Pets and Animals

[Wyvernwings]

Hm... No matter what we do we can't get our animals to stop chewing socks to pieces, or swallowing the hole. Never clean socks though, always dirty, right out of the cloths basket.

EW.

[Wyvernwings]

Haha I know, but he's a dog so I'm guessing it's not the worst thing he's had in his mouth.

Yes we used to have minnows a few years ago. The suckers lived like a year and then we got tired of them so my husband used them for what he bought them for, bait. They were huge by that time though.


Oh and I forgot, someone mentioned having betas. I had a beta that I named Angel once and I had to leave it at my folks house when I went off to college. So they just put it in my brother's fish tank. Wrong thing to do. It ate every fish he had in the tank and at least a dozen or so he got after that. He finally got a baby shark and put it in there. That was the end of Angel, the killer beta.

*snickers* I love that sentence...."That was the end of Angel, the killer beta." That's so funny, M. The betas we've had usaully did fine with other fish; we just wouldn't put male betas TOGETHER...but yes, the food chain does work that way. xD

Ri, you forgot Cue (or was it spelt Q?).

Anyways, I'll start with pets I currently have...


ChuChu! ChuChu's real name is Riachu (or Rychu, if you ask my mom who can't spell), he was named after the Pokemon by the same name. A cat I used to have had kittens and there were two yellow/orange and white tabbies in the litter, my mom being on a Pokemon kick (yes, my mom, not my brother or I) named them both Pikachu, but I changed his name to Riachu. He's somewhere between 7 and 9 years old (I can't remember whether he was born in October of '97 or '99). He's the sweetest, most loveable cat I've ever met, however he's also the fattest cat I've ever seen in person (he's bigger than Em's Sis). ChuChu, as far as we know, is part mancoon, persian, and something else, but we really don't know.

Next we have:

Neko! Neko's full name is Koneko-chan (pronounced properly in Japanese) but her nick name is pronounced Niko. She's my baby (those are my shoes she's sleeping on). She's a rescue. I used to live in a Trailer Park that was full of stray cats (including the Persian/Mancoon that fathered ChuChu). During the last year I lived there Animal Control started to do their job and pick up the cats, well this one cat had a litter under a trailer and then the pound picked up moher kitty, but didn't realize the kittens were there. Realizing the kittens were there myself a few of the kids from down the street began trying to get the kittens out. One came out on it's own, another we lured out with a bowl of milk, another we crawled under the trailer and nabbed easily, the fourth, Neko, hid under inside a bag full of metal objects under the trailer, I being the compasionate and brave person I am reached in and pulled her out, she was mine from then on, except for the two weeks some neighbors of ours raised them to the age that they could be on their own. When I took her home for the first time she could fit in the palm of my hand. She's a calico and I believe she's part Seimeis (or however it's spelt).

Other cats and animals we had:

• Patches -- ChuChu's mother, a calico who went insane and ran away the day before we moved in CA.
  
• Big Red -- A HUGE indoor/mostly outdoor tabby that I think (now that I put my mind to it) may have been bigger than ChuChu. He wasn't really ours, but we shared him with a neighbor of ours. He was another really sweet cat. My mother wanted Patches to have kittens with him as their father.
  
• Pikachu -- ChuChu's twin sister who we gave to another neighbor of ours.
  
• Haloween Surprise -- an insane kitten from the same litter as ChuChu and Pikachu. We think it may have been a male calico, but we took it to the pound as it ate cat litter and pooed in the cat food.
  
• Patches Jr. -- She looked like a carbon copy of her mom. We gave her to some neighbors who had a small child who, unfortunately, killed her.
  
• Tuxedo -- The fifth of the litter, a black/grey and white tabby that we gave to another set of neighbors, I don't know what happened to him.
  
• Goldy -- A really dumb mutt that I think was at least part Boxer. She was a stupid dog...she was at least as tall as my waist and tried to have s*x with a Chiuawa (or however those small yippee dogs that I really don't like are spelt). She was my brother's dog and I always thought the name sounded like a name for a goldfish. She was another rescue. My step-dad found her on the side of the highway and brought her home.
  
• Ragdoll -- a Russian Blue and Ragdoll mix cat (I think those were the breeds, he was at least a Russian Blue). He acked like a Ragdoll, I never saw a cat more boneless than him. He liked to "milk" a person.
  
• Simba -- a grey tabby minx who bunny hopped. We believe my grandmother might have taken it to the pound because she thought we didn't have the resources to take care of a cat at the time (we don't leave our animals home alone with her when one of the cars are in the garage, we're afraid of coming home and not having Neko or ChuChu).
  
• Harge -- a guinea pig that died of heat stroke when my grandmother didn't have air conditioning and the summer was sporting record temperatures.
  
• Snapper -- a turtle that we think may have been part Box Turtle and part Snapper Turtle. It ran away when we let it play in the garden while cleaning out it's cage. We rescued him from the middle of the road on our way home.
  
• Snooper -- a dog my mom had. She loved this dog. He had epilespy from eating chocolate. She tells me stories about him all the time, including one in which he saved the family from a nest of hornets.
  

We've also had a purebred Yorkie Terrier that was stolen, another tabby that had kittens, a black cat that liked to sleep in the Attic of my doll house, a few strays, a seismese that we believe was Neko's father (he was actually the neighbors' across the street from my grandmother's, but always came into her house), my mom had a guinea pig that lived to be 16 years old, and one of the girls that I'm sharing living space with this semester has goldfish.

Animals I wish I had:

Ferret, Black Rat Snake, a beta (I might get one of these next semester), python, boa constrictor

Animals that I wish I had (if they were real):

Basilisk (there is a real basilisk, which is a type of lizard, but I'm talking about the mythical king of serpents whose gaze is deadly)

Animals that I would like to have if I could conceivably have them (and they weren't illegal to have):

Panda, leopard, tiger, cheetah, lynx, lymer (only because an animal that for some strange reason commits mass suicide intrigues me, but I don't think I spelt it's name right)

[Lady Mage]

Oo, I think I'd like a basilisk. A dragon would be awesome too. ;D
