    Like you all, my current family is my family of dreams. (But I've got to admit when I read any of the Dragonriders of Pern series, I also dream of having my own telepathic dragon. I wonder if Cassy and Livvy would be any more open to dragon rides than car rides, hmm? Aren't dreams fun?)

    I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)



    Thank you, Popcornbird for creating this tribute to Summer starring Livvy and Cassy

    Livvy: 11 April 99 - 5 July 09
    Cassy: 11 July 99 - 8 April 11

    Ohhh...I'd LOVE a dragon After all of the dragon movies I have seen (the latest being Shrek) a dragon ride would be the BEST!!! Also, in the movie "The Never Ending Story" I don't remember the name of the big dog/dragon that carried Sebastian through Forgotton Land would be GREAT! When I saw that movie as a kid, I so wanted one of those flying dragon/dog creatures so badly

    A pegasus would also be really something

    Yes, it is fun to dream

    Eudora: there are actually alot of states over here that have breed specific bans. mostly on pitt type dogs, rottweilers, or boxers. there are others, but those are the most popular on the list. alot of us wonder why can't they just use vicious dog laws and enforce them. that's why many of us on the pet boards will say "judge by deed, not by breed!" i geuss alot of countries are fighting the breed ban. i herad some countries are down to just over 100 dog breeds to choose from, from 444. really sad. some groups are using the breed banning as a tool to eradicate domestic pets. (such as PETA and The Humane Society Of the United States.)(don't get me wrong, i love the humane society for all the good they do, but i will not forgive them for this.)

    Misha: i used to have some budgies. since then i found out i'm allergic to feathers. however, i would like to get another blue male someday. or maybe a dusky conure. i love the colorful huge tropical birds, but they are just not for me. on the "exotic" side (not to me) i also am considering getting a crow.
    i'm glad you have happinesss w/ your present pets.

    Amber Lee and All: ooooooh. i've wanted a pet dragon for years. they are so beautiful. i think i like the pern type the best too. i wish i could remember the name of another series i found. i think you all would enjoy it. it's more for children, but still really good. ("talking to dragons" was one of the four book series.) has anyone seen the "ugly bird" in the movie Evolution? it is sooooo cool!

    Adore my Dogs: wow, i thought i'd remember his name by the time i got down here. all i can remember though it that he was a luck dragon. (jeese, it just passed behind my eyes again! it's right there!)

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.

    Hi Crow...

    Yes...a luck dragon, I forgot about that. And I just looked up what his name was because it was bugging me, and his name was Falkor And the boys' name was Atreyu.

    That was one of my favorite movies as a kid! Even though it was a little scary when I was young, it was still really good.

    Misha: I hope you get your birds soon!

    For me it would be a gray and white horse. It would be a mare. I would want her to be 2 years old (just old enogh to ride) I would name her "Baby, I'm Just A Little Angel", but call her Angel for short. She would be a Thoroughbred.

    i also own my ideal pet, my 3 year old palomino filly. i couldn't have asked for a better horse, we go through some pretty rough moments (she recently had a bucking problem) but, she is still a baby and doesn't really know anything (thats my excuse for the 7 falls i've taken off her) . I promised i'd never sell her. we have a very strong bond that noone can break. next year will be her first show season as well as mine.
