The Pet Thread

[Tex]

Howdy, everybody!

I'm one of those people that enjoys having a pup around the house, and I've noticed a severe lack of pet picture sharing threads here. I figure the time is right for a new one. Feel free to post pictures of your pets, big and small, and few or many.

Say hello to Tank:

He's a brindle Boxer, I believe 6 years old, and tough enough to be a good wrestling partner. He loves meeting new people, taking up all the room on my bed, and wiping his face all over your leg right after he takes a big drink of water.

This is Eli, named after the legendary actor Eli Wallach.

He's 10 years old this month, and the biggest cat I've ever met, tipping the scales at nearly 8.5kg. Whenever I'm somewhere and see another cat, I have to remind myself that they're not tiny, I just share a house with a mammoth. But he's also incredibly timid. I know somebody's about to knock on the door because he's dashed out to the bedroom to to hide under my bed.

For some reason, he really really likes sleeping on pizza boxes. I keep a few old boxes around for him, much to the consternation of... pretty much anybody who visits.

I think that last photo is one of the very rare times I actually saw a cat smile.

Look at 'em.

Look at how content he is.

I know right. They're frequently happy, but it's hard to catch them being as open about it as your average dog.

Speaking of dogs....

Here's mine. You might notice he looks similar to my avatar. That's intentional, though they're not the same dog.

Spoiler

(That's my neighbor in the background.)

He's 9 years old this month, and it's hard to believe. I remember the night we got him, my brother said, "All my dreams have come true!"

Becuase I am nice, here's a second one.

Spoiler

He's older now, but sometimes he'll still act like a puppy and go sprinting around whoever is walking him.

I have two guinea pigs, both quite old now (nearing 4 yrs). One of them is my sisters.

This one is mine

I gave asylum to this little stray killer machine. After a few months roaming around the house we went to cure the parasites and now it apparently is quite relaxed ... Only sometimes i have to clean after it, mainly partly devoured lizards that lost the ability to escape after gears were chewed off or mice that escaped between the furniture. Dead mice deposited in front of the bedroom door are meant to be presents and the cat deserves a commendation.

Hair on the keyboards is a very minor problem.

This is my sisters potato. It doesn't mind a hat.

I have a cat, but my most important pets are these billions and trillions of cells, bacteria, parasites, bugs, mites, et cetera.
