Pet Lovers: Remember the Pet Calendar??

[vettechick99]

One last thing: the chickens are, in essence, rescues (or at least are descendants of a rescue). My parents'd never had chickens till one day, a hen picked up and left one of their neighbors and opted to set up shop in my parents' barn. We cleverly named her "Chicken," and she became part of the family. She came when she was called, just like a dog, running full-sprint from the barn down to the house. When I'd go out to the house to help my mom in the garden, Chicken would always be right at my side (or my mom's) waiting for us to hand-feed her any worms we came across while digging in the soil. She followed us around, just like a puppy. Eventually, my parents "borrowed" a neighbor's rooster for a bit so Chicken could have some babies, and ever since, there've been a couple dozen chickens roaming around the joint. Best eggs you've ever tasted, too; store-bought ones don't hold a candle to them.

OK!, I've enjoyed reading about your pets...horseback-riding chickens is hysterical! Must be fun to hang out at your family's houses!

It's a zoo. Every time I housesit for my parents (which is fairly often, what with their being DVC members now and all), I always feel like I need a vacation afterward!

It's never boring, though, and there's something to be said for that.

They are HUGE camera hogs, if you couldn't tell.

This is Bingo, who we got from a rescue organization the day they rescued him from a shelter. He is believed to be about 2 years old, and is a Jack Russell Terrier "mix" (the mix is most likely dacshund (sp?)). He was heartworm positive when rescued, and that is the most likely reason he was "abandoned" as he is the most loving and most well trained dog I have ever seen. He is now heartworm free, and the best pet in the world IMHO!

 

[CookieGVB]

Wow - he looks so much like our beagle, Reilly - just with shorter ears.

Cute pets!!! My guys want to play, too!

Here's Sambuca, our 14 year old Lab mix. Found her at the pound as a tiny little 5 pound furball when she was just 6 weeks old:

And here's our newest addition, our little beagle Jessie. Cute but very stubborn! She's about 4 years old, and was picked up as a stray by animal control:

A stubborn beagle???? Say it ain't so!! Reilly'd give her a run for her money, I'll bet.
