[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 318007, member: 5938"] Such a joy to hear about your pets. I have to smile at the closeness you all have and how you respect their differinig personalities. We have two dogs, two cats, houserabbit, geese and an ancient peahen. Youngest dog was a shelter animal, an australian cattle dog. Oh boy, we didn't know what we were in for. He has gotten us off our rears to play and train him. He craves it and gets destructive without it. So darned smart and silent stealth. Teeth without a brain sometimes. Jasmine, the older dog seems to have some chow in her but even the vet can't determine what she is. Another shelter dog who is quiet, patient and kind but can kick her brother's butt when need be, even though he's larger than she. Older cat, mew, is the best we've ever had and has protected his terrain for many years. Now he's old and somewhat frail so we kiss his butt and make sure no intruders pick on him. Shelter cat who was on death row when we got him. Pouncer is the younger cat who wants to ride on my shoulders. OK in winter when I have heavy coats but hurts like heck in summer with no fabric to sink in claws. Uses my skin and I tolerate it. Loving and sweet but moody and loves to play head games. Geese were purchased at a swap meet for next to nothing. Pale, sad beaks crammed in a small cage. They have thrived, reproduced many times over and love their little pool in the summer. Trouble free and sturdy we love them. One hatchling was weak and walked over, pooped on by the others, left behind to die. I brought him in and put him on the kitchen table while husband was having his frist cup of coffee. Said "this thing stinks" so his name is stinky and he was raised in the house. Houserabbit is a hoot. Buns are very subtle creatures and we have to get down close to hear little snufflings, grunts and squeaks. So much personality and love. Last week I had to flip him over in my lap to trim his nails. He hauled off, kicked me in the jaw and took off. I got him the next day and the nails are trimmed. What a stinker! Peahen. One year told my husband I wanted peacocks for my birthday and he got them! Beautiful but ornery. George, the male has passed on but Martha the hen is going on 20 years now. She is truly a b*tch and killed my favorite chicken. She must be in bird menopause because last year she grew long tail feathers and looks just like a male. We love and respect her for her stamina. Had a cat when I met my husband and she resented him from day one, even though he was so good to her. She'd leave a poop pile just where she knew he'd step first thing in the morning. I'd always leave a clean skillet on stove for his breakfast before I left for work. One day he got up and found poop in his skillet! Most folks would have killed her for that but he had to laugh at her persistance to run him off. Keep the critter stories coming, they are so cute!
