OT: The Subsim Pet Thread

Miketney · 07-19-18, 06:22 AM

Hi, fellas! I thought of creating this new thread where we can light-heartedly discuss about the little furries in our lives, none other than our household pets. I own a ferret named Ozzy. Yup, it’s a weird pet to own, but I’m always fascinated by this type of critter. He’s a fun-loving bundle of joy, usually, plays and hangs out in his comfortable big ferret cage, munch on cooked eggs , and even cuddles with my wife while she watches TV. I hope to own one more someday, but for now, it’s just Ozzy and me for more fun-filled antics. What are your pet/s, guys?

This is the Buna household family pet, Louie, a Lhasa Apso.

Below is him on his first day of arrival at eight weeks old and below that, almost five years old (July 22nd).

This is in order from left to right: Sprinkles, Wendy and Dash.

Wendy is 15 years old and blind. She is a rescue from the Senior Dog Sanctuary. Love that little bugger!

I take care of this loveable A-hole every now and then.

Apologies for the long post but in our household we do have a few pets

Most adopted or rescued from the streets

Dogs:

Tango - German Shepherd / Husky mix, got him when he was 1 year old from the previous owner who was not able to hold him in his small appartment and this boy needs his space to run about.

Happy Face

Toby - Rescue, dumped as a pup found by animal rescue hiding under a car with her sister who got adopted by someone else.

Cats:

Mouski - This one we got as a kitten from a teacher whos cat gave birth to a bundle of joy she's hitting the 18th yr old mark

Cinca - This one I found on the street as a kitten dumped, since it was night and she's all black I just passed her and it was our previous German Shepherd who basically stopped moving and stuck his nose against the small furball.

Aiko - my younger brother picked up this one. Picked her up at his GF place where they didn't like cats in the house so got constantly tossed outdoor nor did they spay the mom where this one is from.

Luna (Big red ginger), Carlo (small Ginger/white) Mona (black/Brown/Greyish) - Speaking of spaying/neutering your pets, I detest people for outlandishly refuse to do so if they don't plan to get kittens or pups. Nope they just dump the pregnant cat or dog or after it has given birth the whole nest

instead of paying for the small price to get the animal spayed or neutered. Anyway Luna we spotted her on the street with 5 small ones, we quickly found out she isn't a feral cat, the younglins where a bit more wild except one which we could touch the others don't get very close. anyway one became roadkill and we noticed Luna got knocked up again...this is where me and my parents decided to take her in and give birth in our house of 6! new kittens and we managed to find good homes for 4 of them and got stuck with these two Mona and Carlo. We neutered Luna and managed to captured the 2 females of her first nest and neutered those as well to avoid the population in our neigbourhood to grow even bigger. Those 2 females and 2 brothers stay close to our house for obvious reasons that their bowls of water and food are getting refilled daily

In this particular case, he hadn't seen mom (her cat) for a couple of days so I got the honor of being his human scratching machine (lying on my lap). Not that I mind, he purrs like a truck.

When traveling with a dog in the car it is important to be safe. Having a dog, small or large, loose in the car can be distracting and dangerous for everyone. Dogs should be restrained while in the car but we want to make sure they are comfortable as well. I got her this dog car seat so that she will be safer while we travel.

Sure Johndee, there's lots of kind hearted people here with companion animals.

There's even a thread somewhere. How about you? Are you in Japan? Do you have pets?

I like Bunnies.

Reece · 09-25-18, 01:53 AM

Hi John, I'm a cat lover and only a half hour ago found him with a Brown Snake, I killed the snake and now the waiting game to see if he got bitten, this would be the third time, the vet said it would be his last!!

Eichhörnchen · 09-25-18, 01:57 AM

I love cats too, but we don't have any more since the others died.

I expect that your nice thread will shortly get merged with this one by admin, Johndee, since they are the same topic:
