My family had a pet dog called Jock. We got him when I was 16 and had chicken pox in the year 1979 from Battersea Dog home. He was cross terrier/dalmation dog, he used to wink at me when I asked him to. He never burried his bone in the garden. He was taken around the parks and woods in Harold Hill. He passed away in 1993. I still miss him alot as he was with us along time. He used to lie on my knees, all had to do was say jump or at other times he would go and lie on my knees.

im new too this so just getting the hang of it.lol..how do i add friends too my list plz???
:@)

to add friends to your list you have to go to their space and click on "add to friends" which should be on your right hand side if you are using the plain skin...

should do the trick...

if you need more help don't hesitate to go to the FoLDers Arms [our own virtual bar] A913150 and click on the thread "Advice Corner".. it's a thread especially for that...
we will also be able to post you some links if you want..

now, to go back into the subject [] i think there is another researcher on h2g2 who keeps rats as pets... i will see if i can find the link back... and maybe invite them here to talk about it..

talk soon..

kat: we used to have a rabbit too [RIP]...

Loup

I have to go and do some shopping.

JA

the rabbit was called tina but later on became tino... couldn't see he was a boy when he was a baby...

When I was a little girl we had a cat (I cannot remember what his name was) but he was a wild cat/ferral and one day as I a toddler I tried to feed the cat by eating the cat food myself so as to encourage the cat to eat it.

kat

Errrrmmm...I have about 25 fish...shall I name them!?

if you want...

it can be interesting to know what names have been given to pets and why...

my cat Lucky was named that way because she survived a few nasty accidents when she was a kitten...

Midnight... well, it's kinda obvious...

talk soon everyone...

loup

Oh ok then, well theres

Goldie- named cause she is a gold colour
Casper- named because he is ghost carp
Lisa Tubby Bucket- named cause she is a tubby bucket like my over weight neighboour.
Loner- named cause he was 1 of six fish I bought all the same breed...a week later all 5 had dies and he was left.
Roach- named cause he is a roach
Roach 2- obvious
Roach 3- obvious
Roach 4- obvious
Roach 5- obvious
Roach 6- obvious
Lub of Lard- Another tubby bucket fish
Floater- named cause she always...well floats [I think she may be dead ]
Flushed- named cause I tried to flush him down the bog, but he stayed put and didn't die
Goldie 1 - 11 - named cause they are the 11 goldfish I have.

Wow how interesting was that

yep... makes sense...

the hamster was called fluffy from the name on the box that contained the space-age cage [yes _really_ ]... the name was captain fluffy... so eh.. fluffy seemed to be convenient for its name...

the space-age cage was neat tho'...

one of our fish had two names... it started with goldie [how original... and finished with rainbow... the little guy had a knack to change its colour it seemed...



loup

A budgie who started off as Dennis [named after me dad, who like the darn bird is an ugly ], his name changed on a daily basis, from girls names to boys [couldn't tell the sex of the blasted thing] then I just resorted to calling him one day and the next [should learn not to bit my ears...my earrings are not bird seed! ]
He died for some reason, the fact that my mum knocked his cage over wasn't anything to do with it....

Are you sure Goldie/Rainbow was not one of those colour changing lizard thingys, they do look pretty similar .

naaaaaah that would have been a chameleon innit..

but he did look scary at times for a goldfish... he had black streaks for a while... and looked at us with a rather evil grin...

hehe... he also must have been one of the few in the world who had a chance to taste and survive it...



loup

chameleon...that's the one, could think of how to spell it

A evil goldfisg...what has this world come to
