    Let's see, I have outside pets and inside pets. The inside pets are my Birds, 3 Cockatiels and 2 Parakeets. I had a Beta but he froze when we had an Ice Storm.
    Outside we have 11 dogs or 14 now that the puppies have arrived. Four Rabbits, 24 goats, two cows ( we had 17 but sold them cuz of the drought), chickens( I dont' know how many cuz they wont be still long enough to count) about 16 guienies, a Horse(stubborn and won't let anyone ride her) and a Burro (who only lets me ride him)..
    I wonder if crystals are considerd pets as they are living and do grow.

    We have them fenced off and the dogs in nice roomy kennels so there's no need fer watchen' where ya step.. we learned to keep the pets and the grandkids seperated cuz of aboved mentioned problem..We had 164 pigs at one time, but got out of the pig biz'ness a few yrs back. Then pigs have up to 13 pigglets at once and when they start comin' you can get up to 1,000 little piggies runnin' this way and that squeelin' like crazy. We started out with one Bore and three sows and in two yrs we had almost 200 pigs. The original 4 we started with were pets and the kids rode on the Bore's back he was so gental. But it's hard to keep all the off spring as pets.. ran out of names...lol

    6 totally useless cats-- though I haven't seen the two oldest for a week (knock on wood!). Want some?


    The 4 kittens are pretty well grown and have taken to sleeping in a big heap on my legs at night. Usually, I'm drunk and don't notice them, but a week ago I got a pinched nerve in my right leg-- I mean it some hurt! The last few nights I was sober, and chased them off and my leg is getting better. Soon, it will be warm enough, and out they go for good.

    When I was about 16, I had a pet coon. I bottle-fed it and when it got big enough, I built a big pen in the backyard. Bugbear was its name. It followed me everywhere, crawled up my back and sat on my head. When I ran away the next year to Greenwich Village, it escaped the pen and never came back. Just as well-- they can get meaner than hell when they're grown.

    haha pet rock reminded me of when on the "year 6 funday" (like a fate run by kids) at my old primary school me and my friend made pet rocks to sell and they came clothes and a box and an instruction seat with tircks such as "how to teach your pet rock to stay - place rock down, step back telling the rock to stay, keep repeating this, after a while you will notice that, indeed, the pet rock has stayed. well done."

    I the first commune I stayed at was in Portland, OR. I got there at like three in the morning and slept on the floor. The next morning I woke to this monkey on my chest hissing at me. What a start! He went through my pack and broke every roll of film and pulled it all out into a big knot. Polly I think her name was. Becky owned this thing and always had poop and piss on her shoulder.
    It turned out there were many of these monkeys, all related. Somebody's monkey was always lose and in the trees at the park. You don't catch a monkey until they are ready to be caught. Polly's father was owned by a junky down the street and was the meanest thing I ever saw.

    fylthevoyd--- You actually had a possum! And, litter-trained it! That I find hard to believe-- if God put a stupider creature on the face of the earth, I have yet to encounter it. I used to catch the worthless fucks in coon and fox traps and I would turn them loose after they ruined the set. The dumb bastards wouldn't even try to bite-- just hiss like a goddamn snake. We used to catch them by the tail when they ran across the road and throw them in bar-rooms where we were flagged.


    We strode the earth like giants back in the day.

    7 inside cats. "The Pride" mentality reigns supreme. 3 outside cats. "The Hunters". 2 Fischer (I just wanna make love to you) Love Birds. More sex in that cage than the Playboy Channel.
