I was going to make some witty response. But in retrospect, I totally believe in your decision. A person needs someone or something to confide in, or we face all our fears alone, and alone is the worst possible state to be in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I love the colors. That would be a beautiful two-tone color scheme for a prewar antique car. Something sexy, but still stately. Maybe a 1936 Auburn 852 SC. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holyjohnson Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Dogs, Cats, Fish and at least one Yellow Canary. i had Dogs all my life, Cats were around when i was a Kid but no one really owns a cat. i Love Animals and Prefer Animals to people in most every case. Hell i even prefer other People`s Animals to their owners in most cases. i think about them all a lot. when i was a kid Crime was out of control and we had a Trained German Shepherd that we really depended on for Security, i dont remember how many times she`d get up and check a sound and just lay and wait. i do remember the times she scared people away. from the Staffie that babysat me and kept me from venturing up or down the stairs by holding me by the Diaper to the Pittie sitting next to me now looking over my shoulder and wagging his tail, i remember them all. i Miss them all too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Had squirrels and chipmunks in a huge old display case. Dad brought home a bunch of baby flying squirrels that were in a tree he fell. They are nocturnal so most people haven't seen one. I've always had dogs. My current one tracks moose for me when bow hunting, carries a pack, pulls a sled, rides in anything I can get her in including kayaks. The one before her, a Lab GSD mix weighed 125 pounds, never wore a collar or was confined. Lived outdoors here in Alaska but could come into the garage through a doggy door. He roared like a Lion. Only went to a vet twice in his 17 years, the 2nd time being when he was put to sleep. I'll always have a dog. And my dogs are always the best. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) We have had owls on many occasions that were likely hit by cars or plowed into a power line. They need hair in their diet, so we would use the family cat as a donor to add fur to the hamburger we fed them Had a raccoon, a Redtail Hawk. wild Pigeons (those were fun to catch at night walking trestles over the log pond carrying a flashlight and gunny sack) Plus the menagerie of chickens, ducks, rabbits, goats, and such. My cousin had a deer. It rode in the log truck with him. My best friend had 2 coyote pups he rescued on a logging job.

railfancwb Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 When in my early teens I had a five gallon aquarium with guppies and plants. All did very well. Much better than I was ever able to do with a larger tank. Read that tropical fish appreciate some live food in their diet. Harvested a small net full of mosquito larvae from a nearby puddle and put them in the aquarium. The guppies ate maybe 80% of them. The rest matured and flew into the house, leading to a lecture with repeated excited expressions to the effect of “And don’t you EVER do that again!” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad came into the room for something, started to speak, and then looks around, "What's that smell?" Me, "Oh, that must be Oscar." Dad, "Who's Oscar?" Me, "Dan's pet raccoon." Yeah, Oscar got moved to an outdoor cage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crockett Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) My "pets" hate being outside and come running inside every ******* time you open a door.

That’s a bunch of fat trash pandas. The home owner has instituted his extermination of the trash pandas by giving them diabeetus and the big “C”.
