i love animals! 4 mules 6 horses 5 dogs 2 cats 2 leopard geckos 2 parakeets 1 calf and 2 pigs - just wanted to officially note that i like this topic.

This is my cat P.C.

Oh yeah, it definitely happens. I've got nicks, and marks and scars from that and grooming. No biggie. I tried working at the SPCA up in Dallas, and walked away for 2 reasons.

1) a deaf pit bull came in, and they wouldn't let me adopt her, despite having a deaf Dogo Argentino. They put her down because she was a pit, and they don't even adopt pitties out to rescue.

2) Then I was told if I ever got bit by a dog or cat, I'd have to stand and witness them cutting it's head off to send away for rabies testing.

I told them to bugger off and left.

Hope you dont get hurt Or end up like Steve Irwin

Urgh! Keep an eye on that, and hope it doesn't go into any sinus problems.

I got slammed in the face by one of the goats horns 2 years ago, it was sore, but fine, then 3 months after it became infected. Managed to clear it with echinacea. Now it's back, and isn't healing. No insurance, so I'm self-treating. I've got a liquid bubble on the upper portion, inside of my mouth in the sinus cavity, which I hope won't get worse. Mom passed me a couple amoycillian pills but it's not helping.

Does anyone have an opinion about the following:

Can a dog lover and a cat lover find happiness in the same household?

I spent yesterday playing baseball with my best friend's two little girls, 7 and 13. They have an intelligent border collie bred to herd sheep. Every time the girls hit the ball and I started chasing them, the dog would bite my ankles and herd me away from them.

I am nursing about thirty bites right now.

I've got a black lab/pit mix, a deaf Dogo Argentino, a cat, a conure, a cockatiel, a quaker parrot, 8 parakeets, 3 PBPigs, 9 cows, 12 goats, a horse, 6 turkeys, 2 geese, and about 70 chickens. I also have 4 Japanese Chins, but they're actually my brothers. LOL!

And yes, the livestock are also pets, though I eat the chicken, turkey and goose eggs, with about half of my animals as rescues. I'll take in more goats if any come through one of the local rescues I work with.

I lost both of my ratties this year, with Fairy passing about 2 weeks ago. Also Cadbury the rabbit died, which really sucked.

I think people should be looked at as people not "the man in the wheelchair" or "the blind girl"..I'd give a chance to any woman if she was my type even if she was deaf, I would learn sign language to talk to her..I feel if everyone had the same attitude and open mindness, the world would be a much better place.. Love always,
Your friend,

They're staying with my parents here in Illinois, if I didn't have to move I wouldn't move just because of my Pug. He's been my only friend since I moved out to this God-Forsaken place...

Uhhhhhh sweet.....

My cat Fluffy was trapped in sand under a one room schoolhouse in the middle of nowhere when it was built over 100 years before I found him...nothing got to him...air, flies, ants.....there was no taxidermy work to be done....Fluffy is an actual perfectly preserved mummy.
