It's an OT party!!!!
CapN Tokyo:
I had a hamster once. It went insane, and escaped into the walls. I had another hamster once. Suddenly, it died.
Lesson learned? Never buy hamsters from Pet Smart.
vecki:
I don't have any pets... we used to have canaries though - they sung pretty :)
My boyfriend has 2 cats though...
vecki:
Hmmm did I kill the party?

I have a gourami in my tank right now named Sunburst. He's probably dead right now. For the past few days, he's been on the bottom, sideways. But he always gets upright when I feed him...rest in peace, little guy...well, I think so anyway. I've had him a year or two. I suppose that's a good lifespan.
I have a 99 cent algae eater that's been alive for 6 years. His name is Pirsig. He's great!
I always liked when my fish died and the other fish ate them to the bone. Then their little skeletons would float around in the plants like the back of my tank was some kind of fishy cemetary.
By the way, the pets I listed are by no means the number of pets I've owned. I actually used to work in a petstore, not Petsmart but a mom and pop type. The reason I got the job was because I used to work at a vet, and I also had to list the pets I've owned on the application. I ran out of space and had to fill in half of the back of the paper. And I forgot some of them on the list.
You have no idea how amazing it is that during the last five years all I had was two cats, a fishtank, and at one point a colony of seamonkeys. Until my cat knocked it over. It truely is amazing that I no longer live in a zoo.
So. New subject. I vote that we discuss raving lunatics that we have known. One time I knew this hippie chick and she was heavily Christian. She used to crawl around on her hands and knees asking each and every single ant she found "Do you know where you're going? I know where I'm going. I'm going to Heaven to be with Jesus."
There is a lady who lives downstairs from me. She leaves notes to the general public on her door. Rules. Guidelines. Things along the lines of "There will be no hepatitis behavior in my doorway." What the hell is hepatitis behavior? I've often been tempted to stand in her doorway and yell "I'm exibiting hepatitis behavior!" I never have of course. I do have a heart. It's just unfortunate that I also have a very black, black humor.
No offense to any raving lunatics out there. I have some very close friends with problems of the mental type. Like, medicated and every thing. I love them to death. No one makes me laugh more.

Well, I just have to tell you about my ferret, QT Pi. She died of cancer on 31st May 2004, I'm just about over it enough to talk about her.
Once or twice in a lifetime you get a pet with something extra, I've been lucky enough to have two animals so far that have been true companions. My dog Jodie, a cocker spaniel cross, was awesome, we hitched all over NZ together when I was a little hippie. When I had a magpie as well, the magpie, Edgar of course, would ride on Jodie's collar and peck her head to direct her where he wanted to go. ;)
QT Pi the ferret had a real wicked attitude, she wasn't scared of humans and she'd give anything a go. Real kamikaze little animal. She liked cellphones and wallets in particular, often hiding them round the house. Sometimes when everything was quiet, you could hear a tiny patter of feet as she scurried from one hiding place to the next, moving her stash constantly so we wouldn't find it. One of my son's mates didn't find his cellphone for three weeks.
I could drag a towel around and she'd leap on it and surf, sometimes running up the towel and tumbling down again for the sheer fun of it, other times she'd just hang on and lean into the corners. She'd get in between the duvet and the duvet cover and chase my finger round as I traced patterns on top of the duvet, looked like something out of a horror movie as the ripples moved around under the cotton cover. She was damned good at ankle ambushes too, particularly first thing in the morning. I miss her dreadfully.
And you're not getting away without family pics I'm afraid...
This is QT leaping from couch to couch with a stolen wallet in her mouth. (She wouldn't let go, even if the wallet was held up, she'd just dangle from it). ;D
This is QT coming in for a landing.
This is her with my two cats.
