What pets do you have?
I am interested what pets every one has. I have two old Standard Schnauzers (one of which knew I had breast cancer but I fobbed his sniffing off as being a sticky beak at the time), a rosella called Arnie because he will rip your fingers off like Arnold Schwartzeneggar as quick as you like and he is the boss of us. I also have about 15 aquariums with mostly pleco L number catfish and guppies and cherry shrimp.

- I have two dogs. A boofus boy who's just turned nine. Border Collie x Lab. He's very intelligent, gets agitated when I leave the house, greets me like a I'm a popstar and comes with me on my walks. Extremely communicative, obsessed with tennis balls, a power chewer with the softest mouth, reads body language and loves to be in physical contact.
The other dog arrived with my niece and nephew when they came to live with me. She's a 3yo Brussels Griffon and just wants to sit in your lap. All day! She's very sweet, a bearded lady who likes eye contact and a bit of tug-of-war with a dog toy. She's adorable and everyone wants to take her home with them. - Aren't pets just the best for helping us through. Gorgeous photos
- This is the best ! Our poochies Mia (left) and dudley sat by my feet when I was bombed on the couch during chemo and motivated me to walk every day we also have a really lazy cat called dusty
- I have 3 horses and 1 dog. They keep me sane.
- I love this thread. My life would not be the same without my furbabies. I have one mini schnauzer and another mini schnauzer cross. Betsie and Millie.
This is our fur baby Bella. She is a miniature fox terrier. She gets very excited when we have visitors and loves the grandchildren . When I'm not feeling well she will come and lay quietly by my side.- The rare time they sit long enough together. Scoots (white boy) and Charli (grey girl).
- The attached photo will explain it all at our place. I have three bosses !
This picture shows the first time all have shared the one mat at the same time (a week or so ago).
Felines are 10 and 7, the Labbie is just over two and a half.
Summer - @Unicornkisses you have officially made me a jealous as anything. A horse! Drooling. I had to give all of mine up in my late 20's when I got married. Gosh I don't think I have even been ON a horse since and to think I used to make a living breaking them in and contract mustering cattle. Horses have very special souls and one stopped me from committing suicide when I was 21. Very special souls indeed. <3
Here's a question, did anyone of you notice your pets became rather defensive and protective of you when you had cancer? I am one year survivor now but one of my dogs was really quite agro especially to other dogs. Now she is still a little excitable but no where near the I want to kill it that she was when I was sick.
