soupskin and I have two dogs, one tuxedo cat, a rat and various fish.
Dogs are Rogue the St Bernard/Aussie shepherd (who is responsible for 96% of the hair in the carpet) and Nzinga the black hound-ish mutt (who is getting rather old and barks and nothing whenever Lil Miss decides to take a nap).

The cat was one of a sibling pair but his litter mate, Cindy, died young due to neurological problems. His name is Shadow and he's a love-whore. He is responsible for about 3% of the hair in the carpet.

The rat was a gift/rescue of a pair from a friend whose husband decided he was allergic to rats. The two were Rogue and Nova but Nova died recently. Rats don't live very long so believe me, it wasn't anything we did as the boys were middle age when we got them. Rogue-the-rat isn't responsible for any hair in the carpet because he has a townhouse cage to catch any hair he doesn't clean himself.

I think my favorite pet so far was the rock lobster we had named Kompressor - an industrial underground internet phenomenon. He used to pile the pebbles in the tank in the middle and stand on the mountain waving his claws about like the king he was. We would then say Kompressor was dancing. Even though we knew "Kompressor does not dance"

Mmmm.... Kind of like a Brandy White Russian. White St. Bernard anyone?

drattus, are you saying any breed can be made as aggressive and therefore APBT areno more dangerous than, say, labradors or St. Bernards?

I saw this at a movie theater in St. Bernard (east of New Orleans), the summer of 2005. The theater flooded as did that whole area . . . hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
