Are Ubuntu users pet lovers too?

[cstudent]

Since a lot of threads recently have been making use of pictures and they seem to be rather popular, I thought I'd like to start one where we could show off our four legged friends. I'm a dog lover and these are my two spoiled pride-n-joys. They lead comfortable lives, better than some people. That's Gretchen on top and Rudy below.

awwwwwwww, i adore doggies but my rosie died a few years ago, i have no pics on my machine but i`ll find some, she was soooooo cute

[rykel]

hey, i love dogs too, but unfortunately cannot afford to keep one... i have some goldfish and a lovely budgie couple too!

hmmm, how do you attach a full size pic here??? anywae, here's a shot of my two fav birds...

[cstudent]

Beautiful birds. My Mom had parakeets. I can imitate one really well. Just never could teach them to talk. But we could parakeet holler at each other pretty good! :D

Nice pooches. My neighbor has a Corgi. She also had a 180lb Saint Bernard but unfortunately it passed away last weekend. It had epilepsy, which I guess is somewhat common in Saints. It had some real bad seizures last Friday night and never recovered. :(

[KingBahamut]

Volunteer and work hard at it too.

=)

Help the user, thats what its about for me.


My Corgi was a St. Bernard in a past life, he think he can tackle anything. When I took him out to the pet place the other day, he and a Rotweiler got into it and the RotWeiler walked away whimping.

[Iandefor]

I've got a cat; however, I don't have a camera to take pictures of him with.
I had another cat, but he died a couple months back.

[Arktis]

Here are two blurry webcam shots of my cat, Garfield, sleeping on my laptop. I wish I had a better camera. This was like a month after I fisrt got him. He's much larger and fatter now, doing a better job of living up to his namesake.

[YourSurrogateGod]

I did have a rabbit some time ago, but he died of old age. I can't keep any rabbits at my new place unfortunately, they make great pets.

[YourSurrogateGod]

I love it how people treat their animals almost as family. I've had a rabbit, but could never explain why that is the case. He would always come by when we were watching TV and bug us (it was fun), I guess it's the company that they keep.

[aysiu]

I love it how people treat their animals almost as family. My wife and I affectionately refer to our cat as "our son." When we take him to the vet, we give him a full name with my wife's last name. He's definitely part of our family.

u mean he looks like THIS now? hehe, sorry, can't help it... plus a strip for all of us dog and cat lovers here on ubuntu...

[Sutekh]

Two beautiful cats in my house... and one of them maltese terriers. You know the one I'm talking about; inferiority complex. She believes that she inhabits the body of a much larger dog!

Our oldest cat gets a chair at the table, she just sits there and watches us eat, hoping for a little tidbit! Our younger cat has a tail like a skunk, but is cute. :)

[Lovechild]

I don't currently have any pets, but I used to have rabbits.. adorably little very mental rabbits.. one of them had this complex where he got the idea that he was a parrot, he constantly wanted to sit on my shoulder for some reason.

When I get a new apartment if I'm allowed I would like to get a small cat to keep me company, I'm just worried about locking a cat up in a small apartment - I feel it's against it's natural instincts to be confined like that and I wouldn't want to hurt the poor animal.

I was wondering how long it would take for "that one" to come up......Glad I wasn't disappointed :-))

Can't blame me for trying, the dog looks very nice as well I always liked that breed - they seem very majestic for some reason and at least the ones I know are extremely friendly and cuddly.

Cats and dogs are both great. My wife and I have a great little rat terrier, Gabby, and three cats, Tom, Joe, and Miss Kitty. Yes, I know those aren't great original names. In defense of Miss Kitty, that refers to the saloon owner in the old US TV series "Gunsmoke."

Quick, a show of hands from those of us that remember "Gunsmoke" when it was in first run and not just another TVLand historical relic! :p

[Ultimo Aliento]

My family have 13 cats or more... 6 dogs , and my grandmother has a lot of birds :P .

This one is my favorite cat, Hoshi .

