Wanted: more pics of Carmain's dog. Or any pugs, ever. Why is there no Pets thread??

As our godly moderator has asked, a thread for our wonderful pets!

Lets start with my demonic terror:

Next we'll visit the soul sucking demon:

and finally, (watch your step) as here is the rock enchanted to trip people

I found Noodle ^ had tucked herself into my step-daughter's bed one day.

And this is a picture of my best little man. His name was Link. He passed and I miss him the most of all my pets. He was a real snuggler.
He ran and jumped off the walls a lot. One day he ran and leaped under my husband's foot mid-stride. Broke his little hand.
It was the saddest day.... until the vet brought him back with his tiniest, blue chinchilla cast!

Bluef

Princess - Albino cutie that's half the size of the other kitties. Don't let that sweet face fool you though. She's only cuddly after dark (maybe a bit light sensitive?). 

"Rocky"  - Shamrock, actually. When she was little she destroyed all my four-leaf clover plants. You don't want to know how.

"Muffin" - This "feed me now" look is pretty much his standard go-to face. 

See, here it is again. Maybe we should have named him Estach. Older Achaeans will get this joke.

Here you go, a picture of my hamster when I was feeding her an apple flavored treat!

My grandmother's cat, Harley. Plus filters...

Piper, yorkie-bichon mix, and her choice of sleeping places. Yes, two feet from the dog bed.

My pup is back, trying to be innocent

I am not a dog person, but that one looks terribly adorable

Kyrra

My baby girl. Her mother was shot by hunters and it was odd that the pups were with the mother instead of in a den. She was the only female in the litter and I hand raised her. There's not many pure bred dingoes left in the wild anymore, many of them are cross species with camp dogs and mutts. It results in dogs with their colouring but asshole temperments.

Gabiella, an arab-quarter cross. My father broke her in from the wild on a cattle station near Borroloola in the Northern Territory. Parelli trained.

The first dogs we had after moving to the NT. Cocoa and Duchess. They were blue cattle dog - rottweiler cross. Absolutely lovely. Unfortunately we were dog sitting a handsome Dobermann a few years ago and he was a gentleman about knocking up Duchess. We never realised she was pregnant she was treated for ticks.. all of her litter but two pups were deformed and/or stillborn. She eventually went insane and had to be put down

Meena is one of Duchess's pups. She's not all there in the head and she's only got two nipples, poor girl. She's still alive though and going on about fifteen years now.

Pip was the second pup of Duchess. Her colouring and build was closer to that of a rottweiler but she is the most gentle creature I've ever known. Like Duchess, she had a talent for herding baby animals and used to watch over all our chickens, turkeys, and peacocks. She was absolutely terrified of any loud noises, and spent almost every Cracker Night hiding in my room, under my bed.

Dusty, an Australian Blue Cattle Dog. He comes from a line of champion quality show and work dogs, but he was born with two black spots on his back. Anyone familiar with showmanship will understand why these are a deformity. He's exceptionally bright but likes to believe that he's a bratty four year old. I call him my furry boy child.

My little man, Gidget. He a living example of why a baby anything should remain with the mother until at least eight weeks of age before being separated. He doesn't fully understand what proper behaviour is, he's not able to eat properly and laps up his food - even the dry biscuits. He's incredibly intelligent in all other aspects, and very curious about everything despite being deathly afraid of most things. I do wish he was more affectionate and would let me cuddle him!

Kyrra

Love my peacocks. Around the time this was taken, we had about fifty-ish running around.

Our turkeys. At one stage, we lost almost all of them to some camp dogs that live somewhere behind our block. I learned the value of a barbed wire noose (something that serpents should give a try!). We only had a single male and female left around this time last year, and now there's about fifteen running around again.

Some of our hens. That rooster is an asshole. We called him the Baron. We used to have a beautiful large Leghorn rooster named Duke but I think a snake got him. Most of our hens are Rhode Island Reds, but we occasional get the odd Bantam coming in from god knows where. I don't think we've had to buy eggs for about fifteen years, and since we eliminated all the males Amazon style, we no longer have to worry about surprises when cracking eggs open >.>

Another of the peacocks. We used to have such an awesome irrigation system, but due to "helpful" neighbours slashing our block when we first moved in, they slashed up all the piping along with the long grass. The birds like perching on what's left of it.

One of my furry minions. This is Nova. I think I was feeding about twelve possums at one stage.

This is Rocky, such named because it looked like he has three um.. rocks. As you can see, possums tend to pee everywhere.

Not a very good photo, but this is my beloved Star. She was the very first to turn up one day for food and I think that she either used to be someone's pet or she was hand-reared at some stage. She was incredibly friendly and used to human contact. She only had one eye.

I really hate cleaning day. Washing those bricks down really sucks These three ladies have incredibly blessed genetics and are some of the prettiest possums that I've ever seen. The one in the middle is Lady and she's the mother of the other two. The one to the right is Little Lady and was the first baby that she had. I never ended up naming the one of the left, and she never really stuck around. Lady was originally named so, because when she first turned up, she was with a male that was twice the size of Rocky, hell he was almost bigger than my cat. He looked like a real brute but he was the most lovely red colouring with black markings on his face. I only ever saw him the one time but Lady and the Tramp was pretty fitting for that pair.

First and last fish I've ever had! Ryuu was a betta and I think he was over a year old when I bought him, because he died after six months. I never worked out why because I was meticulous in cleaning his tank, he always got fed etc. I think he was just old and died from old age. I can spend hours watching these guys swim around.

Because fish rot and die. That's what they -do-. There's a hysterical rant posted somewhere by me on that very topic.

So, last november I adopted Sushi.

They grow sooo fast...

Ooooh, I can join in on this one! My beloved daemon:

Oh, those eyes.

Jiraishin

My dog. She's gotten old-- almost all of the white on her head used to be black, and the ginger used to be much brighter.

I have a Cairnoodle (Cairn Terrier and Poodle mix). Looks kind of like your doggy. Will post picture eventually.

@Gaia Your daemon has made me dream about 50+ black mice and two battered black cats, pretending not to notice the presence of the pests....

My landlord doesn't allow pets, so here's a pic of my sisters labrador:

Soulfyriani

First is the murderous cat, the second two stray hound pups that adopted my porch and the third is a photo @Fen had done professionally I figured he would want to share.

Yeah our other dog is a Cairn-Lhasa mix. Cairns are the best.

Kyrra

Every morning I wake up to this. If my foot so much as twitches and disturbs him, I get clawed through my blanket. :x

Saidie

Xander's favorite movie is Lady and the Tramp.

He also just likes to pose pretty...

And...seems to love Beer...I can't leave a bottle anywhere in the house or he finds it.


**Disclaimer: I got rid of that ugly orange couch earlier this year!**

My good buddy Ziva. I wouldn't be alive without her.

@Haldon nice dog, what breed is that?

@Tarkanian she's a Great Pyrenees.

I'm still reeling from having to put both my dogs down last year. They were from the same litter, and had them for over 16 wonderful years. Honestly not sure I want to get anymore after them.

It's not all bad though, my brother went and picked up a beagle about six months later and I do love the little rascal.

Visited my dad before Easter, my sister's grey labrador Sky was there too. Used her as a footrest while out on the balcony.

Chino McBride when we went to go pick him up.

At about 5 months.

Few more, both around 12-13 months.  Best dog ever.

Awww, @Halo. Chino has grown up to be such a handsome dog!
