re: What is your current pet situation?

while technically not pets we feed the anoles that hang around the porch and garage mealworms. They eat out of the kids’ hands

when my kids were small we went to visit their grandparents in Monroe and my son caught about 15 anoles and brought them home. We put them in a big habitat and they lasted quite awhile. Always fun to dump a bag of love crickets in and watch them go crazy.

Used to have one, my son’s, and used to put him on the patio to get sun until he got out, it didn’t end well. Had to have that circle of life discussions.

I'll take him outside with me and put him in the cover patch so he can chow down but he's aware of everything. I took him out the other day and he cocked his head with his eye pointing straight up. I finally looked up and there was a hawk or some other large bird waaaaaaaaaaay up in the sky circling around.

The term head-on-a-swivel came to mind. He didn't miss that potential threat.

15 year old chihuahua who is my baby!

3 year old chihuahua rescue mix who is the sweetest, loyalest girl ever, but she's crazy like me, so we get along great.

Down to only 1 Chocolate Lab, he turns 5 today. Had to put down the old one a few months back and planning to get another pup soon. I usually have at least 2.

I have 3 dogs, 1 cat and 2 of my kids each have 1 cat. Middle kid has a bearded dragon and youngest kid has a snake.

3 year old golden retriever. Sweet dog and excellent with the kids. But I’m not much of a pet person. I like animals, just don’t want em in the house.

We have 3 dogs and a cat. We are like the home of old arse animals.

Our mutt who is 14 just had a stroke about 10 days ago. Did an MRI and found out she has a tumor also. Vet said this is a rare occurrence with like a couple of dozen dogs having this combo in the last 10 years. Anyway, she is doing better. Just moving and thinking slow. We shall see.

Also have an 11 year yellow lab and her 8 year old sister (from another litter obviously). Both great dogs that we adopted after both their owners died.

Finally we have a 20 year old cat. She looks like something out of the Pet Sematary movie. We did a senior blood panel in April and they said her liver function had improved. She has outlived four dogs in our house. Pretty much sleeps and eats her way through the days.

1 cat that diabetic gets an insulin shot twice a day.

Three cats that I grew up with that live my parents. One of which is a big orange tabby with quite the personality.

My gf and I's cat passed away very recently due to severe GI bleeds. Vets had some theories but didn't know for sure why.

My original Aussie died a month ago. Best dog I ever had - smart, protective and well-trained.

So, I have two dogs - a young, very athletic but somewhat ditzy Aussie (but she will stand up to a coyote or two) and a pit that someone dumped off at my house. I didn't want a pit, but when someone came to get her, she wouldn't go. She's a good dog who does well with the cows. She also has 100% recall no matter where she is.

Three turdcats, two barn and one in the house. The one in the house was pulled as a tiny kitten from the wheel well of my car during a huge storm. I was at the office with my old Aussie and she reacted to the kitten as I was putting her in the car. I took the kitten home in a box. In the morning, I looked in the box - no kitten. My old Aussie was a notorious cat killer. I assume the worst. I went over and saw that the kitten was happily sleeping on the Aussie's head. They were best friends.
