Speaking of pet pictures

This request is entirely reasonable. In fact, I believe it’s the law.

Some restrictions apply.

We’re talking about a dog who trips over the same rock EVERY DAY. Do we really need to sacrifice the few shreds of dignity that he has remaining?

T_dub · October 14, 2022, 8:59pm

I was looking at it as an honor, but I suppose I see your side too

MikeC · October 14, 2022, 9:11pm

Just messing around. Nothing but love for the pooch.

sakkasie · October 14, 2022, 9:29pm

Actually, truth be known, I’m being a bit of a hypocrite. He’s currently wearing a glow in the dark with skulls collar for Hallowe’en. An elf might not be too much of a stretch.

Looked over and saw the little guy apparently posing for a Lakland endorsement.

Ed · October 19, 2022, 8:40am

Indeed. Pics or it didn’t happen

Ed · October 23, 2022, 4:28pm

May I present (from left to right) Ibanez, P and J, although I keep getting the last two confused

MikeC · October 23, 2022, 5:07pm

Very cute, Ed.

Ed · October 23, 2022, 5:46pm

And way easier than horses

Mac · October 23, 2022, 10:37pm

I love rats @Ed . Cool names too

Ed · October 23, 2022, 10:45pm

They’re great aren’t they? I call the mum Ibanez because she’s very active .

The end of summer mountain bike season and the first signs of ski touring season are always Husky rescue dog approved.

I love me some PEWs! I did rat rescue for years; I think they’re the best pets you can have.

Ed · October 24, 2022, 6:41am

Oh I love my ladies even when they’re feeling bitey . We adopted them from the medical uni so they’re not as socialised as rats from reputable breeders but they still like to sit on my lap and get a dried insect or two. . Totally recommended

I have 2 cats, at first they were freaked out by the sound of strings, but now…

House panthers are the best.

Wombat-metal · November 11, 2022, 1:38am

House Pantera here

sakkasie · November 11, 2022, 1:50am

Oh I see what you did there, you clever sausage.

T_dub · November 11, 2022, 2:02am

Hmm, Idk which is better, to be house Pantera, or a clever sausage😉.

Ok, tru story I don’t think I ever told here.
I will try and keep it short, but you know me…

Here we go.

I wanted a dog my whole life growing up, and my parents never would let me have one
I went thru mice, hamsters, beta fish, gold fish, and probably many other small caged animals, over and over, but they just did not scratch my itch for a dog.

When I was about 20, maybe 19, I got interested in snakes, mainly to show my parents, " I will show you"

I ended up with more then 50 snakes, many breeding pairs.
But, my Xwife and I started with a pair of Corn snakes, make and female. They were bright , so the perfect color, right

We named the boy Pan, and the girl Tera.
Bada bing…

I did end up moving out of my parents at 20 just so I could have a dog, and I finally got my wish, and I was gifted with the best dog ever to live. A beautiful female Rottweiler (pictured in this thread somewhere). And she was named Mallory Knox, as in Mickey and Mallory:+1:

Anyway, just thought about that thanks to @Wombat-metal throwing out “house Pantera”

BTW, I heard Phil and Rex were gonna travel with Zack Wylde and Charlie Bennante as a tribute to Pantera tour.
Anybody know more about that? Anybody go, or going?

I saw them 7 times in their gayday between 93 and 95.
They were awesome.
