How many pets do you own, what types and what are their names/nicknames

[kellekokid]

Right now I own 2 dogs, mixed breeds Jenny looks like a whippet but I think she may have some lab in her only cause her brother looked like a pure blonde lab. When we got Lou, the vet we had at the time, said his Mom is a Collie, German Shephard mix and his Dad is a Wiredhaired terrier and cocker spanial mix.....he looks just like a Corgi!! I think the only thing GS about him is that one ear sticking up straight ha They both have several nicknames from Little Girl, Sister, Jen-Jen, Jinger, Little Man, The Boy, Louber, Brother and then there is Vinnie Valentino our Betta Fish his names just range from Vinnie or Tino.
Pictures of all of them are in the photo gallery if ya care to puruse there

I have a dog. She is a Westipoo which is a cross between a Westhighland Terrier and a Poodle. Her name is Holly. Nicknames include, Bear, Boobear, rat, aminal (no misprint), and several I can not publish publically.

As with many, such as Jenn, Lou and Jackson, she can be found in the Gallery.

Adopted both from the shelter.

We also have a hamster.

Russian Blue = Anchovy
Maine Coon = Tolstoy
Hamster = I forgot/don't care

What an intersting name for a hamster....
I had a cat years ago named Penny, she was all grey and black streaks but had one copper colored spot under her "arm" (guess that would also be known as the front leg....) so that's how she got that name.
My Mom had a black cat (one of many through the years) Dad used to say he thought the cat's name was "dammit" cause that's what Mom kept saying to it the first nite she had it home....she was trying to get it out from behind the couch and all you could hear was Rowdy as he became known...running full tilt from side to side and Mom hollering "Dammit!" lol

I own a 7 year old Shih Tzu named Gingerbaby. I also have 9 fish in a 55 gallon fish tank at home with no names, 1 algae eater, and I can't remember the different other types of fish we have. lol. And I have a beta here at work that I come to own by accident that is named Terry B. after one of the investors.

As of today, we have three pets. One barn cat and two purebred Pembroke Welch Corgis. The new puppy is adorable. We picked him up from the airport today at 4:30. So far, I've almost used a full roll of film.
Our 2.5 year red male (Yogi) seems to be handling the addition to our family quite well. Now all I have to do is think of a name for the new boy.

[mranderson]

I will always claim Holly, my Westhighland. She died last year (on January 2, 2006, of cancer) as many of you know.

Currently, we have two purebreed Jack Russells, Caleigh and Sadie and Our newest canine child, a canine son named Mr. Magoo who is half Italian Grayhound and half Jack Russell.

I call Caleigh Caleigh Lou and Sadie Sadie Sue. Magoo is little man, or baby boy. Holly was and always will be Boo-Bear.

(I guess this thread is older than I thought. It turns out to be an update. Sorry)

2 min pins....5 yr old brotha's...Fletcher and Frazier

[PUGalicious]

This will probably come as a surprise... but our family has two pugs as well as a lhasa apso.

Our youngest pug is named Samuel Elijah Nicholas... and we call him Sam, Sammy, Sammer, Stinker and (the one I use myself alot) My Buddy. We got him from a breeder as a pup. Now he's nearly 2 years old.

Our older pug is named Princess Feona... and we call her Princess, Big Girl (because she is a big girl) and Sweetie. Princess was the name she had when we adopted her and that's really the only thing she will answer/respond to. We found her by way of a fellow OKCTalker who was looking for a home for her. She's been a blessing to our family ever since she arrived! She's 3+ years old.

Our lhasa apso is named Gideon Michael David... and we call him Gideon, Gid, Mop and any other thing that fits the moment. He's 5 years old and we got him from the Edmond Animal Shelter. After checking with a few different vets, it appears that he is pure bred and was simply abandoned.

Even as I write this, the two pugs are lying next to and on me. There's barely enough room for my laptop to sit on my lap in between the two dogs!

Here's a pic of all three (from left to right, Sam, Gideon and Princess)...

Well, before my divorce, I owned 3 dogs:

Beagle - Aubree
Lab/Shepherd Mix - Charlie
Border Collie - Katie

And a cat named Jaspyr (he has since passed on due to feline leukemia)

Now, after the divorce, I own two crazy cats, Smokey and Sydney. One is extremely playful and climbs on everything (Smokey) and the other will run if you look at her wrong, and then later will come up to you, rub on your legs and "squawk" at you for no apparent reason.

