Title: Shipyarders pets
Post by: Clonehead on December 29, 2008, 05:56:52 PM
I thought that it might be nice to start a thread for the yarders to post pics of their pets.
  I will start out with a couple of Christmas pics of my crazy Manx cat, Nubber. (so named for her nub where a cat's tail should be)

And here are a couple of shots of a couple of my dad's cats.
  The first is the 30 lb bohemoth named Redman. The second is a mounted bobcat that he just picked up at a gunshow and pulled out right around the time I started snapping Christmas pics. Redman was none too impressed with the bobcat. I thought that this mount looked pretty impressive. What say you, Chad?

Good idea Clint. I will try to get some updated shots of my behemoth up tomorrow. I think Merlin may be able to put a run on your dad's cat. That bobcat mount looks good to me.

Here's a pic of my German Shepherd aptly named Vader out in yet another of our snowstorms tonite, (that's another story but we had 45 inches of snow just in Dec alone.)

Vader is a nice looking pooch there, Wayne.
  Here is a shot taken this fall of Nubber spooking over our Halloween decorations.

Here is a couple shots of Nubber lounging around in a way that a tailed cat wouldn't. What a goof.

That is hilarious. I need to take some shots of the menagerie that is my home pets sometime this week.

Well we broke down and got a little kitty last month.  Got him from the Humane Society.  He is a handful and he likes to bite and bite hard.  Not too fond of that, hoping he will grow out of it soon.

In the middle of unpacking from my florida trip, look what I found in my suitcase.

And, this is what you get when you try to read the Sunday paper.

Here are the original animals(from when my wife and I met)

(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c196/Narceron/DSC00473.jpg)

the little orange one is catbot(RIP), the big one, Oliver(RIP), and Ms Kitty the maine coon, notice the neato haircut.

(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c196/Narceron/DSC00475.jpg)

Oliver hamming it up, he was more of a dog in a cat's body.

(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c196/Narceron/catbot.jpg)
Catbot dressed in her "Canadian Military" uniform, cats really hate clothes, but it cracked us up

we also used to rescue kittens, these little buggers were in the same folder as my own cats, so I thought I'd post them.

Title: Re: Shipyarders pets
Post by: narceron on June 07, 2009, 12:43:07 PM
actually, before we had the kid, at one time we had

1 dog
4 cats
3 rats
a ton of fish
and the occasional rescue batch of kittens(we only kept them til they hit 2lbs).

My cat loves boxes also, Jay. Any time I get a shipment or bring home a star wars vehicle box, she has to climb on top of it or sniff around inside of it.

Bambi is a dog, right?

Yeah, Clint. Her name is short for Bambina, as she is a long hair chihuahua. We have 4 long hair chihuahuas, 1 German Shepherd, and 2 miniature pincers (min pins). The Min Pins are like tiny Dobermans.

That is one cute pic, now my little gal wants a dog! I have three cats, one of which is, I am sad to say, getting pretty old. I have a bad feeling the Tamer household will be down to two cats before this year sees its end.

Sorry to hear about your older kitty.

I hate losing kitties.

I lost my 20 lb orange cat in 2005 and my little sweet orange cat this past April, I am not replacing either of them, I'm too old to go through it all again, :(

But I am going to get a dog.
Title: Re: Shipyarders pets
Post by: Tamer on August 14, 2009, 02:20:07 PM
Merlin is pretty much a fixture of the family and I will not be replacing him either. I really worry about the wife, she is gonna be inconsoleable. You can see him limp a bit as he walks now. Not a huge limp, but another sign he is starting to fade on us. He is twelve years old almost.

Post by: spudafett on August 26, 2009, 04:08:15 AM
man I've got you all beat.  I have a freaking zoo, narceron can vouch he's seen it!

lets see.  I have:
two morkie puppies, jaina and wookie.  jaina just came home with dawn yesterday....  they are crosses between yorkies and maltese.
a fully growm bearded dragon and juvenile
a Nile Monitor (who is a handfull and will bite hard)
a tokay gecko named geck
around 4 green barking tree frogs, and 3 copes grey tree frogs
3 crawdads to clean up after the frogs and gecko.... amazing how clean a crayfish will keep a fish tank!
a red tailed boa named red who has reached almost 6 feet now
a pueblo milk snake named jack (red on yellow kill a fellow, red on black friend of jack)
a black racer which is about 5 feet long
a tiny corn snake that might be 3 feet
last count was 10 red eared slider aquatic turtles
3 black bullhead catfish
a hermit crab
and crickets are usually in the house to feed all my critters.

that covers it, here are some pics of a few:

lol yeah that's the bearded dragon named spike.... or dewback if you prefer! HA

oh and I guess I should have explained WHY the snakes were in the tub.  Their cage was being cleaned and that's the only semi-secure place I had to put them.  Had I taken around 10 minutes longer though they'd have crawled over the shower door!

