Why do people treat their animals as if they're human... to the point of attributing Starcraft racial preferences and skill level to said pet... yeah I'm looking at you Cheekyduck... But in a general sense as well, why? It's creepy. My cat has an "official" name for paperwork but I just call it bitchkitty cause its an asshole and fucks my shit up. Every night it's knocking down my 75 dollar headset and my razer mouse off my desk... I'm going to murder it one night... Oh and it screwed my blinds up. Thinking about putting depressants in its food. No pics, cause i hate it.

I hope you're not serious D: Animals > people. The majority of dogs I've met are nicer than most people I've met ^^ I <3 animals and I miss my dog way too much D:

I've grown really fond of small dogs, chihuahuas, spitzes, corgis and all that jazz. Really clean dogs that keep their hygiene pretty well. Also super duper cuddly and are extremely good companions.

Anybody who says they don't like small dog has not had a small dog :D

That's awesome, only tricks my dog managed to learn is sit, lie down, stay and jump. And since he grew older, he stopped taking bribes, and now is only obedient when he knows you're watching -_-.

Still luv him tho! ♥

After the recent RIP pet thread i needed to go post a picture of my current cats becuase i realised how much i actually love them and would cry when they pass on

The one on the left is called Stella shes a girl, has a pink Splodge on her nose Such a talkative cat.. its ridiculous just meow all day long... She loves it rough.. i mean seriously you can pet her AS hard as u like, give her little mini punches (obviously not enough to hurt her) and she just loves it rolls over purr's

The one on the right is my man toby .. He has a little white mustache .. its insane :D when he jumps up places he will do this crazy "meow" like a delayed meow he never really talks much, you go in the kitchen and hes hungry he will just sit there and wait no meowing .. Where as my other cat will CRY and scream for food, This cat is seriously the coolest cat ever if there was ever a laidback motherfucking cat it is this man... Hes a bit of a mincer tho.. Stella is game she will fight any cat, one time she was fighting another cat in our kitchen *(a male much bigger) and she chased him out and kept fighting him into another garden.. where as toby will just run in the house and puff up ! I just love how much personality cats have.. Life is awsome

This is Fox. She likes to lay in the sink, on the fridge, and on my shoulder when I'm playing SC2.

Crash (the big one, my roomates dog) and Penny (the puppy, my dog) the day I adopted Penny...

Penny at about a year old... Notice the strange way she's sitting...

And here's the sad pictures...

And the story behind it:

October 2008 I adopt a puppy! yay!

November 2008 puppy has a slight limp. I take her to the vet, gets Xrays, and diagnosed with a 'Luxating Patella'... It's common in small dogs, basically her kneecap was moving around to where it shouldn't be and ended up on the side of her leg. There is surgery to fix this, but the vet tells me they need to wait until she's full grown or there's a very good chance it'll just end up happening again.

June 2009, I bring her in to fix the Luxating Patella, and get the bad news. The luxating patella was just a symptom of the much larger problem, her leg has grown 'twisted'... basically just slightly turned. My vet is an old guy, and he said this is by far the worst case he has ever seen. Lucky for me, in Fort Collins there is a very respected vet school, one of the teachers there literally wrote a book about exactly what my dog has, so my vet makes an appointment for me to go see him.

July 2009, I go see the expert. He says that he can fix it, but... It's a very intense surgery, they open her up, crack the leg, twist it to where it 'should' be. BUT, even then she had very bad arthritis in that leg, having the surgery wouldn't have significantly improved the quality of life, and it would have cost me $3500. I currently work a pretty shitty job, I make enough to pay my bills on time, but I simply don't have that much cash laying around. Amputating it would 'only' cost $1000.

TL;DR Dog was broke, this was the best thing to fix it.
