Herbie (dachshund, 14-1/2) passed away last September. So, we don't talk much these days....
However, when he was around, he knew lots and lots of words. He was also smart enough to know front door or back door when I would ask if he wanted to go outside. I finally figured out the determination was made based on whether I had keys in my hand or not.

Two dogs, male litter mates, found abandoned down at the barn one morning in Joelton, Tennessee. About six weeks old and cute as buttons. Me, "Hunny, can we keep 'em?"

Parrots commonly pick one person in their household to be their enemy. They seem to need some drama in their lives. You have picked everyone in this group to be your enemy.

Like parrots, he needs *someone* to talk to (at?).
And, also like parrots, usually doesn't say much worth listening to.
She might have been purebred with papers, but she was a fun loving dog. In spite of health problems she was usually active and loved to play. The rest of the time she would lay at your feet, or sit on the porch and enjoy the warm Florida sun.

This group needs a 'big' barn cat to keep the trolls down. ;-)

I have two dogs. Yes I do, I say all the things to my dogs that I wish I could say to my kids like
"Hey, move your big butt out of my way" I tell the kids to not defend the dogs because if the dogs don't get the abuse then the kids will. My oldest doghas been with us for about 7 years. He is about 12 years old and every six months we think he is going to die. But his former life sucked so bad we joke that he is never going to let go of his life with us. Just a few weeks ago his eyes were throbbing in and out and he lost all his coordination. I thought for sure we were going to be putting him down, but he came through like he always does to eat more lunch meat and steak trimmings.

Two cats, Louis (Main Coon, black and white, and dumber than a rock) and Thunder (all black American patio cat, SWMBO's familiar). Would have a dog, but cats can be left for a weekend without problems.

As opposed to a stupid bastard like you, that never says anything worth anything, much less worth listening to.

Nice shot. Got that evil-eye flash look going on too. I love it! Shiz-zoos (I don't know how to spell it) are great dogs, but I hear their teeth fall out...(?)
I've got the new dachshund's name picked out: "Harley". Runners-up were: Cornbread, Lugnut, and Dexter.
I have some travel coming up, so I must wait until I return. Going to get another black-and-tan (maybe black-and-cream) short hair, male of course. Doesn't have to be pedigree. Herbie was pedigree and it all went to his head...!!

I like animals. I've had cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, doves and other birds, etc., and my wife has a pig (in addition to me :)). But most of all, I love dogs. I have two of them now and we talk a lot. One is 9 years, named 'Buizova' after a famous poet of my tribe. The other was a ngihbour's but he decided to move in permanently with us 3.5 years ago. My daughter named him 'Archie' after the comic book character.
My nym here {Pimpom) is the name of one of my favourites who adopted us 8 years ago. He was apparently separated from his owners (he had a nice collar). I named him after a lollipop that was popular at the time. When I lost him after 3 years, there was some evidence that he was stolen by dog meat eaters (yuck). My other favourite was Pimpom's grandson, named P.J. for "Pimpom Junior". He died of cancer at the age of 4.
I talk to him almost as I would with a human, and he communicates using his own body language.
When I first acquired him as a rescue, I also had a cat named Photon, who had been with me since the year 2000 when I got her and her brother "Meson". She ran him off one night, and again a bit later. Unfortunately she was mostly an outdoor cat and she was hit by a car on October 23, 2006.
In 2007 I had another rescued dog, Lucky, and she was incredibly sweet, especially considering she was a probable Rottie/PBT mix and found undernourished and full of ticks in her matted fur, and she had probably been abused. I had to keep her and Muttley separated most of the time, and I rehomed her through a local rescue.
