I've had almost every pet you can imagine over the years. Dogs, cats, reptiles, horses, birds, rodents...you name it I've probably kept one. Even had a pet Pacu (a larger relative of the piranha) at one point in time. Recently though it's been difficult to keep up with too many pets so I'll share my more recent additions to the family.
First, my cats. They never actually had definite names, so we just took to affectionately calling them Slinker (Grey) and Stinker (Black), as they were sly, and rotten. They don't live with me anymore.
Next, my miniature long-haired Dachshund, Dieter. He's incredibly lazy, and a little scaredy cat, but I love him to death. (That's also him with Slinker, above.)
...and here he is on a camping trip we took last year, not entirely enjoying himself.
Then, my snake, a Royal Python named Osmond Salazar. Most people have taken to calling him "Ozzy" though.
Here are the horses we used to keep. The male, with the white pattern, is Ollie, and the red, a female, is Flame. I do believe she was pregnant in this photo.
Then our pitbull, still a pup here, Bridgette, with our Boxer, General Patton. We rescued Patton when he was being abused and used as a fighting bait dog. His owners filed down his teeth, abused him with a shock collar, and encouraged other dogs to attack him. It took him awhile to trust us, but he's one of the best dogs we've ever had.
Finally, our big English Mastiff, Draco. He died in 2010, but I felt obligated to include him. 275lbs, more than 6' on his hind legs and nothing more than a big puppy.
