Your dream pets?

[Lyric]

Not counting exotic animals (by which I mean animals that are obviously not meant to be pets, like tigers, wolves and bears), and assuming that you have the money/space/time to take care of it--what would your dream pet(s) be?

Mine would be Arabian horses, St. Bernard dogs, a huuuuge tropical fishtank full of all kinds of fish, and an African Grey parrot.

[Maine-ah]

1. any horse would do

I have always wanted a horse.

But, I think we're gonna settle for a goat. A show goat. And we're gonna name her Lola.








not really though, we can barely feed ourselves, let alone another animal.

2. Two Irish wolfhounds

plus a country estate were they could frolic and run!

[China_cat]

19. I'd go for that. WITH my Bouviers, of course.

[porphyrian]

3. A cat that has no need or desire for waste elimination.

I love cats, I can't stand the smell/cleaning/thought of cat boxes.

[BarenakedLady]

4. Horses

I'd fill my house with homeless cats and dogs if I could.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. more cats.

[Flatline]

6. Savannah cat............

They are so beautiful.....:applause:

[quip]

11. ooooo, I've never heard of that breed....

They look like bengals to me. I was going to reply bengal cat, but I'd like them to be TWICE as large (about 50 lbs) THAT would be neato!

[Inchworm]

7. I usually have wolves somewhere in my dreams

but that's not what not are asking huh, hmm...

Assuming I had the money to do what I wanted?

I would build an elaborate series of pens, cages and office rooms to hold abandoned, mistreated and otherwise homeless animals. Once it was up and operational I would donate the facility to the Humane Society or a NoKill organization.

I would then move to another area who doesn't have a facility like that and build one and move again. I'd do this 'til the end of my days.

:hi:

8. I'd like to have just a regular dog or a cat

But my lifestyle and condo association make it very inpractical. There's a little cat that's been hanging around my front door. Every time she sees me coming home she tries to get into my condo. I've lived here since August and I think the previous owner may have left her here. I'd love to have her, but for the above stated reasons I just can't do it. I'm going to try to find her a home before it gets too cold. My neighbors across the way are feeding her and they have a box with a towel in it set out that she uses as a bed.

A Birman cat

9. Delete

double post

[momophile]

10. a Portuguese Water Dog

because my hubby is allergic to most dogs.

and assuming I had the land, a horse, chickens and a llama or two.

[femmocrat]

25. They are on my list of breeds I would love to have...

I think they are so sweet. When I looked into them a few years ago, there were some genetic health problems that dissuaded me. I don't know if those problems have been bred out yet.

[Maraya1969]

12. Horses, miature horses, miature goats, African grey parrot,

baby Chihuahua, (like the ones that you buy but I won't buy an animal)

plenty more I'm sure.

[Arugula Latte]

13. More cats ... with a wonderful inside/outside enclosure so they could be safe.

I have three indoor kitties now, and I'm jonesing for more. :loveya: I'm partial to kitties with some white fur on them (like half-orange/half-white) but I love all kitties of all sizes, shapes and colors.

I've also got a bunny and lots of aquatic creatures now. I feel sorry for the bunny being by himself, but I don't really want to be in the bunny biz indefinitely. He showed up in our yard (someone undoubtedly dumped him) and we took him in to save him from coyotes. He's sweet and all-black.

Had you asked me 35 years ago, I would have answered "a black Morgan gelding horse with a white stripe down his nose and four white socks." :) ... I actually did wind up getting a horse when I was a kid, and he was a black/brown Morgan/Quarter Horse mix. I was spoiled, I know.

[MissMillie]

14. I want a bulldog

I'm not home enough during the day to have a dog, but someday, I want a bulldog.

[Liberalynn]

15. I already have my dream pets.

My cats and my dog.

The only thing I would wish is that I were rich and could open both a German Shepard Rescue and a homeless cat rescue.

In the meantime I just give my current pets all the care I can.

[AlCzervik]

16. A Silkie Chicken and a few cows.

must have one--

[Gidney N Cloyd]

17. I'd just like to adopt a new yellow lab to replace my pal that died last spring.

Trying to adopt an adult dog but not having much luck.

[bettyellen]

30. I'm hoping G N C meets Linus

Five years ago I found our wonderful dog on the SPCA website, we met her at their adoption site at Petco, and we've loved her ever since.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

31. This was a really nice gesture! Thanks. (see my pm reply)

:thumbsup:

[Shell Beau]

18. I want them all! I really want a little piggie! A potbellied one!

But I would love to have horses and cows.

[stuntcat]

20. I have a plan

Actually :D I'm gonna have a little house on a few acres in the mountains someday where I'll have chickens (pets not food) and goats and donkeys, I hope! For now though I want a rat, I'm just scared my cats wouldn't deal with it.

[WinkyDink]

21. Second the African Grey, and add a trio of minitaure dachshunds!

Smooth, Wire-haired, and Long-haired!

[applegrove]

22. A bouvier, a newfoundlander and a great pyreneas. I'd be in such

great shape from running after them.

[Demoiselle]

26. Speaking as the owner of two Great Pyrenees...

I gotta burst your bubble. Our Pyrs may well be the laziest dogs God ever made.
Utterly sweet, cuddly, huggable, gentle giants. But their best trick is rug impersonations.
If I want real exercise, I have to go for a walk without the dogs.
Perhaps if a wolf or bear turned up they'd get active...but, failing that (not likely here in
Philadelphia) it's mostly dignified snoozes and the occasional lean-on-mama for attention
that fills their day. And gently putting up with one of our five cats. (Dennis,an Orange Tabby Tom who rubs up against
them, talks to them and generally makes it clear he'd like to run with the big dogs.)
Except the big dogs don't run.

[applegrove]

33. Oh my. Well then I'd be as happy and relaxed as they are. Sounds like

you have quite the zoo there.

[femmocrat]

24. I always wanted a Morgan horse...

and lots of breeds of dogs. Too many to narrow it down!

Of all the many pets I have had, dogs are the best.

[DS1]

27. a maine coon cat would be sweet, if I lived in a bigger place

[Chovexani]

28. The only dog I ever wanted

Is an Alaskan husky. They're so pretty.

[midnight armadillo]

29. I have kids. Why would I need pets?

[jgraz]

32. Just remember, parrots are as wild as tigers, wolves and bears

And yes, I have one as my dream pet:
