    We have:
    Blue Damsels
    Yellow Tang
    Foxface
    Fire Shrimp
    Sand Goby
    Hermit Crabs

    We will be getting more but the tank was only setup in March so we are only adding new things gradually to stop the water becoming too polluted:o

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,882 ✭✭✭fozzle


    We've one male Shih-Tzu and one cat, our four kittens all moved to their two new homes at the weekend. We're thinking about a female Shih-Tzu (with potential puppy-joy). Planning a tropical fish tank too. I'd love to get some hamsters and some terrapins but with our giddy pets I'm not sure it'd be a good plan.

    1 dalmatian ( like having 3 extra kids )


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 923 ✭✭✭VERYinterested


    I'm getting a Kerry Blue on Saturday, 5 month old female and I can't wait! Our last dog, an Irish Terrier died in May 2008 and we've only just come around to owning another dog. The death of a treasured pet is very traumatic, but I think (in hindsight) the best thing is to get straight back in again soon after. I think we waited too long but can't wait to make up for lost time.

    Plus we've got hundreds of birds visiting the back garden, (I know they don't count as pets) but some are very familiar to us, amazing what a few fat balls, peanuts and Nyger seed will do to transform the place!

    Just two cats right now, sometimes more when we are foster parents to a few kittens a couple of times a year. :)

    We have two cats and are thinking of fostering kittens with the DSPCA, but i was concerned that they wouldnt allow us cos we already have 2 cats. Obviously no problems no?? :)

    We have 2 Westies but we also do Doggie Daycare in our home so we always have a variety of them that we treat like our own but I don't think there is any beating the first list!

    Wow! That is some list.

    Moi?

    3 dogs
    5 horses
    And a bonsai tree called James.

    Why James?
    I've got a young un-named chilli tree,
    A German Shepherd/Doberman mix called Molly (really clever and brilliant guard dog).
    A gorgeous but dumb Doberman (Nigel) and a really destructive baby Rottie called Ella, a demanding cat (The Boss) called Cathy, 5 Horses, and 2 Tortoises, (Smiff and Mr Jones).

    Can't beat your list but I do have:

    1 Marine fish tank
    1 Russian Tortoise
    1 Tortoiseshell Cat
    1 Japanese Spitz
    1 Chihuahua
    1 Rottweiler pup

    The Russian tortoise, thats the land one right? Saw a tiny baby one, the size of a Kinder Egg during the week in a pet shop and am hoping to get him. Can you tell me a bit about the needs of them? Are they easy to keep?

    Back on topic,
    I have 2 dalmatians,
    1 shih tzu terrier cross,
    A Russian Blue cross cat.

    The pets I've ever had:
    4 dalmatians
    1 shih tzu terrier cross
    1 sausage dog
    1 koi carp
    I'd say about 40+ gold fish
    3 budgies
    and frogs . . .lots of frogs :P

    Just have one spoilt cat. Got her from collon animal sanctuary when she was 5/6 weeks old and she's grown into the bossiest little cat. She decided that by pillow was her new bed, so now i get a tiny little corner to rest my weary head and she's spread out snoring every night.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,770 ✭✭✭Jen Pigs Fly