Everyone, meet Billy...our little hawk :)

http://www.eclipsedesign.net/samples/billy2.jpg

My girlfriend and I love him so much and he's so way more than just a simple pet. He's our pride and joy, the light of our eyes...
Usually he's sitting on my shoulder when I'm working at my computer and he's speaking to me... he asks me: "How are you daddy? Or how's my baby doing?" He sits on the monitor as well where is warm and cozy and babbles on and on...
As a kid never had pets, never knew what that means. As a grown up never even thought that one day a parakeet like Billy will come into my life and completely change the way I feel about any animal on earth!!! He knocked me off :)

[rykel]

Everyone, meet Billy...our little hawk :)


hey pal,

i like billy!!!!!! he's soooo cute!!

btw, is he toilet trained?

if not, how do u prevent him from dropping droppings all over ur room/computer? hehe

[rem]

Oh, he's always asking to go to the toilet and he's using toilet paper also :D

[mstlyevil]

I have a Dog. He looks like a oversized weeny dog so I named him Oscar. He thinks he is human though and gets pissed off if I call him a Dog.

[claydoh]

My pet pics are here (http://emacdogsports.com/modules/xoopsgallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=album03), and here (http://claydoh.com/modules/xoopsgallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=Animals-and-critters).
Jake (http://emacdogsports.com/modules/xoopsgallery/view_photo.php?xoops_imageid=4&set_albumName=album03&id=res56574), the white terrier will be 16 (!!!) in March, and is the first dog my wife has ever had. The cute yellow terrier mix is Sunshine (http://www.emacdogsports.com/images/random/4.jpg), who does agility and various silly tricks. The grey Weimaraner is Lark, (http://emacdogsports.com/modules/xoopsgallery/view_photo.php?xoops_imageid=28&set_albumName=album03&id=res56586) 14 months old, she does flyball (http://www.flyballdogs.com/flyball_maineiacs/) and is currently ranked around 19th for her breed (http://www.flyballdogs.com/flyball_maineiacs/lark.htm) in the sport (not many do flyball :smile: ) Just the other day, I put down a book I had just finished, and she went to the living room and brought me another one! Twice! Both Lark and Sunshine are rescue animals, as well is our cat Willy (http://claydoh.com/modules/xoopsgallery/view_photo.php?xoops_imageid=14&set_albumName=Animals-and-critters&id=dsc00044).


I run our local Agility club's website (http://emacdogsports.com). My wife works at our local Humane society (http://www.bangorhumanesociety.com/) and is also a dog trainer. Our upstairs neighbors also work with dogs/cats so we have a whole posse of dogs and cats, plus the occaisional fostering as well.

So I guess I love animals :D

[Zhanna]

Sure, I love animals—just about anything, but I've never had a dog or rabbit or horse no matter how much I would like to. Just fish and cats for me so far.

Ian was the sweetest cat I've ever known ... but he died on Monday of cancer. :( :(

Cat lover here...

but I do favor a few dog breeds... one is the Boxer - absolutely love them.. their style, energy, and less than average hair attracts me. I think I would crop the ears.. but Im not sure I like how they do it... seems painful.

On the first page ( at 40 a page ), I forget who but that was a nice pic of a German Shepherd, top dog there - all business. My whole family, cousins, uncles, gramps, my immediate; we've all had that breed in our lives at one point and most still do. Very popular in this family.

No room for a dog right now; proud owner of two tiger striped cats. ;)

cheers

[snaga]

The animals outnumber the humans at our house-

Two cats, who hate each other.

Two dogs, who love each other. The cats hate the dogs too, but the dogs are still trying to figure out what the cats are [-X

Oh, and a dumbo rat that is going to cash it in any day now....

[bearbigears]

let see one dog, two cats and thinking about getting a new dog. well see what 2006 will bring. all adopted from the pound!

[erikpiper]

3 fishtanks (to lazy to list the fish)
1 Chinchilla- "Fred"
1 Cat - "Dusty" Fattest cat EVER. Will post a pic when I fing one.

We had another cat, "Magic" He was a recue as a kitten, was feral. Sweetest cat ever, loved us, my grandfather, and was mortally afraid of any other humans.. He died a month ago at 4 from a inability to relieve himself :( - he had urinary problems since he was a kitten. He was still the best cat I ever had. He was for sure a part maine coon, and all black. Will post a pic.
