Most of you guys know about Sam already. ---->
I picked him to represent me online because there's not a care in his head at all except someone paying him attention and holding him when a thunderstorm comes.

Nothing makes him happier than nudging you, smelling your crotch and getting drool on your breeches while being rewarded with a biscuit. I love that sort of empty headed fun loving innocence. And look at him... he's goofy lookin!

I also have two other dogs, a Jack Russell named Frodo and my heart, a spaniel mix named Nami.

I have various pics about...I think they're all represented on my blog somewhere.

I have none. I used to have weird pets: Hermit crabs, crayfish, fish, ants, praying mantis, silk worms -> moths, tadpole -> frog, etc.

====>> Here's me and my pet, Panthara. We got voted "Most Muscular Whilst Maintaining a Pure Vegan Diet" by Scrawwww! monthly. We're traveling with the new Piccadilly Circus and should be in a town near you any day now!

My last pets were 2 rats, Sifl and Olly. This is a picture of one of them (Olly, I think). I now live with 3 cats, but they're not mine.

my cupcake has been replaced by Tut, the best cat ever (don't worry, I know that appellation is user-specific). Tut rode shotgun in the car, walked on a leash, fetched, and opened the meat compartment of my 'fridge as easily as I did. He's why there are child safety locks on all my cupboards.

His name is Patrick, my AKC Beagle. Funnest thing on 4 legs. Ive been asked by complete strangers to breed him, so evidently hes what a Beagle is supposed to be. Not that he knows the difference. Loves to plant his nose into the ground and suck up whatever scent is there.

This is Miss Isobel, aka: Issy, or maybe I should say Queen Isobel? She is my strikingly beautiful girl, and she'll be 4 yrs old this October. I also have a new plucky little kitten (about 10 wks old) named Dr. Franklin Timothy, or Frankie for short. You can see what he looks like in my blog. Both of them had pretty rough starts, and they were both rescued from certain death. Issy fell very ill with a severe kitty flu at about 8 weeks old, the day after I brought her home. I had to nurse her back to health by having her rehydrated at the vet's and giving her antibiotics and eyedrops. She is just the picture of health now, and she is so supercool and smart, opening doors, and fetching and bringing things to me all the time. She and I have an extra special bond, and she enjoys talking to me.

Frankie is really starting to settle in, and he is still very young. If you check out my blog, you can read about his raccoon attack when he was only 6 weeks old. He's already more than doubled in weight since we had him at 7 wks old. He just got his first set of vaccinations, and he went from previously weighing just one pound to 2&1/2. His leg has healed nicely, and he's gaining strength in it everyday. He's only recently just started to climb, and we have a rad cat tower for him to play in. He has a wonderfully loud purr, and he loves Issy and thinks she is soooo cool. DFT and I are lucky ones to have the both of them as they are endless joy and amusement.

I frolic with a litter of kittens.

I have a cat, Matilda, and she has a pet mouse, Dot.
I'm totally new to this site, and I think I must be feeble minded because I can't work it out...
Can I post a video I have made? or is that self promoting... It is a video of my cat and mouse.
Can I embed from a youtube link, or should I convert the vid to flash and upload it to my computer.

This look like a great site... Hmmm, now if only I could get the hang of it!!!

I'm all over this once I stop being angry.

Nice Post I wont put my dog picture in my avatar but I can share some pictures of her,she is a sweet cocker spaniel,I named her daisy,3 years old,what she likes is sleep all day long,play with tennis balls,and doggie toys,she likes music..oh she is a popping machine oh god that dog..she is trained to go outside but I dont feed her that much to be cleaning up that much poop LOL not to mention her drinking obsession with beer or wine...lol
Here is some of her Photos in her Famous my space page...

Here's Squink. She's frequently snoring and farting at my side as I sift, unless the cord to my lap top is not positioned correctly - (it MUST be tucked under the laptop. Silly me.) She is a mixed breed marinated in friendly juice, chihuahua/pug but-in-the-backyard accident- not 'designer dog' manner. She is actually the pet dog of my pet dog Daisy, a 14 year old Chow/Shepard who brought me so much joy I thought I'd let her know how it feels. They lurve each other. In in the winter, when it's cold, Daisy's tail is Squink's designated seating area. Fine with Daisy.

