Poor little site is kind of inactive. -pets- So I'm gonna post to keep it more active! 'Cause I'm Member of the Month (Yeah!) and I can do that. Thank you all for voting for me! XD Wait... well, even without the voting, thanks!
But this post is really about pets! What kind of pets do you have, or wish you had? What quirky things do your pets do?
I have two dogs, a black lab, and a bichon/squirrel mix. Yes, she is part squirrel, because she's nuts. She ran head long into a tree once and bounced off, and she won't eat dog food, potato chips, or popcorn. She's also very unsocial, but she loves my black lab, even though the lab acts as if she totally didn't exist. Her name's Puffy. I call her Fluffer Nuffer ('cause she looks like Fluffer Nutter) or Puffster, or Puffers.
My lab, Kasey, is a total people person, er - I mean, dog. She loves everyone, loves food, loves to play, total attention hog. She thinks she runs the house, and she kind of does in a way. Yeah, they are total opposites, in every way. Puff's small and white, with curly hair, Kase is on the big side of labs, black with gorgeous waterproof fur. Puffy we found on our doorstep, she'd been living on the street and we think she was abused or in an abusive household, as she's got some trauma or something. She freaks out at loud noises, she's scared of most men, and she has this separation anxiety, I think. Kasey, on the other hand, purebred, from a nice, responsible breeder, we met her parents and spent months researching before we picked her. She is the most awesome dog ever. She's absolutely brilliant, we had her trained within the year (unlike Puffy who we gave up on after like 4 years, sometimes she'll sit on command if you bribe her with cheese).
I make it sound like Puffy is horrible, and Kasey is an angel, but Kasey's a total mischief-maker. She scavenges for food, and she'll get into the garbage. And she totally blames Puffy when it's so obviously her: 'Ooh Puffy did something. I was sitting, being a good dog, and Puffy got in the garbage and made a mess. Oooh.' And sometimes she uses Puffy as her accomplice. Like, Puffy jumps up on the dining room table, takes the food and throws it down to Kasey.
Kasey's eating is just crazy. She ate rat poison as a puppy, broken glass (well, she didn't swallow the broken glass, but her mouth got pretty cut up) about a pound of Halloween candy, with wrappers, a whole plate of hamburgers at a family barbecue, coins, used tissues, a box of cocoa powder, paper plates, an entire turkey neck - and despite my panicking, she never had to go to the vet or anything. She's got a stomach like steel.
Yep, there you go, my crazy dogs. I really want to get a cat, or a pot-bellied pig. Or a goat or a donkey! Man, it'd be great if I lived on a farm. Long post, but c'mon everyone likes to talk ears off about their pets!

She was chasing a squirrel, the squirrel ran up the fence, and there was a tree right there, and without slowing or anything, BAM, she hit the tree, literally bounced off it, and kept running. It was so funny, I was on the floor laughing. As for Kasey, she ate something once, presumably a bumblebee and had an allergic reaction. Her face swelled up like a balloon. At the time we were very worried, but it was so funny looking! This poor dog was just all puffed up! It's funny looking back on it.