I'd love to someday get another dog (preferrably black or yellow lab), but with being in an apartment, I don't really think it would be fair to have another big dog that would have to be couped up all day while I'm at work.

[SoonerBent]

A black standard poodle named Sable - she's 18+ and is in good shape for her age but can't last too much longer as she's already 2 or more years older than their expected life span. I will be very sad when the day comes. She's my baby.

A mini schauzer named Suzi - a complete nut case, cute as anything.

Two cats named Harley and Willie - they're both about 1 1/2 years old and can be a complete terror when they want to. But they're absolutely adorable most of the time.

One dog named Scout. She has some Labrador and shepherd in her. She is a little over 3 years old, and we adopted her from PetsMart when she was a puppy. She has been an excellent dog. Not only is she great with the kids, but she is also a good watch dog.

[aintaokie]

We have 4 pets (the varmits), a large weiner dog named doppy and a miniature weiner dog named suzzy. We have two cats, Reises (she is brown and black like the peanut butter cups) and she is almost 18 yrs old. The other is Twinkles who is a grouchy, fatassed old calico cat who hisses at everyone and is easily annoyed. I have lot's of fun tormenting her. She has lot's of fun scratching me up.

[CMSturgeon]

Keith, that is so cool that you adopted a dog. You saved a life.

[Intrepid]

I forgot to mention that Charlie was adopted from PetSmart, and my two cats came from Pets and People in Yukon.

Katie was also rescued when she was found hanging around my ex's office in Norman.

It is so nice to see so many members on this forum adopting animals. That's what it is all about.

[PUGalicious]

I agree. Two out of our three were adopted.

BTW, Keith, gorgeous dog!

[Lauri101]

4 cats, all rescued from the street:

Shannon, age 15, appears to be Russian Blue, spayed female

Rufus, age unknown, yellow tabby, still a Tom and all boy

Callie, Norwegian Forest Cat(aka - a Wegie), age 7, spayed female

Prissy, age 6, daughter of Callie, spayed female, Wegie/short-hair combo, spayed female

Shannon is 100% indoor, the rest keep us busy as door-openers. Rufus says "out" very distinctly!

We also seem to feed anywhere from 5-7 other feral cats. I think this house has a reputation as a good place to get a free cat-meal

[JIMBO]

Two male border collie- lab mixed named Gizmo and Stripe. Also two very unsocial parakeets named Bud and Lou

[otis]

one black male pug (otis)

Three cockatiles
Sammy, boy 12 or 13 yrs old rescue bird
Polly, female 4 yrs old
Alex, female 4 yrs old

One dog (Kaytee) a Lhasa - Shitzu mix (yes, a lhasa-shitz)
The cat (Mr Boo Boo) was the barn cat until my beloved bride was told if we feed him he would be less likely to decimate the local bird population. He has porch priviliges but is not allowed inside.

ROFLMAO!!!

Molly the Wonder Dog was adopted from the Edmond Shelter as well. She's half Jack Russell terrier and half Chihuahua. On a previous thread you helped decide to call the breed "Chirrier". I have some other names.

[Angelicfly]

I have One chihuahua that believes he's royalty (or I should say he owns me). I didn't get him from a shelter but I will say that all of the other dogs in his litter went to awful homes and they're all deceased. Its sad and if we had known we would have found suitable homes for them.

His name is Midnite but it was almost Snickers bc he's the colors of a snicker's bar, lol. His brother (that belongs to my brother) from a litter two years later is Bear and he was almost named sugar cookie bc he's that color. Talk about horrible pet names. Now I think I would have rather named my dog Steve and my brother's dog Frank, they think they're people anyways.

I have a black male pug, Corky, also known as Porky, and occasionally, Pest. He is about 7 y/o. He's starting to show his age, getting a little gray hair, sleeping a lot more, his joints seem to be a little stiff in the mornings, and he's putting on a little weight. Of course, that description could also apply to his owner. We love him dearly, although he is always into something, especially the trash can. I love the quote about pugs in the post above, it's so true. Pugs are so loving, and you just have to laugh when you look at one.
