What Pets, If Any, Do You Have?

He is going blind that is why he is like that. Bless his heart. He can't see or hear well anymore. My precious boy.
 
@Philly I love your tarantula! I wanted to keep a native black tunnelweb spider that turned up in a load of hay but my Dad said NO!!!! :(

You guys all have the cutest pets, We've always had animals growing up. At the moment I have two beardies called Lightning & Bess, my big boy Lofty the standardberd horse. Four cats, Whiskey whose the oldest at seven, Fox & Leo who are 14 months old & their mum Bullseye who moved in and took over the joinery workshop where I work. And I better count the goldfish in the pond in the garden too

Lovely fat rosehair!
I have ....everything. Almost everything anyway!
Mammals - I have a basset hound and italian greyhound, 3 cats, a naked hamster, and...I breed and show mice! Here is a couple of the variety I focus on. Black tans and PEW.

Fish - I have 5 tanks from 30 gallons to 55. Three are tropical fish, 1 is goldfish, 1 is...see below!
Reptiles - 9 snakes (corn, king, rat snakes, and a woma), 1 crested gecko, 1 box turtle, and from above...a tiny baby musk turtle.

No invertebrates or birds at this time. I do have a horse that lives with my parents. LOL!
Top image- *explodes from how cute they look* Those tiny eyes and wee mouths *explodes twice*

In topic, I have two dogs, Snowball and Wolfer (Also goes as Wolfgang Amadoge Mozbark, Wolfy the Wolf, Bites, Tigerclaw and other names) (He does look like a brown wolf lol) And we had a little Lovebird called Mr Green,but he sadly died due to cold weather. Same story for Sushi, Fishy, Fishy the Second, Fishy Jr, Fishy Jr Jr, Fishy the fifth, Fishy the sushi betta, Fishy the last, and Fishy the Very Last. They either drowned in water (Don't ask) or fought for the tank.
All boys and Sushi was a female. Yikes.

This is my little dog Maki. He is a Japanese chin about 6 pounds. He is getting old on me, but this photo is only a couple of months old. My mom paid to have him photographed and this was one of my favorites. You can click on it and it will get bigger.
Tula, he is so dang fluffy and adorable! I want- no, need- to hug him!
 
I had 9 hermit crabs until my mother made me rehome them (I'm still mad about that btw) I had 7 Purple Pinchers (standard hermit crab you find in stores all over the US) and 2 Strawberries (exotic and delicate hermit crabs from the beaches of the Indo-Pacific) I have a crab blog chronicling their adventures and also discussing hermit crab care and giving hermit crab food recipes (the food from the store is literally toxic to them)
Here are pics of each of them

Peanut: The Honorary Member of the Crabitat who is also a crab murderer (this is not a joke, he killed another crab in a vulnerable post-molt period while he was still soft) (Purple Pincher)

MEESTER Snips (Purple Pincher
tumblr_n7uk4gnzeZ1tbnkw0o1_540.jpg

Mike Aruba (Strawberry) The crab who was killed by Peanut after his first molt with me, normally he would have hardened his shell underground and come up a new man crab but since I was forced to rehome them I was made to dug him up and he was still soft, I told the man who fostered them to keep him separate until he hardens are walks around like a normal crab and he put him in with a molting Peanut, surprise he wasn't molting and he came up and killed him.

Tiny AKA The Jerk Crab (Purple Pincher) Tiny likes shells that are 1 size bigger than what fits him, so he constantly tried to steal Very Berry's shell until I was able to get enough money from commissions to order new shells online
tumblr_n5hphgJINg1tbnkw0o1_540.jpg

Little Baby Moto (or just Moto) (Purple Pincher) Moto was the smallest crab, he was about 5-6 years old when I got him
tumblr_n5hphgJINg1tbnkw0o4_540.jpg

Shuckle (Purple Pincher) Shuckle came to me with his brother Dwebble, Shuckle was missing a leg and even though he had about 2 molt he never really seemed to make much progress growing it back, last I heard Shuckle and Very Berry were living in a tank together
I never got a pic of Dwebble he was shy (Purple Pincher
I never got a picture of Charles Barkley either, I later found out she was a female though so her name doesn't fit but it didn't fit in the first place since a lot of my animals are named after in jokes. (Purple Pincher)

Very Berry is BERRY adorable //shot\\




I should go back to sleep now
 
The hermit crabs are just gorgeous @Philly . It surprises me that your mum ousted the crabs but let the tarantula stay lol.

Well the tarantula is not allowed in the house, she's lives at my father's house until I eventually move out and then she's coming with me

Also Very Berry was a very pinchy crab, whenever I had to pick him up for any reason he would pinch
 
Oh I thought Very Berry was the cutest of all. I had two axolotls years ago. A black one called Navara & a white one named Cortina. Navara was great to handle & really calm but Cortina was a biter

LOL!
 
My Great Dane Diesel he will be 11 in August. He puts up with almost anything. Except the post man and the pizza guy.



He is really lazy.

My 7 year old Cat Jazz ( yes named after the autobot lol)




My Twin sister Pigmy goat Brigette (left) and Abby (right) they are 9.

My horse buddy he pass away 8 years ago
Gone but not Forgotten was called my son and the 900 pound dog.
 
well here are my two kitties they are bit older now but this them. The male kitty is more active than the female kitty. They both are "I want all of your attention now." cats. They are black and white tuxedo cats. 10-11 years old now. I seem to bond with the male kitty with the "white lipstick on his lips." :
the boy kitty in first picture - the female is in the second picture:

 
@Ology they are some cute fur babies. Jazz looks pretty feisty but I could just hug Diesel all day with a face like that:)
It will be seven years since my boy Kossak past on this november.

Yeah we picked both of them from the same litter weird enough they were the best behaved cats from the bunch. They are brother and sister. Though our cats dont go after food really they sniff it and walk away they don't beg. We tried to raise them off of dry food feeder. The litter box is a chore with two cats but I manage. ><: We almost lost our male kitty last summer because he ran away and eventually we did get him back but he was so skinny. I was afraid to pet him but hes fattened up now. He seems to appreciate us more since he had his little "adventure."
My sister in law had a mom cat that had our cats and other kittens. I dont know what happened to the mother cat sadly. :(
 
Getting two kittens from the same litter seems to be the way to go. Fox & Leo are from the same lot of kittens & it's so cool to watch them playing together or curl up asleep together. Leo was still pretty wild when he came home but Fox had already pick me for his people when they all still live at the workshop, he was sooo easy to house train it wasn't funny, I think he must be a wise old soul or something (they both were a god send) So Fox taught his brother the ropes, litter box, food etc they were hassle free babies :)

:) 4 rabbits- Big Momma, Oreo, Pepper & Candy
:)2 dogs- Sandy (our Great Dane) & Cricket (our cocker spaniel)
