*Official Pet Pics Topic* (Warning... lots of images)

[Fugitoid]

I've seen this on other boards and these topics/threads usually do well and get people involved.

So I'll start off with mine:



That's Molson. He's a Chocolate Labrador Retriever. Unfortunately, the retrieving part is only for 4-5 times, then he gets bored and walks away with the ball.

[Michaelangelo]

Molson should answer the "Welcome Questions" too since he's on the board   Though I'll post a reply about my pets tomorrow!  I LOVE Pets!  

[Brinatello]

Awww, Molson is such a cute huppy dod!  My family's dog, Jake, is also a Chocolate Lab, but his fur is a little more lighter in texture.  He must be Milk Chocolate while Molson is Dark Chocolate!  

Okay, here's my kitties, Jasmine, a female Tux and Toby, a male Tabby.  It's an old picture taken several years ago, but they haven't changed much.

Sounds like fun.  

Here's my pet turtle, Padugi.  She's a three-toed box turtle from the south west region of the US (but I bought her in Illinois in 1999).






And then... even though I don't have a horse of my own, I used to ride at a lesson barn quite a bit.  Here's my favorite horse, Gypsy (personally, I think he should have been named Phantom).  He's an energic Arabian-Appaloose cross bred, and is still fairly young/green.  I got to teach him out to jump this summer before I had to call it quits.



More photos on him can be seen in my Photobucket too.

IQ and LittleFoot:


Nigel getting a lecture about jumping over the barrier, though nowadays the rats get to roam the whole livingroom.

Heh, everyone else is doing it, and I finally got a photobucket account, so here's a few of mine.



Zoisite-kitty(aka: Zoe) sleeping on one of my TMNT blankets at the farm. She loves that blanket. Hijacked it quite often for nappies if we left it on the floor, or moved it aside to get up for something.



Jasmine(aka: Jazz, sometimes Spazz ), my big mama cat, showing she's still young at heart a couple Christmases ago, playing with a ribbon or string. I've had her since 8th grade, so she's 11 or 12. I got her in March from a friend of mine, but I can't recall the exact month she was born, so she's an old lady.



And this is Nova. She's kinda shy, spends most of her time down in my dad's machine shop, but she's coming up to the house more. She doesn't like to come in much, had some health problems when she was a kitten, had to be taken to the vet, so she thinks if she goes into the house, she's gonna go to the vet. Poor thing. Took her forever to warm up to us and get used to coming out.

Yes, that's me in the picture holding her. Heh. Not the best shot of me, but we had her in shortly after she was sick, I forget how long it was after that, she was still skittish at the time, and it was all I could do to hold her long enough for Mom to take the picture.

Awww, such cute pics!

Here's my little Bomgorf, "Sir Snuggly Paws, Sylvester of KUTIFania".  Usually we call him Syl, Sylly or, my personal fave, ACK! (as in "ACK! Get your teeth out of my arm!!!"):



He was a stray who we adopted (or he adopted us). The shaved patch on his paw was from his trip to the vet for THE OPERATION. Poor thing, I ended up taking him back out the same night, because he'd gotten a badly abcessed cut behind his ear. He's forgiven me, though...

...this is really feeding my pic addiction here. *G*


Saki...originally Sake, but his personality came out...so we changed it. He loves going after the cats, leaping to impossibly high spots, and running around on the floor...wether we know it or not. Ninja rat...just not as peaceful as ol' Splints. Or dignified for that matter. Cute bugger.


Cleo, perched atop my leather-clad arm. Our neighbors gave her to us as a kitten 'cause they couldn't keep her anymore, since they were taking care of a terminally ill family member who couldn't handle too many animals, as well as a little boy with heart disease. She's a real lover, like you wouldn't believe. She was originally "Rosie", but that didn't fit...she's a perfect Cleo.


Ajax...on my head. He's actually a pretty big cat...right around 20 lbs and very long. Quite the character...likes to talk back. He's named Ajax because when he was a kitten, after we got him from the Humane Society, he'd always come out of the litter box with litter on his nose...'cause he's so dark and the litter's so pale, it looked like he'd been rooting around in powdered Ajax. *G*

Great pics, everyone!

[Fugitoid]

Great pics there folks! Keep 'em coming!

MICHAELANGELO!!

Where are yours!?!? Two days ago you said you would put up something the next day.

Heh sorry, been busy.   Though here I am with a few pictures.  What I'm going to do is focus on one pet per a post.  This here is the Toby Post.  He's my pride and joy and has been by my side since 1997 (when he was born, I was there the day he was born).   Toby usually is a stay at home dog, though he loves going on walks and even got one road trip cross country.  He's the only one of my pets that got to visit the set of "Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation" with me.  



As you can tell in this picture, Toby also enjoys Turtles.  He's got a few different Turtle toys, this one here is his favorite.



Toby really loves to lay in my bed, every night he lays down next to me and has done so since he was a puppy.


This is Toby with his Sister Sassy.  Sassy originally was going to remain with the family that had their mother, Misty... but they ended up giving her to my Grandma.  Though since my Grandma passed away two years ago, Sassy has become a good part of our family.  (Sassy will get her own post with more Sassy pictures )


All in all, Toby's a very happy Dog.   (This is a shot of him wanting to jump up on the chair with my mom and Sassy.  Had to put this up to show he doesn't always just lay around.)


Though laying around is what Toby does best.   Here's a picture of him next to my Michelangelo doll.  

(If you want to see information about one of my past pets who I loved very very much please check out her site.  Her name was Copy. )

[Brinatello]

Hehehe, it's funny there's gotta be a number of people online I know that have Tux kitties!  Raphael, you're added to the list!    And moronqueen has a cat just like my Toby!  Cute doggie pics, Ivey.  I know your Toby is very lovey dovey and has even slept with me on your bunk bed!  Thought he wouldn't because he's not familiar with me, but he must be comfortable with anyone who stays in your room.

[moronqueen]

I remember Toby, Mike...he was rather...ah...*cough* AFFECTIONATE towards...I dunno, should I call hubby "Tarzan" here? *G*

And, yeah, Bri! YOUR Toby and Cleo are very similar...Cleo doesn't have as much white though, it looks like, but she has more orange to her...when she was a kitten, only her nose was orange...it was kinda funny.

Here's my two pets!

This one here is named Hannibal. This is my big mouthed dog who thinks he's king of the world. Reason we named him Hannibal is because i wanted something more then the basic name of Fido. Someone suggested this name and i thought it was cool. So that's why he's named as such. He's about 3 here.




And this one here is the family dog, Nyles. He's a big ball of white fluff and that's his spot you see him trying to escape from at the moment. LOL He is about 7ish 8ish.

[TurtleNinja]

Aww! That's cuuute! All of these pets are so precious!

Mo: So THAT'S how Ajax got his name. lol, nice, powdered ajax. Never heard cat litter be referred to that before.

Fae: Hannibal? lmao, I love it! "Hello Clarice..." *giggle*

[Danceingfae]

That always crack me up TN. So many people are in doubt when i say his name then start making references to the movie. Always makes me laugh!
