Post 'em up...let's see your pets...

So far I haven't gotten any crap/negativity/"fear mongering" here about my dog being an APBT...I belong to another forum "kramerforum.com" and here's what the discussion on APBTs heated up to there...

+1 German Shepherd Dogs rule the world!

You can see my constant companion in the first post of this thread.

Yea, bunnies are the best, IMO. I've had one but I had to give it up because my landlord, HUD,
will not let me keep one because it's an exotic pet. Sigh, it sucks but that's life.

The numerous unexpected benefits of living with a rabbit.

I started volunteering for SaveABunny way back in May. I learned everything I could about rabbits, I wrote about rabbits, I even did outreach events with rabbits once or twice, feigning rabbit expertise. I read all the other bunny blogs. But I have never, ever, lived with a real live rabbit. Until three weeks ago.

As with most things worth learning, one can spend a lifetime (or at least five months) studying a subject, but to really understand it, you have to do it yourself. Of course, cheating doesn’t hurt.

So in case you haven’t had the pleasure, here’s a cheat sheet I made for you of those unexpected things you would probably only learn from living with a rabbit yourself:

1. You can do things with rabbits that make human company uncomfortable. For instance, sometimes I just sit and stare at my bunny while he eats.

2. Since they’re little and don’t have opposable thumbs, they eat every vegetable a different way. It’s eternally fascinating. Yesterday I gave mine bok choy - today, broccoli. Sometimes I leave him trails of lettuce leaves just to see if he’ll follow them. He usually does.

3. They make great exercise machines. Just try catching one when he needs a nail trim.

4. You will never lose a staring contest as horrendously as you will to a rabbit. Your eyes will shrivel up and and fall out of their sockets in two sad piles of dust before your rabbit blinks. Not exactly a benefit, but a valuable experience nonetheless, if only for the massive amount of humbling you will receive.

5. You CAN’T leave a glass of wine on the floor next to a rabbit. They’re worse alcoholics than I am. (At least mine is.) I don’t know how this is a benefit, except that leaving glasses of wine on the floor was probably a bad idea in the first place, and this is an extra reminder not to do it.

6. They actually are constantly doing something cute. You sort of expect it, but then when it actually happens it’s a little bit amazing. I don’t think any other adult animal has an equal cuteness capacity. Maybe pandas.

7. They have a warm spot right behind the ears. When you rub it, it releases pheromones that make you sleepy and hypnotize you so that you keep rubbing. I’m pretty sure on this one.

8. You will spend a lot more time laying on the floor. This will inevitabely result in more frequent vaccumming, extending the life of your carpet and saving you money.

9. You will gain a new appreciation for all green vegetables. Watching someone else get so excited about them does make them more appealing. As a result, you will live a longer, healthier life.

10. Your capacity for forgiveness will increase exponentially.

In conclusion, if you haven’t yet adopted or fostered a rabbit, I highly recommend it.

New addition:




Just brought her home today. She is a brindle tiny toy poodle, and she'll grow to around 4 lbs.
No name yet (I'll let ya know when we do )


+10 on the cuteness factor...

WTF....Where do the batteries go??

That dog is tiny!!

Can't find the batteries, so I am assuming she is kinetic....

... Who says money can't buy happiness?? Money can buy puppies, and puppies=happiness !

This is our other child "Spike". We got his name from Tom Petty. He plays fetch too. His favorite toy??
A guitar string. When he sees me get out the cloth, polish and the wire cutters he gets excited and
firmly plants himself in front of the loveseat where I sit to do the string change. He gets maximum entertainment value out of a pack of strings. One night I left an old string on the floor for him to play with and put the other five in the garbage can. When I got up the next morning I found all six strings on the floor. He had opened the garbage can and dug out every last one. I love that damn cat.


Here's Spike as a kitten.



Spike now.



Spike up to no good.



Notice how well he matches the amp, though.

This is my son, a US Marine serving in Iraq currently with our pups. The Black and Tan Shepherd is King, the White Shepherd is Sarge and the Brown Collie and Chow mix is Willie



my house is not normally that dirty looking, that's all my sons clothes and duffel bags on the bottom right side of the photo.
