Nice practice space, Paul!
We're on our fourth Shetland Sheepdog. Great breed. Not especially interested in music; they just want to be nearby, no matter what I'm doing. We had two cats, but my son's highly allergic, so we have no plans on getting any more. I miss them, but I don't miss having a cat. My teenager wants a gecko. Aren't those the things we try to keep out of the house? |

That's cool. If I had a pet newt I would call him 'Tiny'... Because he would be my newt.

Shelties make great pets. I had one years ago. Smart as a whip, easy to train, loved to play.

I had a friend who rescued a feral cat and it did the same thing. It was like, once it got used to having a soft, air-conditioned place to sleep, regular meals, and lots of petting, it said, "Why would I ever want to go back outside again? Been there...done that...not goin' back."

Cat person all the way here; fortunately my cat loves to hear me play. She gets kind of cranky if I don't play and gets very vocal about it
It's funny because when I got here she rand and hid when I played and now she sits on my feet like a dog would, or she'll lay down anywhere near where I'm playing. Either I've gotten better at playing while she's been with me or she just enjoys hearing music. Either way, I won't complain. She's always my audience and I enjoy that. |

Four dogs now; one older yorker who is 13 with health issues, one shiba inu who is 9; and two Coton de Tulear puppies who are 11 months old. I'll probably always have two, especially as I get older.

I was a dog person... until 1982, when picking up our Old English Sheepdogs from the groomers... there was a box of kittens, and the lady said to our then 10-year-old daughter, "You can have one of those kitties for free, if your Daddy says it's OK." Grrrrrrrrrrr.
That cat lived to be almost 22 years old. She became ours when our daughter went off to college. She traveled with us in our motorhomes. It was great sadness in our home when that little furry girl passed. A few months later, a large girl adopted us - came to our house, followed me to work - she wouldn't leave. Our daughter said, "She knows you have a hole in your heart that only another great cat can fill." We traveled by boat and RV - I wrote a book about traveling with that feline ("Cat On A Leash"). Her time came too soon, but she taught us that we have room in our hearts for another furry family member. We are now on our 4th cat - another rescue, and a delightful boy. He is my constant companion. He is our cat, but my wife says that I am his person. He is a great traveler, grateful to have been rescued, and an amazing personality. Rufus, yesterday on the boat... He gets excited when we see dolphins. Then, back at the house... I didn't used to think of myself as a cat person, but our lives have been better because of the great felines we have shared our time with. None have been aloof or indifferent. 36 years now with a great cat as our furry family member (one at a time)... my wife says each has been a great stress-reliever, and better than blood pressure medicine. Yeah, I guess we are cat people. |

I've never been without a dog ever since i was a rugrat.
Now I'm 53 and i can't run with the dog like i used to, so i'm thinking this one could possibly be my last. This is Nev, just turned 2 years old. Love him to bits. [IMG]http[/IMG] [IMG]http[/IMG] Last edited by inky; 05-27-2018 at 04:27 AM. |

Love dogs. Love cats. Love animals.
Inky--you wrote: "Now I'm 53 and i can't run with the dog like i used to, so i'm thinking this one could possibly be my last." A lot of people have dogs and can't run with them, so they take them to dog parks or other places where dogs can run. A dog can have a wonderful life without you needing to run beside them. Just a seed thought...

I'll have to wait and see how i'm shaping up in approx. 10 years time.
I have a large bucket list for when i retire and could never leave my dog behind. |
