I don't care, hes an adorable pup, and I'm looking more for a lounge dog than a hunter lol.

On a similar topic, what sorts of pets do you all have?

[duartemad]

A cat and a dog, that are indifferent to each other. Except when eating.

[Last_Jedi_Standing]

Aww, he's cute! How old is he?

I have 2 dogs, 3 cats, 9 hermit crabs, a tank of brine shrimp, two fish, a pair of shrimp, and some random other stuff.

[DocHussey]

He's a shave over seven weeks, just ripe to be taken from his mother. Smart as a whip too.

Now, you have an extremely eclectic selection of animals, where did that come from?

Otis is just the cutest! I hope his hip problem won't end up being a serious medical thing, though!

As for my own pets, collectively we have four dogs. The eldest is a Chihuahua named Tamie that I got when I was 10. She mostly sleeps. Next came some sort of shepard mix named Tinko, although he adopted us against our will. The two youngest that belong to my parents are Rowdy, the asshole chihuahua mix that has scarred nearly everyone in my household, and Coco, the one eyed chihuahua.

Adorable dog, Doc.

I have two cockatiels(birds), one grey and one yellow, they aren't staying with me because my apartment is too cold right now.

[Rianaru]

While we're on the subject of pets, do younger siblings count?

[dawnraider]

Otis is adorable! I only have an old siamese cat.

EDIT: +1 to the above (even though I have none, my cousins that I see often count)

[Detritus]

2 dogs, and 3 ducks, although there could be incoming ducklings soon.

I dunno, really. I've always had cats and dogs. I actually used to have a few more, but one of the dogs died and one of the cats is living with someone else now. I love crustaceans, so that's where the hermit crabs and the shrimp come from. Then there needed to be some fish in with the shrimp, and so on and so forth. I used to have a 120-gallon salt water aquarium, but my house flooded back in 2009 and it was destroyed. There were a lot more critters in there. The shrimp and fish are in a smaller one now. Animals are fun.

Yes, I do. I don't know how many there are. They're in one of those sealed ecosphere things, so there isn't really any way to count them. I'd estimate about a dozen or so.

I have 2 cats, Jade and Topaz.

My family used to be dog people, cats have done something to our brains to change this.

We also feed 1-2 neighborhood cats in the back yard, though, we just took one to the vet to be spayed last week, she is decidly less friendly at the moment.

Well currently I can't have any pets, but at my mom farm there be 4 dogs (2 Great Pyrenees) and 10 cats all together. Yay cats! Gratz on the New Dog DocHussey, he's a cutie.

TWO Great Pyranise?! Do you have a small farm just to feed them? Those are some big dogs man. I've always been a dog person, bt my living situation demanded that if I was to have any pets, it had to be a cat at the time. I just can't stand to live somewhere without an animal or two.

Miss_Kat is... A dog person? Thats interesting. If I didn't know any better, I'd think your family has a chihuahua fetish...

Kat is just short for Katarra, which is my usual UN. xD My parents hate cats (and my mom is allergic) so I've never had the chance to be a cat person!

And considering we own this, I'd say you're probably right in your assessment.

Meet Sebastion! He's a 10 year old, seal point ragdoll, weighing 25-30 pounds and from head to tail is about 4 feet long! He's been with me since i was a kid, surviving the "Forts" i would build for him.