LOL. Good pic. I sure wish I had a walker that big when I was a kid. Speaking of the cats, just had to clean / throw away some cardboard dividers I have on said liter boxes as the daggone things won't use the middle of the box, its always one of the edges or over the side!

Title: Re: Shipyarders pets
Post by: UnitedStatesDemocrat on August 30, 2009, 02:09:33 PM
Jaina, like Jaina Solo?  It seems everyone has at least one pet with a Star Wars name.  Boba, Jodo, and Qui-Gon for me.
Title: Re: Shipyarders pets
Post by: spudafett on August 30, 2009, 09:32:39 PM
well our other dog is named Wookie! lol.  Dawn wanted to give this one a not so blatantly obvious name based in star wars that only fan's would apreciate.... so yeah, jaina as in solo.

well... on a different note Dawn is PO'ed at me.  The big black rat snake has escaped his cage and is loose SOMEWHERE in our house.  She is convinced that the last time it got out it slithered over her in her sleep and tried to wake me up and get it... I remember rolling over and telling her to "go back to sleep your dreaming" as she has a tendancy to sleep talk.  BUT... now she is freaked out about the snake being loose and not being able to find it.

it always turns up eventually... this isn't the first time we've had one get loose.  Last time the black rat snake got loose it wound up on top of the kitchen sink just hanging out.  The last time my milk snake got out the kids found it in the silverware drawer.  It was quite funny because no one even new he was loose... my youngest opened the drawer to get a fork out and screamed "Theres a snake in the drawer!!" he then jumped back and took a second look and relatively calmly said "Oh, Nevermind it's just jack!" like it was expected to find a snake in the drawer! lol

so.... wish me luck that I run across this snake sometime soon.  With my back out of whack I don't feel like moving everything around to find him.

Post by: spudafett on August 31, 2009, 12:12:28 PM
this week has been a duzy that's for shure. 

Dawn called me from the house with a great pet related story today...  she went and picked up crickets for the pets today.  now dawn is terified of crickets, she can dump them out of the container but if they even LOOK like they are even close to jumping she'll freak....  SO she told me that she got them in a paper sack cuz she forgot the container and she got home and decided she'd go ahead and feed the animals.  She said she got them in the frog cage fine as she just had to dump them in the top.  She gave some to our baby beardie and she got them in fine.  When she got to our gekko cage all hell broke loose.  The gecko's cage opens from the front and as she was pouring some in they started jumping out!  She dropped the bag wich let the rest of the crickets out in the house....   lol  she quickly grabbed our adult beardie and sat him where the crickets were and let him "vacuum" them up (that's how she put it!).  So anytime she sees a cricket on the floor she grabs spike and puts him down with it and he eats them up. 

and I still havn't found the snake.....  lol

hows that snake hunt going, spud?
Title: Re: Shipyarders pets
Post by: spudafett on September 02, 2009, 06:08:04 PM
still at large.... 

I am afraid he might have found his way out of the house by now.  If I feel up to it this weekend I'm going to completely clean out my bedroom as I fear he might also have crawled into the clothes dresser that is currently being used to store all of dawn's clothes she doesn't wear... at least that isn't a place dawn is going to be looking anytime soon! 

this is the longest he has been mia at a time.  NORMALLY I will find him within a few days in a warm spot of the house or somewhere like the kitchen sink or bathroom where there is moisture. 

Once he got out at my parents and my mom found him the next day basking in the sunbeams at our basement door. She actually surprised me by picking him up and puting him back in his cage!


lol narceron is right, my zoo is a little crazy.  I just got a shipment of 1000 crickets in the mail today... they will probably be half gone by the end of the week. 
which reminds me I need to find a container suitable for those.... they will eat through the cardboard box they came in if I don't get them moved quick enough!

Post by: spudafett on September 03, 2009, 11:25:57 AM
GREAT STORY

alright so you know how my black rat has been loose... I'm in class today and my phone rings and I ignore it... I'm in class.  Well it kept ringing, it was dawn.  She was frantically calling me freaking out needing me to be home.

I get home and she tells me to be careful opening the front door... she had found the snake.  It has been hiding in our coat rack that is hanging on the front door!  Somehow it climed the corner of the wall and stretched over and wrapped itself up inside the sleeves of the coats hanging there.  Dawn got some great pics of it sticking it's head out of the coat sleeves before I got home.  I guess it just liked the warmth of our front door and coats.  The front door faces east and is warmed by the sun all morning long and the coats hold in that heat...  He was just chillen there for who knows how long! lol

I'll post some pics she took after I get home.

