FREAP CHAT Part 2 ~ Everyone Welcome to our new digs

[TinkerBean]

Thanks everyone, Flint (the yorkie) is sitting here curled up next to me missing his companion. Jeankeri - your avatar is too cute. What kind of dog is he/she?

Hadley, you have to share what you were trying to do...

 

[jeankeri]

Well TinkerBean, I really have 5 dogs and 2 cats, just like my siggy! The dogs are Billie the coon hound mix (saved from shelter), Buttercup the pomeranian (from breeder), Annie the dauschund (sp?- also from a breeder), Daisy the beagle (saved from a roadside yokel who had her tied to a tire ), and Sasha the Chihuahua, (from a breeder). The cats are sibs, Raven (girl) and Spot (boy).
I know what you mean about Flint. If one of the sisters is at the vet overnight, or Buttercup is at the groomer for the day, the rest of the pack gives me the hairy eye-ball until the missing girl returns!!

 

[TinkerBean]

Your house sounds like ours - 2 dogs, Flint(yorkie) and Violet (pug), 3 cats, Daisy, Nemo(or Kiki as my DS calls her) and Dorothy, Elvis (guinea pig),and 2 little girl rats, Aphrodite and Peanut...

Oh yeah and 2 kids Max and Sarah

 

[jeankeri]

We had a beta named Tom for a little while, actually maybe 1 1/2 years?, but I really couldn't keep up with the tank cleaning, water temp regulation,etc and Tom is no longer with us. Actually, there was also a Tom 2 and Tom 3, but the boys never really caught on. They might have started catching on with Tom 3, since my ex brought home a red beta, and Tom (and Tom 2) were more of a royal blue/purple blend! He told the boys the water had to be treated for rust and Tom had a reaction to it. When Tom 3 passed, I found honesty, and he is buried in our flower bed in a Whitman's candy box.

 

[TinkerBean]

Oh, Poor Tom and Tom 2 and Tom 3

We had a couple of Betas too. DS's was named Christopher (for Christopher Robin) and DD was named....drum roll please

FISHY

They too lasted about 1 year -

I also had one of those very cute dwarf african frogs...his name was Rufus. He lived about 4 years - he is buried in the garden under a little frog garden statue from the Xmas tree shop. Ugh - God forbid we ever move away from this house, the whole side yard is a pet cemetary of fish, hamsters, frogs, unfortunate squirrel and birds from the neighborhood

'morning, I've been up for awhile

I'm pretty sure I haven't been to bed for several days now. At least it feels that way. I worked until 11:00 last night but then had to stop at the grocery. Every time I do that when I'm tired I just stand staring at things like an imbecile. I'm sure the staff at Meijer's see me coming in and whisper to each other "There's that crazy lady who stares at the milk. Stay FAR away from her." So, after wandering around for about 45 minutes just trying to find the 4 or 5 items on my list, I had to do the 45 minute drive home with my companion of a large bag of jalapeno cheetos(I love those things) to keep me awake. And I was sooooo sleepy on the drive so why was it when I finally got into bed about 1:00 that I was wide awake? Not sure what time I fell asleep but it took a long time and then my adorable little darlings decided 6:25 was a good time to get up. So here I am.

TinkerBean-I hope you get some good news about your doggy today.

Hi Freaps,

I just got a call from vet and there is nothing they can do for Violet. Dh is coming home now to drive me to the hospital, so we can be there when they put her to sleep...I am so heartbroken. I can't stop crying.
