    Not sure, but wait till he poos! We had one swimming around with the poo hanging off him for hours, once.

    Currently, we share the house with 5 cats. 2 have been with us for 3 years, 2 kittens we adopted yesterday, and 1 kitten we foster until he can find his forever home :D

    A pug and a jack Russell. We did have five jug puppies for a few months but just the 2 now!!

    I love my dogs, they really helped my depression, I don't know how but just having my pug cuddle me and want a walk really helped get me out of the house and feel better.

    Two cats and a few of the suckler cows could definitely be counted as outdoor pets. One of them always marches straight up to me in the field and wallops her great big head onto my shoulder so I can scratch her neck. She's called Noo Noo after the hoover thing in Teletubbies cause she eats everything, the great big eejit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,180 ✭✭✭Mena


    Get the fish out of the bowl and do some research ffs. You'll have the poor thing swimming in **** infested acid soon enough.

    2 dogs. My son has goldfish who are currently "on holiday" ie dead but he doesn't need to know that, I'm going to have to replace them, longest holiday ever at this stage.

    Will you turn them into burgers ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 791 ✭✭✭georgefalls


    I had to take my goldfish to the vet, as it had epilepsy.

    The vet said it looked all right to him. I said wait until I take it out of the bowl

    Hate dogs would never have one. Sitting around licking their own asshole and sniffing others then they go and lick the owner all friendly like. Cute fcukers.

    Goldfish live 20 - 40 years and grow to nearly a foot in length. Don't keep them in bowls.

    Ah ya but they never live 20-40 years. Their lovely owners usually kill them well in advance.

    Can't really call them pets so if your going to send them off to be shot in the head , hung upside down and bled dry , before being skinned and broken down on an industrialised conveyor belt for consumption , just saying like

    TBH, I enjoy dogs more than I enjoy most humans... and you sound like most humans.

    Can't run a farm without knowing they're going for slaughter eventually but you're as well make the best of the time you have with them.

    Goldfish, some chickens, we keep two
    Pigs too, but they're in the freezer at the moment - will get two more soon though, can't beat pets that you get to eat too ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,275 ✭✭✭bpmurray


    An aging labrador, a rescue labrador cross (crossed with a garbage disposal, I think), two cats (survivors from an abandoned litter) and about 100000 bees.

    I have a dog. She is a great dog the best anyone could ask for until every once in a blue moon she ****s in herself. Don,t know who she is expecting to pick the **** of her because it certainly ain't me. Any idea,s how to clean without touching it is welcome.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,194 ✭✭✭foxy farmer


    Got Bobby from a relation who was thinking of putting him down as he was too boisterous around her daughter. Bit of a nuisance as he chases the cattle, he sheds huge quantities of hair for around 3 months in the spring and the fecker has an unreal appetite. Some sort of crossbreed. Loves nothing more than going for a spin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,514 ✭✭✭bee06


    Don't have any and don't get the whole concept either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,794 ✭✭✭Aongus Von Bismarck


    Yes, 2 cats. Hopkins is a neutered tom, and Pluck is an adorable and fluffy neutered female. It wasn't my idea to get cats in the first place, but I've grown rather fond of them.

    We had a cat until yesterday. He passed away. Very tough when you become attached. I urge people to consider this before they welcome a new member to the family as they are gone before you know it :(

    I have 2 dogs - 4 year old Labrador and a 13 year old Labrador X

    We had a goldfish once, jumped out of the bowl in the middle of the night landed slap bang in the middle of the floor.

    And that was the end of the goldfish.

    Sounds fishy I know but it's true


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb


    I used to have a Mongolian desert rat (Gerbil) I used to let him out and run around the house as I had all gaps in the room blocked off, but except for one which I didn't notice. There he was flying all over the place having a great time, and then he vanished all of a sudden into that hole in the wall I missed.

    A week later and I still couldn't find him, but then when I was making a cup of tea, there he was rubbing his hands over his nose looking at me beside that small hole in the wall. I never saw him after that day, he probably made it to the beach and built a new home for himself.

    I still have the odd dream after all these years wondering where he is.

    1 dog, 2 cats, an african grey parrot, a pig and 3 chickens. Latest addition is a particularly smart gun club bred pheasant who has moved in with the chickens and refuses to leave. :)

    I'd be bankrupt fairly quick if I attempted to be a farmer. I'd befriend all the animals and give 'em names and let them run around the house and basically become a parent to all of them.

    We have a cat called Captain ****s A Lot (I did not name him!), Captain for short. Then we have a kitten, Pepper, and she is my baby. I love her to pieces. Caught her walking on the road this evening and nearly had a heart attack!

    We also look after my boyfriend's sisters dog, Molly. She's the cutest dog. When we come home she strips her teeth at us which might look scary to someone who doesn't know her but it's her way of smiling at us!

    Yeh right, a nice dog . I don't believe that for a second.... Where's the rest of the body he just eat . I see what's left of the shoe that was on that bloke .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,973 ✭✭✭RayM


    I have no pets. I want to get a dog, but it's not really possible at the moment. I'd really like a rough collie.

    Two dogs and a goldfish that snuck in last week, pretty quite around these parts at the moment. It gets busy when school shuts down at the end of the month.

    It didn't! We were out somewhere and when we came back, my little sister, who was about 3 at the time, came running into us holding it by the tail!

    And a partridge in a pear tree? :D:P

    As for myself, a sheepdog, a brillopad terrier, a white and grey rough haired terrier (or little scut as we call him), a big beagle (or bagel as they are called out Wesht) and last but certainly not least a big, cuddledy sheepdog. And one surviving cat.
    The other two cats died withing a month of each other, they were 15 and 20 years old, so a bit sad but they had very nice and long lives.
    If I could swing it to be able to lick my bum on the couch for a living and have someone bring me food, I would do it. :D;)
