Q & A Game!

[Dixieland Dancer]

Dixie can get a good 2 to 3 feet off the ground with all four paws off the ground. This is jumping straight up! She is a very athletic Golden girl. Doing the broad jump she can go about 5 or 6 feet! Since Dusty is just a pup still I don't encourage him to jump. His bones are still growing and I don't want to take a chance of him getting hurt. He is still a little awkward in his puppyhood!


Q: Do you sometimes turn down invitations to go somewhere if your pets can't go?

I hate going places without my dogs and have been known to stay home if they can't go. I'd rather spend time with my pups than with some humans I can think of.

[thelmalu99]

A: I have cats, so I really can't take them places with me, but I have been known to turn down and invitation because I really just wanted to stay home with them. When I go out, they are always on my mind and I miss them so much. I really do wish that I could take them places with me.

Q: Are most of your friends animal lovers, or do they look at you like you're crazy when you talk about your pets?

[aly]

A: I hardly go anywhere if my pets can't go. If I am going to be going somewhere for the evening and they can't come along, I'll drop them off at my sister's and she babysits I HATE them to be alone in the late evening hours. I've been known to make more than one guy I've dated mad because we always have to go places where my pups can come along, hehe.

Q: Which show on animal planet would YOU like to host?

[aly]

Opppps, I posted mine two minutes late So I'll answer your question thelmalu and then ask the same one I just did...

A: My friends from school look at me like I'm crazy. I don't care though, I continue talking and let them look at me like that because they are the ones missing out! They aren't really my close friends though. All my close friends are staff or volunteers at the shelter. They are great people and just as crazy as I am about animals!

Q: Which show on animal planet would YOU like to host?

[NoahsMommy]

A: I haven't watched the animal channel is quite awhile....hmmm. I used to like that Vet Rescue show, but it was sad seeing the animals hurt. I guess any show that I wouldn't have to touch any yucky animals would be cool.

Q: How often do you buy toys for your pet?

[crow_noir]

A: toys??? i've only bought King a new toy once. so i'm geussing once every year or year and a half. (i did buy a ball for me, and i was planning on sharing, but he doesn't like this one, other wish that would have counted.)

Q: has your pet(s) ever changed colors?

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

A. When Drake was a little pup, his fur was a light greyish blonde. As he has grown up, his fur has turned black. If you got a hair it would be half greyish blonde, half black. If that makes sense.

Q. Does your pet act like a person? How?

[SimbaTWonderDog]

Simba is person 100% Not only does he lay on our bed but he has to have a pillow to rest his head...he prefers the chairs rather then the floor.


What trick can your pet do that is ur favorite?

Mine is Roll Over and also whe he says i love you!

[Dixieland Dancer]

My favorite trick for Dixie is "Give me a kiss". She loves me terribly but has a hard time with the kissing part. She has to be "IN THE MOOD". So when I tell her give kiss and she does, I know it was out of pure Love!

I love it when Dusty gives paw. He gets so into it that he lifts his paws really high and keeps giving them to you until you just have to end up laughing out loud.

Question: When you have to leave your dog for extended periods (more than a day or two) where do you board them?

I had taking them to a kennel so I usually try to find someone in the family to watch them. If nobody is available then I take them to my groomers who boards them for me.

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

A. I have to have a friend or family member take care of him. Drake doesn't like cages or kennels and gets really aggressive if you force him into one. He will only stay at someone else's house if at least one of us is with him. Unless it is Andrew's parent's house. He loves it there!

Q. How often do you brush your pet's hair? teeth?

Drake gets his hair and teeth brushed everyday.

[NoahsMommy]

A: We seem to only be able to comb Noah (kitten) when he is sleepy, so usually at night I'll brush him. Faith (bunny) gets brushed about twice a week, she sheds more often. I would be afraid to brush their teeth! We'll leave that to the carrots and cat food!

Q: How did you come up with your pet's names?

[SimbaTWonderDog]

Well as a little girl (and now) I loved and still do Love The Lion King, so i named him Simba!


If your pet was a flavor what flavor would it be? (i know its a wierd question!) Simba would be sweet caramel, something everyone loves, golden brown, and with a sweet touch!

[Former User]

Casper and Kitty would be something spicy

Q: How many times per day you visit Pet Talk?

(we visit probably too many times... )

[Dixieland Dancer]

I have Dog of the Day as my home page for both my work and home PC. It is addicting and I find myself visiting every free moment I have (and occassionally moments that I should be working)

Question: Does your dog have the personality of a particular person?

Dixie reminds me of Princess Diana. Royalty at it's best!

Dusty reminds me of a circus clown. LOL

WOW! How weird! I just started a topic on dog's personalities compared to their owners and then came here and saw this question and I even get to answer it ! Coinky-dink? I think NOT! Aaaaaaannyway,

A: Lexi's personality is identical to mine. Sasha's is a lot like daddy's and Maddie is just the red-headed step child - her personality would have to be compared to Adam Sandler's character Billy Madison - which is also weird because that is in the today's DOTD story and the dog's name is Madison, Maddie for short named after Billy Madison! Anyway, Maddie is a big, loveable spaz - that is where I come up with the comparison.

Q: Do you have a scrapbook or photo albums made up just for your pets?

I don't but I think this question just gave me the idea! I should have done this ages ago!
