What pets have you got and what are their names?
We have 3 cats named Millie, Malachy and Mink. Millie is an 11 year old persian grey tabby who we nicknamed 'lardass' because, well, she is!
Malachy is a ginger tom (spayed). I was reading Angela's Ashes when we got him, this little ginger kitten with a tuft of orange hair on top of his head that stood straight up on end and I thought I should give him a good Irish name with hair like that!
Mink is a Norweigan Tree Climbing cat (seriously, that's her breed) who we've inherited from my sister. She's my favourite because she's such a ditz!! She rolls off the couch in her sleep, trips over the rug and when she tries to jump on the table misses half the time! When you pat her she goes into such raptures of ecstacy you could thump her on the head and she wouldn't notice.
All our cats names have started with 'M'. We've had Mr. Mojo, Misty and Misha as well. They have either died of old age, disappeared or been run over :( . But every one of them has ruled the house!
2 cats - Minty, named because i had just lost my cat and my hubby comes home with above said new kitten...times like these, you need Minties lol twit he is....
Cosmo- Minty's daughter, about 14 weeks younger than her mum GEESH
Dogs- Jedda, German Shep 15 years old
Murphy, Rotti 3 years old and HUGE
Husband- Ken, human 34 years old :D .........enough said!

We have "Talisker's Double Fogelhund", named after a type of single malt scotch and generally shortened to Tali. She's a german shorthaired pointer, around 6 years old and too bloody smart. We brought her with us from Canada.
Our other dog is a Deerhound cross, we think, around 4 years old and called Cindi. She is actually Tali's dog, we got her to keep Tali company and keep her from pestering us for attention so much. It's worked a treat.

Our old cat (RIP) was named "Sully" or "Sullivan" when he was naughty!!!! We just LOVE Monsters Inc!!
Me I have 3 birds Kiko, Mango, and Elijah, and a ferret Fi Fi
I didn't name Mango just to clear that up lol
Hey :)
we have one dog a 7 year old long haired Jack Russell... (sick at the moment if you see the other thread) ... but doing better (fingers crossed)
His name when we got him was Arnold - which we immediately hated.. (the kids in the house were schwarzeneggar fans.... ) - so we racked our brains for other Arnolds... so we could change his 'surname' and call him by that -
after watching him for awhile... we realise he was an idiot (Jack Russell.... too much energy!!! - instinct takes over from training!!) .... and immediately thought of ARNOLD J RIMMER - from Red Dwarf!!! so he was christened Rimmer from that moment onwards... :)
love red dwarf!!!!!

Great topic - sorry to yabber but SSOO up my alley (the joy of living in the country!)
Some little notes on past posts ...
Oliver's Mum - A Devon Rex, great idea! - will keep you very warm in winter - did you know of their exothermic ability?!
Shannon Re Gizmo, I'm SO sorry, it makes me sad just reading it!
Jayden's mum - I LOVE GUINEA PIGS!!!!!
Kimmy Re Ferret - so feel the same way about rabbits!
As for our little troop...
We have the fussiest stray cat in the universe whom I have called Oliver (sort of pronounce it Oliveea - kind of fake French nameish) - not a stray anymore!!! He has been a blessing for Mikki to learn animal interaction with SSOOO patient
Nanny-Noo is a Mareema (huge Italian herd dog) who also found her way to our family - Great guard dog, feel so safe but gentle as a lamb with bub - such a nice nature. Came to us named Nute - have never changed a pets name b4 but!
Mr Toby-Wong is my border collie, 4yo, soft as soft, he was my boy before DH and feels a bit put out now, although he loves the bubba (and I still sneak him under blankie on couch for a cuddle every now and then)
Working dogs - Cricket, Hazel, and Skeeta - all hillarious characters and my goodness they work hard. Cricket takes epileptic fits but such a great dog.
Had 2 other gorgeous cats, brother and sister, Molly and Sparticus but lost custody to mother-in-law, sneaky sneaky!!
Won't name all the horses, too many, except for Cameo which is Mickayla's Welsh Pony and Bravo - I got him in Melbourne (my home town) when I was 13 (now 34!) - still happy - retired on our property (didn't name him either)
Cockateils - Naffy (hand tamed), Charlotte, Chikka, and Nick (btw them they have 3 different phone ring tones)
Guinea Pigs - used to have several (Sphene, Gossamer, Corrundum, and Schmutzie) - had Corrundum for years and years was SSSOOO tame, great personalities, gorgeous animals!

