Thread: Welcome to the Furkids Corner!

We have lots of proud pet owners here, so I thought I'd open up a spot for folks to discuss their special furry family members and general pet chat.

Besides, I really like those cute pet pix!

Hope you like it!

Happy Furkid Chat, Folks!

Oh kewl, Dixie!!!
Bet we'll get lots of little in here!!! Yay!!!

Thanks for starting us a furplace for our furkids!

I love it! Very cool idea, Dix. This is going to be a busy place.

This is something good that lots of folks will enjoy.

Great idea, Dixie.

For those whose pets don't have fur (birds, fish, snakes, rats, etc.), - I hope that these are welcome, too. After all, a pet is a pet, regardless of what it is, or whether we think it's a good pet or not. If it's loved and taken care of by its owner, then I suppose it could be lumped in with the "fur" kids!

I knew a woman who had an iguana - a beautiful creature, and she doted on it. Didn't have a speck of fur!

Thanks, Dixie. Everyone loves to share their fur/feather/scale kids tales and pictures.

oh absolutely, nita! i was gonna say i don't discriminate based on fur, but actually, i kinda do.

i hate tarantulas, and it's their furry legs that especially creep me out...but for the purposes of the forum, no...

We used to have tarantulas living in the yard next door, and they'd come to "visit" us! Haven't seen one in years. I don't currently have pets, unless you count the lizards living in my office at work. I'll see one nearly every day climbing the wall behind my computer monitor. I think it's more than one, because they seem to be different sizes, not longer than 6 inches, though. They're too fast to really get a good look at. They crawl up behind the bulletin board on the wall. The wall is brick, so they get a good grip for crawling. Since we get spiders in here, too, I welcome my new little "pets" because I know they'll eat the spiders!

....REALLY EEEEW...and more!!!
I would've had to be admitted to the cardiac ward if that happen to me!!!!!!!!! Of course I don't see me checking under ANYTHING where something with 6 legs(or more) would live.

Sorry....I know it's live and let live, but.....the only good spider is a DEAD spider!!!!!!! ack!!!!!!!!!

now i've got quite the mental image in my head....making mental note to stay AWAY from the undersides of houses....eek!

well, the drunken squirrel story at least doesn't sound so disturbing, although the lady chased would probably disagree...

no...it would disturb the heck outta me if it was happening to me, no kidding...but then there's the comic element of the story, too. i have to admit i have to chuckle at what a vivid mental image that makes...
