Q & A Game!

[crow_noir]

oyh i did it again!!!

Q: if you could have any wild local animal as a pet what would it be?
(or domestic version of it's wild counterpart. ex. russia i think it is has minature, domesticated foxes.)

[TheAntiPam]

I get to cheat a little with my answer - I'd have a parrot! I live near a huge botanical park that has become home to stray and released birds from many places. Even though they are not native, the parrots have formed their own colonies and continue to breed. You can find almost any kind of bird, but they are all feral. Finding a baby to hand raise would be a challenge. So, I could have a "local" yet exotic pet!

Q: If you won the lottery, what are three animal-related causes you'd donate to? (My big yellow tabby says "Everyone should choose Spencer's Society for the Advancement of Orange Kitties!" )

I would start my own animal charity, devoted to fostering pets whose people are temporarily unable to care for them, or assisting their owners, whether through illness, homelessness, financial restraints, etc. I once read that many women stay in abusive relationships because the shelters don't allow animals and they are terrified that if they leave their pets behind their men will harm them. I know from my own personal experience, when I was critically ill many years ago, that you have no choice but to let your pets go, either to a shelter or just simply by euthanizing them. I had been fostering pets for years and was shocked that there was no help when my friends sought it for me, because all the foster homes were full of animals that had no owners at all, they couldn't start taking animals that already had a home, even if that home was unoccupied because the owner was in the hospital in a coma. They had no choice but to turn my cats over to my mother, whom I hadn't spoken to for 13 years. My friends handed over four cats, two came home because my mom didn't even bother to try to keep them from going out the cat door. One disappeared, and another was hit by a car.

Anyway, I digress!

If you could identify one event that made you become an animal lover, what was it?

[KayAnn]

Oh because i go to MI every summer... and i was just wondering were u r... i go to Fenton MI .. and around that area.. hopefully this summer i will get to go to Auburn Hills and meet Graham Pooch and Leslie!

[crow_noir]

Kay Ann:

4 F H:
being born.
maybe my dad instilling respect of animals and patience into me around the age of three.
i just remember liking animals and nature my whole life.
maybe it was my german shepherd/lab nanny who instilled the love in me. rest in peace and honorably Baron. i will never forget you. (he was put down when i was two, and i never forgot him.)

...yes, i think i have to give alot of credit to the dogs and cats of my toddler and child hood. first off, i'd like to think Baron. then there are two very loved and missed black cats. most of all i think one's name was spooky. who's doggie brother i also have to give a huge mention to. Bare, a shepherd, black lab mix. (built like a rott. heart like one too. big slobbering baby.) and the list could go on for a while.)

If God sent a messanger to you telling you you could have any three pets come stay w/ you for 20 more years(perfect health, comming to you as babies), which would they be?
*i don't mean any of that in a religious way, just a general question.*

[Rosey]

A; I would have to day a Cat, Dog, and a hamster as I love so many kinds of pets and would like to have them around for some time. And in perfect health would be a dream come true!

Q; What would be a good choice for a first time owner who never had a pet before?

[crow_noir]

A: after all the pets i've "owned" and have taken care of for people, i honestly have to say, if they(all pets) are being taken care of properly... a CAT is the #1 easiest pet to take care of. a dog #2. (requires some intelligence and common sence for training.) (where as a bird can be, i stress can be, but not necessarily, easier to train, is defintly higher maintence.)

Q: if you could vote to do away w/ dailights savings time, and the other clock adjustments, would you? (you know, just a final half hour adjustment, and never have to do it again for the rest of the time on earth) why or why not? (he he, this sounds like a homework type question ...lol)

[Logan]

I'm trying to get back in the swing of things here. And your question is very timely, as Helen and I were discussing Daylights Saving time just last night.

Answer: It would probably make sense to do away with it, since not every community even uses it. BUT, frankly, I like it. I like the "false" sense of that extra hour of sleep in the fall, along with "closing up" a little earlier as the weather is getting cooler. And I love it when the weather is warming up and we push those clocks forward and have longer days, therefore more time outdoors in the evening.

My question is this:

If there was one good thing about your dog or cat that you could mimick and do yourself, what would it be?

(and my answer would be to be able to curl up and go to sleep in the sunshine, whenever I want to)

[Former User]

Casper and Kitty's human here... well one thing I want to have from my cats is their energy...my godness they have way too much of it sometimes and I sure could use it, as I've been a bit lazy lately

Q: what is the animal you wouldn't want to have as your pet? (just from the animals that are considered as pets)

[Cougie Wechsler]

A: A creey crawly tarantula

[Dixieland Dancer]

A Snake I absolutely hate snakes.

Question: This has been on my mind all week due to the tragic circumstances in NY. Here goes.... If you had a search dog and it's feet and other parts of the body were getting all cut up searching for victims in the rubble of the WTC, would you pull your dog from the search or let the dog continue to search?

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

A. If the cuts were putting my dog in danger, then yes, I would pull him out of the search. He is no use to anyone if he is hurt. If the cuts were small and not too serious, I would let him continue with the search.

Q. Does your pet like the mountains or the beach better?

[Logan]

I don't know, but I'm getting ready to find out! Honey and Lilly are accompanying Helen and me to Oak Island, NC in October. We can't wait!!! And hopefully, knowing their love for water, they will love it too! I am a beach person, although I live closer to the mountains. I do think that Honey and Lilly would love a mountain trip too, swimming in the cold water, and hiking and exploring.

Here's my question:

What "treat" does your pet just live for?

My doggie girls Love any kind of new squeaky toy. And Butter, the cat, loves anything with catnip and we love watching him chase it! Mimi prefers a nice can of Fancy Feast and a nap!

[KayAnn]

Would this answer your question?!?!?!?
MILKBONES!!!!!!!!!!!!


Question: What is your pets favorite season?


Simba is Summer because he LOVES that sun... sometimes i joke around and say How does Simba get so tan, and my mom replys its from layin out in that sun all day!
