Who Inspired You..

[flamepony12]

To get the pets you've gotten since you've joined PT? (for those of you it applies to)

Mackenzie, Muffin, Zeus, Merlin, & Freckles: Had them all before I joined.

Baybi: Pops. I fell in love with her birds right away and knew I'd own a cockatiel sometime in the near future. xD

The Bettas: I think the three main people that have given my betta hobby a kick start are Kara, Erica & Ashley. Before I started to get to know them, I only had Harold. Now I have four, with two more coming on Teusday. >.< heh. However, I'm glad they got me hooked! ^_____^

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

I had Blaze and Domino before I joined, and then all the wonderful betta owners convinced me to get my butterfly betta, Fizz!

I always knew I wanted more dogs but PT made me aware of the number of homeless dogs in shelters.. so we ended up adopting rather than getting another pup from a breeder.

I fell in love with PCB's birdies. I more I saw her birdies, the more I wanted a birdy of my own. Wanting one bird, turned into getting five LOL.

[Chilli]

I had Frisk, Melani, Ethan, and Khaith before I joined.

Marley: No one inspired me, no one really talks about hamsters on PT if they own them.

Norri: I always enjoyed seeing Star (Maltese_Love's Budgie), but she's not the complete reason why I got Norri.

Otto & Ventriloquist: No one in particular, though Miss Z's Tia has always sounded like such a loving little girl and had made me want some rats even more.

The Bettas: Every betta owner that talked about their bettas. Some inparticular, but I won't point any fingers. Eventhough it is all you guys' fault that I have four bettas now.

Basically the only people that fully inspired me were the betta owners. After my first three fish died, I had told myself that I wasn't getting any more fish. And look at me now! Four bettas and plans to get an Angelfish in a few months!

I don't think anyone's every inspired me to get an animal. Adopting my three dogs were a decision myself and my family made.

I kind of have to agree. Nobody convinced me more than Giselle herself to make me adopt her. Of course, I adopted her a few weeks before joining PT so I guess she doesn't count. I did purchase another budgie, but I've been owned by budgies long before joining any forum

Orangutango's Winston reawakened my deep hunger for a Dobe, I do have to admit.

I had just lost my beautiful boy Sooti when i first joined PT but i had my old guy Ash, since then I adopted Lexie.

However i think being here made me take the stand i did with my neighbours kitties and get them spayed and now i have got them in my care for now at least, so i really do put a lot of that down to being here on PT, seeing the wonderful rescues that go on,and the care and devotion and how giving people are of themselves, so i did not just bury my head in the sand and was pro-active if that is the right word to use, and did something to help Duchess and Vicky and Zara and their babies, I have not regretted my decision once, all ten kittens have now been adopted, their life would have been as ferals, and we all know how awful that can be.

I guess the inspiration came from all of the great people here , especially the rescuers who I greatly admire, far too many to list but you all know who you are, and of course never forgetting Lisa Kuhio who made it all possible for me.

Maltese_Love and Sassy have made me view Maltese (haven't had one in a long while, too long to remember) in a way that makes me ITCH for one.