Yeah, those 2 are some of the most spoiled dogs you'll ever meet.  And that blanky was made and given to me by my great grandmother when I was 4, and she died shortly afterwards.  No one is allowed to use it but me.  Period.  Not my Godchildren, dogs, wife, or anyone else.  Just mine.

sorry to hear about your cat clint... I didn't used to like cats but since I moved in with my parents and sister I've grown fond of her 3 cats.  As tempermental as they can be they are also very affectionate.

I'm afraid my bearded dragon won't last much longer.  I'll be extremely heartbroke if he goes...  he hasn't been very active, hasn't been eating well and hasn't been showing much signs of improvement. :(

Well thanks alot, guys.  I feel a bit better about it now but still miss her. After 10 years of having her, it's like losing a family member. I ended up burying her in the rock garden under the living room window where, in the spring, she will have our lion headed fountain as a headstone.

Sorry to hear about your loss of your cat CH...

It seems I'll be joining that crew soon possibly.
My little cat midnite isn't doing so hot it seems.
It's breaking my heart too be honest.

She was the first pet my wife and I had together.

I'll have to post some pics of my little ones up.

I like spuda used too have a lot of lizards and frogs.

At one time, when the wife and I had no kids(yes I worked at a petstore) we had 8 fish tanks going, sizes from 2 gal to 55 gal, 4 frog tanks, and five lizard tanks. 3 dogs, 1 cat, and three cages of birds.

Red, My Red tailed Boa passed away last night.  About 2 weeks ago he regurgitated his meal which was probably a bit too large for him, and it stressed him out pretty bad.  I believe he got a respiratory infection as he was weezing pretty badly yesterday and from everything he had to go through to regurgitate I think it dehydrated him. 
 

RIP RED

Sorry to hear about your snake spud. I once had a Green Anole Lizard that lived for 6 years. Life with him was kind of funny because my brother had 3 lizards and they all died for very weird reasons. One of them had its eyes eaten out by crickets. I was kind of sad when my Green Anole died. Now, I have 2 dogs. One is an Australian Cattle dog/ Corgi mix named Sparky, but my cousin calls him Paolo. Sparky looks like alot like a fox. My other dog is a Jack Russel/ Chihuahua mix named Bandit.
       Wait, wasn't I supposed to just say sorry instead of just telling a really long story? I don't know. Sorry again , Spud.

its ok guys.  thanks for the condolences.  I've now got a 6 foot tall empty cage in my room :(.  I don't know weather or not I'll get a new snake to replace him...

I used to have anoles as a kid, never could keep the buggers alive...

Funny story...
I went on vacation in florida a few years ago and cought alot of green anoles (they are wild there) and was going to bring them back home as pets... I also cought two cuban tree frogs.  Cuban tree frogs are very large frogs which are invasive to florida btw...  anyway... I had the anoles and the tree frogs together in the same tank for about a week as I hadn't had time to get another tank set up.  They had been fine for several days after I'd gotten back from vacation and one weekend I had to leave them alone to go out of town... when I returned I was surprised to find only one of the lizards were left in the cage with the tree frogs... and the tree frogs were fatter than I'd ever seen them. 

The cuban tree frogs ATE the lizards....  how messed up is that?!  I eventually learned just how voracious the cuban tree frogs were when I got them set up in their own terrarium and introduced native kentucky frogs into there as well and the cubans ate them as well.  They litterally would eat anything they could fit in their mouths....

yesterday the  neighbors dog, ( which was a boxer ) decided to jump the fence and come over and start a fight with OZZY ( my dog, which is a 85 pound boxer ) That was the worst thing I had ever seen. I did everything I could do to break up the fight. they where going to fight to the end . this  dog attacked Ozzy and I tried to hold him back but Zeus(neighbors dog) kept coming. It was terrible. never seen anything like this. I tried everything to break them up, nothing worked. The only choice was to jump in and break up the fight. Finally got them separated, and Ozzy back in the house and Zeus out of my yard. because of all the blood everywhere, I looked Ozzy over and realized that it was me. I took two bites on my left arm and dam near reap off half my thumb on my right hand. Watched it happen in slow motion but did not realize it at the time  because i was to busy trying to break up the fight. LOL. for now I type with 9 fingers. that was yesterday, today I feel like I got my a@# kicked. it was like fighting  off to lions or bears or what ever you want to compare to. Half my hand is numb, had to go get  some shots today, my wife is freaked out, but I don't think it is that bad. I will heal..... lol.            But I will tell you this.... I hope you never have to watch something like this... because that was BAD... I don't ever want to see that again.

Man bro, I'm glad that your doggie is ok.

But ouch man, I would totally have words with that sum bitch next door.

You should contact your insurance company, you can file claim against your neighbor for any physical damage to you or the dog for jumping the fence.
It's negligence on the part of your neighbor.

I would totally be pist, like clinter said, if that was a kid the dog would have killed the child, as much as I love boxers, any dog that starts doing shit like this, will attack anything for absolutely no reason.