We have 3 Seal Point Siamese, Sabyon Au Grand (Saby) 5 Yr Old Male, Rehgan 4 Yr Old Male and Jolie, our 4 Yr Old Female. My younger brother is a chef which is how Saby got his name, he's named after a French Dessert. My mum named Rehgan, she imported his father from Washington and so thought he needed an American kinda name. And little Jolie I named after Angelina Jolie.
We also have Pudd(Pood) who was at the house when we moved in. Someone was still feeding her but just didnt want to take her with them i guess. She's a beautiful cat. We tried not feeding her for a while to see if she would leave (Bf's idea) but she didn't so she stayed, inherited the name, which she now comes to and is the healthiest i have seen her since we moved in. She was a little wary of Jase when we moved in but loves us to death now and she will definately not be left behind by us should we move.
Luckily, i dont have the cats my mum has otherwise this post would turn into a short story of names. At the moment she has 17 cats and 4 kittens, and we can tell each and everyone apart, even the kittens. Don't know how really... :p

Well i thought i would add mine into the mix also !
We have 2 cats mother & son . Mum is Belle & is a Scottish long hair - she should have been a Scottish fold but she actually got the gene that makes their ears stand up ! She got out & got preggers 2yrs ago now to our neighbours cat who was a white persian & had Mr Mcfurs who is either called Furry or Furball. She is the biggest drama queen i know of she thinks she owns the place ! She hates being picked up or patted unless she asks for it, if you pat her when she isnt wanting it she will clean herself as if your dirty & you have ruined her fur ! Furry is just a huge basket case being scared of the vacuum & storms he also goes into self mutilate mode if he is stressed ( he pulls his fur out ) but is very affectionate & loves bubs always trying to get pats !
I had my purebred labrador Zoe who was 5yrs up until 2 mths ago as we thought it best she go to a new home. She has behavioural problems & us moving into the townhouse last year wasnt fair on her & she became unhappy with living here & not happy about bubs. Poor thing was happy just having me as her owner then along came DP & then was bubs ! Hardest decision ever but she is in a new home with a friend & someone who takes her to work everyday.
I also lost my cat Bam-bam to old age last year while i was preggers i got her while in high school so she lived a very spoilt 12yrs but i miss her daily.
We have pondered getting another dog in the future a small one that will cope with a townhouse but im more worried about having a second child first ! hehehe
well im doing mine again alot of them have changed and a few are going soon.... so now we have.....
2 gold fish
tweet-tweet-grey/green budgie
sunny- green budgie
fushy- violet budgie
big-grey grey spangle budgie
Rocko-the vicious blue indian ring neck
dusty- cockatiel
speckles and freckles- our bantam chickens
and we are selling all our breeding ducks... partner has had enough and his work is longer hours now and doesnt have the time to clean the pens everyday. :( dont get to see any more babies now each spring. ohh well....

We just have a 1/2 tailless Vietnamese Manx named Wally. At the time, I thought those Where's Waldo? books were kind of cute, but I really don't care for the name Waldo, so he's a Wally. And it's the perfect name for him since he's such a big, pouty, whiney baby. :p

Hello all - really sad to say that we have lost one of our beautiful mares, Prelude - I think it was a snake bite.
She had a fillie at her feet, less than a week old, poor little darling had been at least 24hrs without a feed. Her eyes were all sunken with dehydration.
I think the little one might come good - we have been bottle feeding her Mickayla's formula until the vet opens tomorrow and she looks better already - three hourly feeds through the night again, its been awhile! Lucky it is a beautiful night!

after watching him for awhile... we realise he was an idiot (Jack Russell.... too much energy!!! - instinct takes over from training!!) .... and immediately thought of ARNOLD J RIMMER - from Red Dwarf!!! so he was christened Rimmer from that moment onwards... - Veve
I love that, just had to post it again for a chuckle.
I've got 3 cats (one of which is mine and actually attached herself to me!).
Cadbury is (heck!) about 8 yrs old... typical cat, lost 8 lives as a kitten... the vet knew us VERY well - still a trouble maker lol
Oh and it's Cadbury's White Chocolate, snowball seemed to.. 'used' :p
The Girl - about 4 yrs, she was a twin stray we captured and was going to take to the RSPCA, but we fell in love. She lost her twin 'The Boy' due to poisoning, probably from someones garden.
Obviously we had a writers block when we named them!
And then my Gracie, her first birthday is on the 13th dec!
I was going to call her phoenix because I had a dream that I called her that to come back, but when she was introduced to Cadbury ( a small joke in the family that he's a poof -long story!), my mum said she was a fag hag.. so mum started calling her Grace - from Will and Grace.
Addition: Sorry if my cats sexuality offends anyone, it's a personal choice really and we'll stick by him :D