Cool. The Sift has gone pet avatar crazy.

OK, I updated my avatar to be my cat, and I see it as such on my iphone, but not my desktop. I take it I need to flush my cache or something?

No ants?

This is Noomy, although it can't be spelled in any human language. Other acceptable spellings include, Pnumi, Gnumi, Knewmy, Numi, etc. He's sort of a jerk, but I loves him.

You'll have to settle for my sister's brood of Toy Poodles:

And I almost forgot about one that comes to visit. My sister called her Pepper (also Frannie's daughter) until her new owner called her Cocoa. But then she ended up with a second owner who called her Sweet Pea. Here she is:

This is Twiddles. His favorite activity is to fill himself up with water and pretend he is a fire hose. His pet peeve is his adopted "little" brother Ebony.

Issykitty and I have 2 cats, Isobel (Issykitty's avatar) and Frankie - which is short for Frankenbutt, or Dr. Franklin Butt Esquire III. There he is --->

I had a little pet spider when I was at work once, I came in from outside and had a little spider on my hand...he lived on my hand and crawled around while I worked, then he got bored and buggered off. I called him Harry.

You might say an accidental pet...

Proper pets that I had were a cat when I was young and a gerbil as well as a Terrapin

All of you are my pets....

Killer was so named because it is what he's so obviously NOT.

Don't have any photos online since I never had anyone to share it with but I've got three dogs, an ancient black Lab, a Shepard mix mutt, and a Blue Heeler. Used to have a heeler/pit mix but she died last year.

One rat (last left of three, getting old). And a cat, she was an accident of sorts. Kind of adopted us. She also seems to think she's a dog.

I've had others, odd ones such as hedgehogs and more normal ones such as cockatiels. Mostly as rescues from people who know we like animals and who got something they can't take care of.

I miss your Rotty avatar.. the Rottweiler one. That's the one I see in my head when I hear your imaginary voice.

No wonder kitty videos always make it through in force here on VS... they have all invaded your homes... your minds... your hearts...

^And our pants.

^ funny you should say that.

i had a donkey named Kelly.

or should i say, they once had me.

RIP to all my hounds, after unnaturally long lives, have now met their maker.

And in a way, I'm a bit relieved to have less "souls on board."

Don't mess with whats in my head mister

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"

I've got two cats myself...

Jedi - Ginger Tom. If I had to describe his personality, I'd say he's just a mean, old fart who gets a shot of youth every once in a while.

Bengal - Bengal (or Siberian)/Persian mix. The absolute last cat you want in 115 degree Vegas. I have cat hair in my brain, I'm sure of it. Oh, and if you touch her, she won't leave you alone; she's a lover and very vocal. That's why I can get rid of her.

I broke down and created a flickr account, figured it was about time anyway. No pictures of the Lab but the rest of my (current) animals are there.

I don't have any pets living with me, hell, I doubt I could keep houseplants alive... "I" have a cat and a bunch of fishies back at my folks though.

Meet Legion! He's eight years old and does nothing but dream of eating small children all day. He enjoys short rides in my TT with the top down, but hates riding in the back of the truck. He is trained in Schutzhund and has numerous tracking titles. He's also won quite a few USRC beauty pageants.

The other one is half greyhound, half Portuguese Water Dog and likes to think she runs the house. 98% of the time, she can be found napping on your bed with her head on your pillow. Her name is Tommi, affectionately referred to as "You little shit."

late to the party here, but oooo oooo I wanna play!
Displayed at the moment is Inca, my uber-spoiled collie princess. (That's not because I spoil her, either...that's her attitude! ha!)
edit: I also share my home with five finches, two hamsters (safely separated in different cages ), seven fish, and since I have a "black thumb" my hubby keeps many plants alive which could also be considered pets!

http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/700/dusty01cw7.jpg

That there's Dusty. He was with me for 15 years. Had to put him down two months after his birthday in 2007. He was part Shi-Tzu, part Cocker Spaniel, and one hell of a smart mutt. Still miss him, that's for sure.

Because Choggie is also MY pet ALL OF YOU ARE MY PETS.... including Inca, my collie, Laura my chicka, five finches, two hamsters , seven fish, and many plants (which I sometimes suspect I am the pet of...).
