Dachsunds rule. proof that the universe has a sense of humor. My daughter has a toy weiner dog they are too funny.

I actually kind-of merged with them one aya journey. It was quite a trip, as you can probalby imagine.

Is the minature good natured? Sometimes the small ones can be a bit yippy.

Never tripped with a dachsund, but Dorothy and I have joined our souls and swore to be there with each other in this world and all the others.

The weiner dog used to be pretty high strung, but is mellowing out in her old age. She certainly isn't gods brightest creature, that's for sure.

She certainly isn't gods brightest creature, that's for sure.

Smart dogs are for those boarder collie snobs.

Both my dogs and I are comfortable enough with ourselves to feel no need to prove anything with silly dog smarts. They have other attributes.

2 Alaskan Malamutes and 4 cats. We had 5 cats until last week when, sadly, a neurotic disease caused a premature exit from this world for one of our cats, Reba (Phish reference).

Pets, eh?

That's a great story, sal.

The wife and I live with three cats, currently. Box Car Willie went out hunting bunnies one night last summer and never returned, yet. Tw oof the remaining three females go in and out as they please, mostly. All were strays. Life is a little easier for me since I'm the alpha cat. But the wife doesn't have it so easy. hehe

I went to work for a pet wholesaler/retailer at the age of 10. I'd been spending my allowance money at their tiny neighborhood shop long before they expanded. And when they did, they took me along for the ride. We had alligators, kinkajoos, snakes, lizards, fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, birds, dogs and the occasional monkey.

One of my fondest memories of that six year gig was arriving to work the morning after a big Oscar got into a tussle with an electric eel. My boss had seperated the two and introduced medicine to the water to ward off infection. They were both in pretty sorry shape. But that's the way an Oscar is; just like a big, dumb, mean dog. They won't give up a good tussle for anything.  Anyway, Don had the eel in a tank on the floor in about 6" of water. I'd heard an electric eel could give off shocks, but the latest I'd heard, you'd have to touch both ends at the same time. hell, that made enough sense to me that I ended up sticking my hand into that tank and touching the eel with one finger riiiiight in his middle section. And I ended up getting a little jolt. Enough to scare me into not doing it again. hehe

Now, its just us five cats. But we do feed the birds at multiple stations around the yard. Of course, that brings in the mice and rabbits, which please the cats to no end. We also have increasing numbers of birds of prey that work our feeders in jan and feb, including sharp-shinned and cooper's hawks.

We feed the birds too. Both seed crackers and hummers. We get hummers all day long right outside our window.
 and when we sit on the balconey they come and hover a foot or 2 away.
It's a great show, watching them fight and do their mating dances.

My dog Zaar golden retriever and cat Chief orange tabby are like brothers, we also have 2 parakeets Diego and Zuma and a white english budgie Zorma...the siamese fighting fish passed away the other night.....

[Alfie.Ilkins]

A rubber lizard stuck to my white board and a fake blue Norwegian parrot.  The parrot lost an eye so the remaining one was pulled out and re-applied to its forehead.  The parrot perches on a monitor and pines for the fjords.

I wrote a longish post, was told I had to log in again, and lost it. Poop.

I got carried away and made a web page. Took 32 seconds to load with my slow dial-up. Mostly pics of cats.

Some of those cats are semi-indoor kitties now that it's winter. Some choose not to come inside. There's an indoor litter box. Some of the cats like it so much they'll be waiting outside with their legs crossed, waiting to use the toilet of preference.

Every evening we  have Wild Cat Rumpus Hour, with boxes, paper bags, tennis ball, yarn, toilet paper roll, and nuts. Pistachioes are favored for batting across the floor, filberts and brazil nuts popular, cashews (shelled) get eaten.