I know what you mean about that! Our two dogs try and go at each other sometimes....weirdos. And i oncce had a horse that would try and go any other male horse around, never mind the females....
Jessie - that is soooo sad (((((big hugs)))))....And with a foal at foot.... :( I hope she does well and pulls through for you....
I hate it when i lose any animal, but horses are my big soft spot.....can't wait to get another one, one day... :rolleyes:

It's so hard losing an animal, my mother has said these are the last cats.. she doesn't want anymore (believe it when I see it! :p )
We used to have a cat called Sweetie which had 2 be put down when she was 16yrs (about 80 in cat years!).
And the best cat I remember, Gandolf the Grey - used to always lick the vegemite off my toast when I wasn't looking!
And if mum thinks she can live without a cat Im going to have to think of an unusual pet to get... and I dont think she'll like reptiles :( hehe

The foal is doing really well - she is getting lots of baby horse 'formula' and electrolytes - feeds every two to three hours and is responding really well
Hooray!
We have named her now, her official name is "Jessie's Prize" but we are calling her " baby" - this is because DH used to call her mummy baby :(
On a very bright note she is a lovely little fillie!! :)

Thats great Jessie! And a lovely name for her too!
What breed of horses do you breed? Thoroughbreds? Just thought that maybe 'Jessie's Prize' kinda sounds like a racing name...

One is a Burmese and his name is Salem, he is a big snob at times :p
And my other is a Ragdoll, but i think he also has tabby in him, but his name is Buggar :p the name speaks for itself..lol

I was thinking about calling my kitten Bugger, as thats what Mac called him on the way home when he was crawling out of the box! But he's Binky now....

H'ya Shaz - gorgeous kitten!
We have stockhorses - we use them for cattle work and campdrafting.
There has been a slight change - "Jessie's Pride" instead of Prize - prize is too much like ownership and we don't own them, they are our friends!
She is doing better all the time!
Shazbutt
13-12-2005, 21:24
Ahh, stockhorses...more my kind!
I used to ride every day, but when we moved i had to sell my mare....I now wish i hadn't. She was thoroughbred, but a good all rounder. I think she was bred to race, but never made it through the trials.
I did a bit of mustering up until i had Mac, for my Uncle, but no big stuff. Would love to though. I don't get a chance to see much campdrafting, not with two little girls, and the heat out here! I love going to rodeos too, but they're a bit slow out here, you wouldn't think it being the country!
I think I like the sound of Jessie's Pride better too. And yes, i agree, they are our best friends! I can't wait to get property one day and have as many horses as i like...and i can't wait to teach the girls! (If they're willing!)

You and yours are welcome anytime!!!
Speaking of the interaction, this foal has been a Godsend for Mickayla who was quite frightened by the 'big' horses - she loves patting this one!
I would never force her, I hate it when people try to 'puppet' their likes etc with their children - although if she doesn't become a scientist shes in trouble - ;) - Just kidding!

I forgot you are only in Murgon! Its not THAT far away from here...i go through on my way to see my mum at Cooran (near Gympie kinda...).
Do you have a heap of land? I've never actually lived on property, but have always felt i belonged somewhere in the bush, not a city girl....DH is a farm boy, so hopefully well get it one day!
Yeah, I'd love the girls to love horses too, but if they don't its no biggy. DH wants them to be into sports, i think he kind of expects them to be, as he did sports and so did his dad. I was never a big sports person, only horse-riding, i was more into reading and writing. As long as my girls don't sit in front of the TV all day and are doing something constructive i'm happy, whether it be indoor or out. DH thinks its somehow not normal to be an indoor person...that you've gotta be doing something active all day to be healthy.... :confused:
Sorry, kind of got off the topic there! LOL
Hello,
I have 2 little staffies 1 black with white patches his name is Rocco and the other is a brindle colour and his name is Gelignite. They are so funny but can be really naughty at times. But the worst part is as soon as I yell at them they sit down and give you this look like my yelling upset them. Then I give in and have to give them cuddles.
Sad I know!

Sorry to say that we lost our little fillie "Jessie's Pride" - after a week she just went downhill so fast - looked like she would be OK for a minute there but in the end (24hrs on a drip) she just wasn't coming good
Sad :(
They are just so fragile young foals
Shazbutt
20-12-2005, 06:51
Oh Jessie, I am so sorry for you.....Its so terrible when they seem to be doing so well, and then just do down so quickly...:(
I lost my little birdy i was raising too after he was doing really well last week....in no way does it really compare with your beautiful little filly though....
So sorry to hear that...

