ILoveMyAbbyGirl, you can always check a PetTalker's profile to find out what kind of pets they have. Most have them listed there and if they don't, they should. I used your profile and learned that you are the proud Mom to Abby a former DOG OF THE DAY! I went back and found her (May, 2001). What a charmer. Would love to hear more about her now that another year has passed. My first dog as an adult was an Airedale and that breed will always have a part of my heart. My Candy loved to play catch. I could have her sit to catch a ball, stand to catch a ball, go back to catch a ball...

Now I have a Cockapoo (Hannah) and a Cocker Spaniel (Tucker). No cats but maybe one day......

Welcome to Pet Talk....

I have no snails currently, but in my pre-teen years (waaaaaay back when) I was obsessed with the search for the left-whorled* snail. There was a scientist who was trying to breed a bunch of l.w.'ers (99.99+% of snails are right-whorled) and I sooo wanted to find a l.w. one to participate, too. Nowadays I don't even remember what the point of it was...

Never even spotted one (did get a reputation for excentricity that never quite went away, though ;) ) Am I correct in assuming that all of yours are right whorlers?

Since I've become more active in gardening, I'm rather anti-snail lately. Don't mind hearing about them, but bristle when they approach my herbs and flowers.

I have two cats: Lady Olivia d'Flufferuni "Livvy" was born on 11 Apr 1999 and appears to be all brown tabby Maine Coon (she's part Siamese, but it doesn't show).
Perspicacity Purrsonality "Cassy" is my silver swirl tabby boy who was born on 11 Jul 1999.

LOL!! What did you think that snail was going to do to you?? ;) Ha Ha!!!!

We have had a lot of rain lately, and for the first time, I am seeing dozens of little snails all over my front porch and steps. We have to watch where we step at night. So far, I don't think they are eating anything they aren't supposed to, but if they start chomping on my hosta, I'm going to be MAD!!

Good luck with your pet snails!

By the way, I have:
2 Golden Retrievers (Honey and Lilly), who are both 3 years old
2 cats, Mimi (13), and Butter (5??)
2 Cockatiels, Roger and Milly
1 hamster, Olivia
and one "future dog", Murphy, who is a 12-13 year old Lab - she'll be joining our family full time in December when I get married

Welcome to Pet Talk :) It's really fun to see people who likes snails as well, most people will just go "eeeww" if I ever say I like them. I'd just do a search on Google.com for more info, I'm sorry I don't have the time to look up one right now!

Click the banner in my signature for info and pics of my pets... Right now I only have one cat, one dog and fishes.

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

ok.. yeah my snails are right whorled--shells going counter clockwise, and yeah they are fun to watch. heres the update on abby for those who want to know about her....

her birthday is may... 25th, yeah and she is quite the ball of fluff and engery lol. she loooooves to play tug-of-war, and loves to be outside. she thinks shes a cat because she enjoys to sit on my lap.... considering im a 14 year old lolol.... she loves to play fetch and she goes down slides at the park. shes such a character. if i find some pics of her on a disk, i will be sure to post them for ya. abby loves to chase my cats and she is so afraid of the water its funny. she only goes in to her tummy and when it touches her tummy, she runs back to shore. and there must be crawfish in our lake because every once and a while she jumps straight out of the water and runs lol. so her fear of water makes it difficult to give her a bath, as the groomers have told us. LOL. now more on my cats...

POPEYE- popeye is a one eyed cat, can ya tell how she got her name.. when she was born, her one eye didn't open. we called her popeye, thinking she was a boy, and it turned out she was a girl... oops. anyway, i have another cat as u know by the name of willow. she is gray like a pussy willow... hence the name willow. willow is popeye's mom, so willow had to take care of 5 hyper kittens for six weeks. poor cat lol. any way popeye also had a litter of kittens on sept 6th 2001, and there were four little ones. they were sooooo cute i almost cried when we gave em away... popeye had 2 of her kittens under my bed... yuk.... and then when my little bro and i woke up we put her in her nesting box. she had two more that day and u can imagine when i went to school that day... lol whiskers we got when i was born so she is getting up there in age. since this is getting so long ill stop typing lol sry :p :p :p :p
