Just an idle thread for us pet owners.
Tell us about your mascots. What kind, personalities, funny stories, etc.
(P.S. Pet Rocks and chia pets don't count :D)
Princess: A 2 year old adopted black Border Collie mix. We got her last September at a local adoptothon - she's cute, 35 pounds and the most sedate, agreeable canine you've ever met. She also answers to Hotaru.
Nimrod: Take everything Dune just said, and grab the opposite. Nimrod's a great dane/brazilian mastiff cross. He's only a few months old but he's already a huge dog. He's not cute at all, barks a lot, destroys anything left lying on the ground, consumes all food, and has a habit of waking me up by walking into my room and leaping on my bed.
He's impressively strong, too, which means my sister can't walk him, and my mother doesn't want to. Oh, woe!
A thriving venus flytrap with a playful tendancy to eat unfortunate spiders.
Eight-legged bastards.
I have named it 'Charley', and need to get it to stop fighting with Peter's cat, Punk.
Spot: A stereotypical black and white oreo cat. He's about...11 now and in good health, aloof, standoffish and very claw-y. We got him from a litter my aunt's cat in the country had, and he's pretty much an antisocial mouser. He also has a perverse fascination with my Mom's panties - no, I don't understand this one, either.
Dax: A declawed three-year-old tabby I picked up from one of my old supervisors when he had to move out of state. She tends to be pretty skittish most of the time, but if she gets settled in on my lap she's very vocal about getting dislodged.

Really? That's cool.

My laptop is called...
Just kidding.
Haven't had a pet in a number of years. Last one I had was a massive six foot long creature trained to kill and eventually released into a small elementary school. Well, something like that. Iggy was a pretty foul tempered Iguana who was calm enough when he was out but never quite learned that the quickest way to lose his dinner was to repeatedly whip the arm putting it into his rather sizable cage area. Parent let him go sometime after some fairly nasty unrelated stuff, so I've no idea where he is.

My baby parakeets are finally starting to get along. Yay! Now I have to convince Mom not to shove her arm in the cage and scare the birds. She really wants to hold one.

New parakeets, or found the old ones? ^_^
Never found the old ones ;.;

Doberman Pincer named Kaiser. Broke 120 pounds a couple weeks ago, and is a giant, goofy puppy. The kenel owner said he's never seen a Dobie as big as Kaiser =p
I have a 5 inch one eyed worm named Capta...
OW THE ROTTEN TOMATOES THEY BURN.

That's awesome. Did you ever get any pictures of Kaiser online, Iddy?
