Haha. Nope. I'm right by where your pups are from.

1. How many furbabies do you have? Any non-furry furbabies?

I have one cat.  We had a crayfish a few months ago, but he died.

2. What kinds of furbabies (or non-furry ones) do you have?

A cat.

3. If you could get another pet, would you? What kind?

All the cats!!!!!!!!!!!  We are actually planning to get chickens next year, mostly for eggs but also to have as pets.  DH wants to get dogs eventually.

4. Where did you get your current furbabies/non-furry furbabies?

I got my cat from someone online.  She was giving away free kittens and DH got my cat for me soon after I lost my job.

5. Pictures! If you got 'em, let's see 'em!
I'll pass on the pictures, but my cat is black and white and suuuuper fluffy. She has a ton of long whiskers around her face and everyone says she looks like an old man.

4. We rescued him from a shelter
5. Here he is, he wasn't a fan of the sweater.


I put my cat in a sweater and she just crouched really low and didn't move. Is that what yours did?

PonyGirl I LOVE your JRT's markings! I grew up with JRT's but they had the white on the forehead, the all brown head is so adorable

Thank you!! When we first got him, some of our friends used to say he had a mask on lol.

1. How many furbabies do you have? Any non-furry furbabies? 4

2. What kinds of furbabies (or non-furry ones) do you have? 3 cats named Bella, Bernadette
(Aka Bernie, named after Bernie Kosar for those sports fans out there) and Dave and 1 big dog named Bindi.

3. If you could get another pet, would you? What kind? I really want a Pygmy goat but I haven't convinced DH that that is an acceptable pet.

4. Where did you get your current furbabies/non-furry furbabies? Bindi and Bernie both came from rescues. Bella a friend found in his garage and asked me to take her (she was so little I had to feed her with an eye dropper) and Dave came from a friend who's cat had kittens.

5. Pictures! If you got 'em, let's see 'em!

I love seeing everyone's furbabies. It makes me want a million more!

housecarder Ah! I am in love with Crookshanks! Also laughing that he came with the couch. I really want a cat but DH is not a fan ... despite always talking about his beloved cat growing up. How much sense does that make?!

thechickencoop I cannot wait to get chickens! Yours are adorable. What kind of climate do you live in? We will be in VT so I am researching the best chickens for colder climates.

My roommate in college had a Pekingese who would basically play dead when she tried to put a sweater on him. He would refuse to walk until she took it off.

My dog does this. We say she is "dogatonic". I think it has more to do w/ things being on her head, like a hood.

For a minute then he started running around like a wild man trying to get it off.

1. How many furbabies do you have? Any non-furry furbabies? One.
2. What kinds of furbabies (or non-furry ones) do you have? Cat. Her name is Ling (named after the movie Kung Pow).

3. If you could get another pet, would you? What kind? Not sure. We're not getting another pet while we have Ling.
4. Where did you get your current furbabies/non-furry furbabies? Pet store. I know I was young and didn't know any better. Next pet will be coming from a shelter.
5. Pictures! If you got 'em, let's see 'em! Don't have any on this computer.

lilsneezy, I've grown super fond of rats over the last few years and I'd love to have one but DH is adamantly against it. I keep telling him they make wonderful companion pets but he doesn't like any rodents, so there you go.
lgraceh, My parents used to breed mini schnauzers! They were great except for the barking Lol Granted, corgis are major barkers most of the time, too, but so goes.
andrea, I will be your cheering section for getting a corgi!

We're in MD; but a lot of the common breeds sold at the feed stores are pretty cold-hardy. This blog (can I post that here, it's not mine or anything), is awe.some; she's in Canada and has chickens, I'm sure you could find some cold-climate chick info there.

She does have the shrillest (most shrill) (am I even spelling that right?) back. But she is always "talking" and it is the cutest. She growls, and grumbles, and howls. She only really barks at the door. Do your parents own any still? Schnauzer people are hard core. I've had the craziest run-ins w/ other owners. One person yelled at me to wait from their balcony, ran inside, then help up their schnauzer a la Michael Jackson. Another lady stopped her car and said to see what was in her back seat- too schnauzer puppies! Haha. Corgis are so stinking cute. The memes are out of control adorable.
