Q & A Game!

[Rosey]

Hi and I must say first that it is so touching to the heart to hear how so many people that truly love their pets on this board!

A; Since I'm a big fan on rescuing animals that no one wants I would have to go with the hienz 57 mutt. As I'm sure the other one will have no problem in finding a home!

Q; I heard on a T.V show when they were talking about pets their dog always sleeps in their bed at night and it hogs most of it. Do you ever or would you consider letting your pet sleep in your bed?

[zippy-kat]

Growing up, the dog was never allowed on the bed/furniture. Our kitties were allowed to occupy any piece of furniture they saw fit. Right now, the only animal I have living with me is my house bun, Sophie. AND BELIEVE ME...I have TRIED to get her to sleep with me. It just doesn't work! There's nothing like a 5lb bunny hurling herself at you at 2am, waking you from a dead sleep...or waking you up chewing on the carpet...or waking you up burrowing under the covers! lol (Gave me quite a fright until I discovered what it was! lol) She will take naps with me during the day, but since buns are nocturnal...she just can't be good! lol I'd LOVE for her to sleep with me though! (She actually did one night...it was storming and I think she was frightened of the lightning...but that has been the ONLY time she's made it through the complete night).

Q. What is the strangest thing you have ever caught your pet doing?

[crow_noir]

yes, i always try to get King to sleep w/ us but he refuses to stay on the bed. (it's not right for a subordanate to do such things.) *shrug* if that's what makes you happy. though, we do wish we had a king sized bed so all three of us would fit comfortably. (the two of us fight for space as it is. well, we have it finally worked out verbally.)

Q:if you could have a cross of ANY two animals, what would it be? (dog/wolf, orangatang/monkey, domestic cat/bobcat, etc. don't count)

[Rosey]

A;I'm stumped on that one I'm going to leave this for someone who would like to answer that!



Q; I saw on The Animal Planet you can brush your pets teeth do you do it or take it to the Vets. to have it done?

[Dixieland Dancer]

The ultimate mix has already been done. It produced the Golden Retriever!

I do brush my Dixie's teeth. Dusty still has baby teeth (that are falling out left and right) so I don't do his yet but I will. I had to take my first two Goldens to the vet to have it done after the buildup got real bad. The dogs needed to be put under anesthesia to do this. I just think it's easier on the dogs and less expensive for the humans to do this task. They get use to it just like brushing or any other grooming practice.

Q: If something were to happen to you (God forbid) do you have someone lined up to take care of your pets and adopt them?

[Rosey]

A; Yes I thought of that and it's good to think ahead as you never know what tommorrow will bring! My daughter


Q; Everyone loves their pet here Does any one cook meals for their lovely's? Maybe not all the time but as a treat? Or give human food maybe?

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

A. I try not to give Drake any people food. I do know that somethimes her may get bored with dry IAMs and so I give him cooked chicken and broth over his food or tuna sometimes. I am a vegiterian, so the chicken, tuna and the broth is cooked just for him. So, I guess you can say that I make him special meals from time to time.

Q. What car would you think would match their personality and attitude?

[NoahsMommy]

A: Noah would drive a nice car, like a Mercedes or a Jag, but then, he would rip out the upholstery, jump against all the windows (maybe he would enjoy a convertible?) and drag all of his toys in it. He would have to have a glass of my water in the cup holder at all times and wouldn't drive without me or his daddy...maybe we could make him a CD to put in there!

Q: If you could have an pet in the whole world (it would be safe and OK with the animal), what would you like to have?

[catwoman]

A: A timber wolf. I've always loved them, since I used to volunteer at a wolf habitat and got to help raise/socialize wolf pups.

Q: What is the spookiest "knowing before it happens" thing your pet does?

[BandiTank]

One day our Arabian horse just started running around the pasture (which looked beautiful) and freaking out, the dogs weren't even chasing him. We couldn't even get him to come to his bowl for meal time. About an hour and a half later a huge wind storm picked up. He was in his barn for the rest of the night.

QUESTION: (I don't know if this question has been asked but oh well) If you could have ONE pet back for a day that has crossed to the Rainbow Bridge, which one would it be?

Oh, and about that question "What made you be an animal lover?" I just thought I would say about when I started really loving animals. Well, I have always loved animals becuase I have grown up around them. But I became a true dog lover when I was at a freind's house (I was maybe 4 or 5 years old) and their dog was playing with their cat. I was pulling on the dog's collar (for some stupid reason) and he turned around and pined on the floor, I thought he was just playing with me because wasn't growling or biting me. He bit me on the arm, not very hard but enough to scare me half to death. He didn't break the skin or anything. I went home and about 2 weeks later we went back and they werent home. The dog was outside at the time and he ran around the house stodd up on his hind legs and gave me a big kiss. That's when I started loving dogs!

The pet i really want back is my black goldfish that i named Puff Daddy. Back then i loved the rapper puff daddy and the fish was black, he was puffy and it was a boy!

I would like to answer two questions! I would want my first Golden back. Her name was Taffy and she taught me about unconditional love. I got her in my late teens when I was going through emotional termoil. Without her I am scared to think what I might of done with my life. Thank God he brought her into my life when he did and made her my best friend!

My favorite magazine is The Whole Dog Journal. I look forward to the training and informational articles each month.

Q: Do you have a way of identifying your pet if someone ever stole it and claimed it as their own when you found it?

I have a friend who had this happen and the person who stole the dog was awarded the dog in court because possession is 9/10ths of the law and my friend had no way to prove the dog was hers. It left her heartbroken. My pets are all microchipped and tatooed.

[3-greys-and-a-mutt]

Of course the dogs all wear licenses, ID tags, rabies tags, etc. - the usual 'removable' forms of ID. Our greyhounds all came with tattoos in both ears. Pup is not microchipped or tattooed; I guess if something happened to her, and I had to prove she was mine, I'd have to pull out her x-rays.

Q: Who is you favorite pet movie/TV star? (ex. Hooch on Turner and Hooch, Eddie from Frasier....)

[Rosey]

A; That is a tuff one as to name just one How about the Taco Bell Dog!


Q; That question made me think of this one
On T.V You see alot of animals dogs, cats, horses, and many more if you could get to pick one for yourself as your very own and it would come true "What animal would you pick?

[purrley]

Answer: Even though I'm a cat person I have always wanted a collie like Lassie - smart,
loyal and loving

Question:
If you could become one of your animals what would they think of you?