I tried to pm you this but your messages are full - so I will post it here for you :)
Hi there - funny enough I have been thinking of you often in the last week or so. Must be the Qld country affinity - or maybe just that horse lovers affinity - or maybe your gorgeous kitten picture (which I notice has been outdone by your gorgeous bubba!
Thanks for the thoughts, it was just so disappointing after such intensive work to try and keep her going.
Sorry to hear about the little bird, you know it does compare - I feel the same sadness no matter what creature is in my care!
Take care
Love J

Hey Jessie...how are you? I guess we're both having bad weeks.....
My little foxie Turbo died today....of Parvo. He died within a day of getting sick...i only noticed him unwell yesterday at lunchtime, and by 3.30pm this arvo he was gone. I took him to the vet this morning, and they kept him in to figure out what it was....Its taught me the lesson now, to get them vaccinated as pups. I never have before and we've just been lucky i guess...
It hard not hearing his bark (as much as it annoyed me sometimes:rolleyes: ), but i guess i'll get used to it. I dare say i'll get a new little puppy sometime though.....i can't seem to live without a dog....
I have been thinking of you over there alot too curiously enough...wonder why? Hope you are all well:)
Mother Duck
22-12-2005, 23:51
I'm sorry to hear that you have lost your friend - you will probably find yourself looking for him when you go walking for a few days
Always so sad - and Parvo yep that'll get em
We really must organise to meet each other in the New Year !
There is some weird affinity thing going on there!
well bubba got a early chrissy present off my cousins a puppy... we named her holly.
she is a ****su/chuauah.would have been nice is i knew about it ! who said we even wanted a dog ??? ohh well we have one now and we love her to bits... but dont ya just hate when people give other people animals as presents without asking first !
Shazbutt
23-12-2005, 07:00
Thanks Jessie, and yes, we must meet up sometime, that'd be great!
MUMMY- A puppy, wow! And yeah, i guess it would have been helpful to know about it first! LOL I would never give an animal as a pet without knowing that the new owners wanted it....thats how all these abandonements happen....She sounds like a beautiful mix though, she'd be tiny wouldn't she?
I might not get on here much after tonight as my sis is coming tonight, and the rest of the fam tomorrow. So have a great chrissy and new years guys! Stay safe!:)

Merry Christmas Shaz
Enjoy your family - I wish mine were here! LOL
yep she is very tiny and scruffy ! the size of a chuauah and the looks of one too she doesnt look much like the brothers and sisters which you could tell were a mixed breed... ours just looks like a scruffy weird colourd rat....lol
yes i wasnt impressed i didnt know about it first (i would have said no if i knew) and i wasnt impressed she was COVERD in ticks !!!! so we have been dealing with them this morning...
atleast she is in a good home with us and will be spoilt... (she woldnt eat her dog food so i grilled a chicken breast for her :eek: and all i got for breaky was a glass of water)
im excited... a reason to buy all cute doggie stuff today because she has nothing except a dog bed... not even a bowl or collar or leash so we get to go doggie shopping... how cute !
Shazbutt
23-12-2005, 11:12
Its always so much fun to get them their cute little collars and things! Any excuse for shopping! LOL And you can buy so much more stuff for the little dogs.... Have fun!
We have a dog called 'Corben', he is a kelpie x blue heeler, he got his name when my DP was listening to Dr. Karl on tripple J one day when his ex-partner was preggers. Dr Karl was talking about the causes of an itchy tummy when your pregnant and apparently it has something to do with corbens (perhaps DP heard wrong!). When he Picked the dog up as a puppy he was scratching like mad so he got the name 'corben'.
We have a cat called 'Molly', he is a orange and white domestic cat that i got at about 6 weeks old, when i picked him up they assured me that he was a very rare ginger female (i couldnt tell the difference!). A few months later i was playing with my beautiful little girl (or so i thought) and noticed he had testies!!!!
We also have a beautifull little bush bunny! His name is 'Smidge' (cause he is only a little smidge of a rabbit) . We were cleaning up in the garden about 3 weeks ago and accidentally disturbed a nest of bunnys, their mum ran off but we assumed she would come back after dark so we wernt too worried. The next day we went to check on them and they were all dead except for one. So i went to the vet and got some special milk for him and a tiny little bottle, put him on a hot water bottle and fed him every 2 hrs for a week! He didnt even have his eyes open at this stage but did have a little fur. As soon as his eyes opened (about two weeks ago) he started eating grass so his feeds are down to every 6hrs:) He has so much of a personality! He loves cuddles! Follows my DSS everywhere and is even toilet trained!!!!
If you have gotten this far thankyou for listening to me dribble!!!
