Calling all Fur-parents!

[froggyfrog]

Here are my boys, Syris is a 9 month old Great Dane and Shepherd mix, and Cashus is a 4 month old boxer.

I was looking at your ticker and thought your boys are just babies, then I saw that pic of you holding one and was like WHOA! That's a big baby!

 

[froggyfrog]

Lol! My tickers are just saying when we brought them home!

But yes he is a big baby, he weighs almost 80 lbs! But he still has that puppy mind and is always wanting to be held, especially since we brought home Cashus, he gets a little jealous!

 

[LillyTame]

That is just too cute!

goofy dogs!
oh, and congrats on the upcoming baby.

Well, my foster gerbils are gone to their forever home now. They were not pregnant after all. I haven't met their new home, but I do know they have been renamed Elsa and Anna, I think. You know, the characters from Frozen. I haven't actually seen the movie myself

I am now fostering a trio of baby male gerbils. They are so adorable! They were born in foster care so they got lots of human contact. I had them out earlier (in a large box) and one of them kept jumping on my hand as soon as I approached. The other two are a bit more skittish. I think being separated from their mom was a bit of a shock. They still hide a lot.
One of them is getting adopted already.
I am thinking of being really selfish and adopting the other two. I say selfish because I know they are highly adoptable: they are still babies, different colors (yes, it helps getting them adopted if people can tell them apart!) and so friendly. I just dread the day when that little blond boy will be gone.
If I don't adopt them, I could remain available to foster more gerbils in need.
It's a though decision.

Here's my favorite little guy:

The look on the dogs face is priceless.

 

[LillyTame]

Awww, he reminds me of a little Chipmunk!

 

[GingerPanda]

Awww, the gerbils are cute!

 

[Marie000]

Awww, the gerbils are cute!

Thanks.

I am really leaning towards adopting them. I even started looking for names.

 

[LillyTame]

Marie! I ended up dreaming about them! I dreamed I was looking at them with my OH and trying to convince him to get one and he agreed but he wanted your little blonde guy and I was like no, she really wants to keep that one, let's get the multi-colored one. But he was so set on the blonde one

 

[GingerPanda]

I think hubs has decided that he wants to get a uromastyx once Lucina is old enough to appreciate having something so cool in the house.

[LillyTame]

Wow, that is pretty cool, I have never heard of that before.

 

[GingerPanda]

They actually make great pets for kids, because they are SO TAME. Just super chill. My aunt owned a pet store when I was like 14, and I would just get one and let him ride around on my shoulder while I helped out.

I don't have a furbaby, I have a fid (feathered kid) Scully, our almost 2 year old cockatiel. He's been the best pet we have ever had, period. He cuddles and snuggles and sings and talks. With our DD (4 years old) he's skittish, but they've slowly started bonding more.

[LillyTame]

Oh how cute! Fid (feathered kid), I like that! What does Scully sing?

 

[laurac1988]

Ooohhhhh a cockatiel! We had two of those growing up. Benny and spike. They were awesome.

 

[EleanoirRigby]

Oh how cute! Fid (feathered kid), I like that! What does Scully sing?

He's such a ham, his first song was the Superman theme song. He also does the Andy Griffith theme song & the theme to My Neighbor Totoro

His vocabulary is ever growing and some of it includes: baby bird, whatcha doin' (usually followed by "baby bird"), I love you, be good, hello, happy, momma (usually a "Momma's bird"), hey good lookin', Scully, pretty boy.
