I don't dislike dogs at all btw. I just hate admitting when I'm wrong.

Are they yours or a friends? I just love birds, I have only had a cockatiel as a pet. I just looked up rainbow lorikeets and they look stunning. My cockatiel was great and very loyal pet. I got her as a kid and she just recently died last year. When I moved out of my parents house I left her there seeing as I was renting and still scattered with my living arrangements. She died a few months after I left. I can only assume it was a typical bird thing. I read that birds will sometimes die of loneliness if their partner leaves or dies. I just love birds they are very smart creatures. My boyfriend isn't a fan so I probably won't get another but I still love talking to the african greys in pet stores. They are so smart. (and probably my favorite of all) You can tell they are listening and thinking when they stare at you with their head sideways as their bright orange eye studies you. I can't wait for your pics!

Talking about birds has gotten me searching. I have explored the idea of adopting a baby amazon (yes i've decided on an amazon) before and my boyfriend has been able to sway me not to by explaining how cruel it is to keep a bird as a pet. So I started looking on an adoption website and found a few really prospective amazons in rescues in our area. These are birds with missing wings/older birds/etc. His friend who is here visiting saw me browsing through the website and says "oh you're adopting a parrot" and I excitedly say yes. My boyfriend gives me the typical "oh god she's serious about ANOTHER animal" face. Which is the same face he gave me when we got our first dog and also our second dog (which he adores btw). I am quite excited. I hope we can find one that fits into our lifestyle. Pictures to come!

This thread. There were tears in my eyes! Your pets are all absolutely gorgeous.
This was my best friend in the entire known universe and into uncountable dimensions beyond. His name was Regus and it was my honour to share my life with him for 12 incredible years, 6 years longer than the vet predicted when he was diagnosed with hip dysplasia.
He was quite an eccentric dog. He loved rolling like a horse and was deathly shy when it came to doing his business. He would actually hide in the bushes if he thought you were watching.
Regus and I had an honest to God psychic connection. We could communicate just by staring at each other. I can't count the nights he woke me up to let him out to do his business simply by staring at me.
Regus absolutely HATED the vet. He quickly realised though that he wasn't going anywhere without his leash and this is the result. That is the welcome mat to the vet that he is sitting on. You can just barely make out the star on his chest. I was so proud of that star.
Most of the pictures are pretty crappy quality but those that are were taken on my cellphone. I know that the love and acceptance that Regus embodied will still shine through though. The first is a scan of a physical photo. The reason it looks so beaten up is because that photograph has been through a lot. It has been the source of much healing in my family and now lives in my wallet.

^Your pictures made me cry---sad and happy tears. What a soulful face and how lucky you were to share so many years with Regus, and he with you. The trust and love in his eyes in the third picture is beautiful. Thank you soooo much for sharing these.
@stardust--that is so exciting that you might be rescuing a bird. I agree that it is never right to buy a bird bred for a cage but there are so many that need good homes that were abandoned because they were too much "trouble" to owners that didn't really understand the care a bird needs. Have you ever read the books about Alex (the African Grey?) There is a lot about him on youtube, too.

Thank you herbavore. Truth be told, I wasn't intending on sharing when I opened this thread. I was just wanting to find a few adorable pictures of kittehs and goggies but as I scrolled from page to page the incredible love and devotion I saw in the faces of both the pets and their owners really got to me. I soon found that I could only read the thread a few pages at a time because I would find myself making all sorts of ickle wickle baby talk at the photos and tearing up. All of the pictures reminded me of all of the support and affection provided by Regus that helped me through my teens and early adult life. I've been having a hard time, in much the same way that the Atlantic is a small puddle, the last few months and have sorely missed his presence. All of your photos reminded me of what an amazing friend he was and that has helped in its own small way. I wanted to share with you guys some of that.
This was one bad habit I never managed to break him of. No matter how many times I shooed him off he would be back on my bed in a second. Eventually I just gave up and put a sheet on it to control the covering of fur. I sorely regret that I don't have a picture of him curled up with his nose tucked underneath his tail, the canine version of the foetal position. He was so beautiful when curled up like that.
I tried to find another photo of his eyes for you.
Your kitteh and bunneh are absolutely beautiful herbavore. They have a grace and poise which makes it clear that they are truly loved and give that love right back to you too.

Such wonderful pictures 4sak3n. What a beautiful connection you had to him. I like the one picture in particular, the head shot with him looking directly at the camera. You guys must have had so many amazing years together. Please keep the pictures coming. We need more activity in the pet thread. Animals bring me so much happiness.
Here are some of my favorites of my two.
This is my favorite picture of my two. I feel like their joy shows through most in this one. There is something about sand and waves and the smell of salt that every creature loves.
Lito in a sand hole. This was a few days after we got him. He was still a goofy puppy.
And Belle. We joke we should have called her Piper, short for Piperazine pap (if anyone gets the reference) because she neither looks like a papillon nor loves us. She's an all around jerk for a dog.

I want to share a story as well. It's about Hasselhoff:
So a few months ago I met this girl who had one of the most beautiful dogs I've seen, the picture doesn't do him justice. He looks almost like a cross between a fox and a wolf. He'll soon be 4 years old, so he has some history too. Partially sad history though I'm afraid. He was traumatized when he was only little by a leashless larger dog that attacked him in a dog park, to this day he's very scared of other dogs. He has had to move a lot from one place to another, living a very chaotic life. Before I met him, he had to spend a lot of time with this girls ex-boyfriend who happened to be, well, if not schizophrenic then very psychotic atleast. I won't go into details, but basically he seemed to think of hasselhoff as something other than a dog, pretty much making hasselhoff quite a mess mentally.
Prior to this, I've been trying to save money to buy myself a husky puppy so I'm rather excited about dogs. When I first met him, this girl warned me that he's a really difficult and hard-headed dog and so on. I didn't understand what she was talking about at first and she was surprised how well the dog and I got along. So I started taking care of Hasselhoff when she was at work etc (basically we were pretty spending over 90% of our time/nights together anyway). It has been one of the most amazing experiences in my life so far, I have grown/healed so much as a person during this time that it's hard to even believe, and so has Hasselhoff.
He was very defiant at first, didn't trust anybody so he had very strong incentive to try and be the leader of the pack, carressing and commanding all the stupid humans around him that didn't know how to take care of a pack or were mistreating him. For some reason though, I quickly found out that for me dogs are easier to understand than humans. So we got along surprisingly well. It didn't take long for hoff to start trusting others again, and now after few months we're basically best friends and he has zero desire to be the leader of the pack, no more life of stress! The respect I get from him really brings tears to my eyes... It's gotten to the point where the girl who raised her (and she always treated him well) would command him to do something like sit and he would disobey multiple times, then eventually run to me for safety! It was silly, but I was so moved by the notion that he thought of me as something secure to hold on to... something that would protect him from anything. He now does this often, whenever something scares him he comes to me for safety and comfort. I have never ever experienced anything like this in my whole life before.
It just makes me so happy that I could help him and make him feel good and happy again... It's getting too emotional, can't write anymore

Such a beautiful story FnX. You two were definitely meant for one another, thank you so much for sharing the story of you and your pal. That is so funny that you had been searching for a husky pup right about the time he ended up in your life. It was obviously meant to be.
And now moar pics of my goobers!
Mosquito my singing buddy. He really is my dedicated little man. Always at my side quivering with anticipation and excitement. He is happiness and all that is good in life wrapped up into a tiny 9lb body. And of course notate on Belle in the background scoffing at our shenanigans.
Jailbird Beebee, her personality shines through on this one. She has quite the untamed spirit.
