Definately a pug for me! They are so sweet and loving. They get along well with cats too!

I've always wanted a ferret but I think since having Ruby I would have to be boring and say dog. What a girl she is!!

Ooooh I used to keep betas. They're mint, aren't they? I love in particular the way that when you go up to the tank to say hello they come right up to the glass and wave their little side-gills at you! They are ULTRA cute I'm thinking about getting some more soon...

A ROYAL (I know they don't call them Royal's anymore but I mean BIG) Tuxedo or Parti Color Standard Poodle!

I just lost my Mr Wonderful, Schatzi just over a year ago and I miss that guy so much my heart aches for him.

Average life expentancy of rabbits is the same as cats.
Rodents, on the other hand, only typically live 3-6 years.

I LOVE birds, especially parrots, and may get a Congo African Grey or an Amazon sometime in the not so distant future. I've actually looked into breeders already.

What a beautiful baby. I'm so sorry you lost him that must be devstating for you
Poodles are just the most beautiful dogs, aren't they?

Our Ruby is a Labrador crossed with a standard poodle - what a mix!! She is going to be beautiful and HUGE!! We are going to get a black miniature to be buddies with Ruby when she's a bit older and a breeder in Perth finally has some!

Yes but puppies have the most DIVINE puppy-smell in the world! It's like the smell of a little baby, you just can't get enough of it. Max and I are constantly sticking our faces right into Ruby's neck and having a big sniff - she has the best, warmest, sweetest, homiest (?) smell ever. It's like being wrapped up in a smellable hug!!

A miniature Llama

If there are such things...

otherwise I would get a minature donkey

or a full sized one. I like donkies.

Miniature ponies are cute too.... but the donkeys are better

Nooo. I think I have to have a different opinion on Betas.... they dont think "Oh.. hello there person" They are thinking more along the lines of "If you dont ffreaking feed me I swear to god I will jump out of this water and down your throat, making you choke to death and invoking my revenge"

Of course... maybe my beta is just different... if he had thumbs (not to mention a very tiny dagger) I expect he would varnish it at me every chance he got, stabbing suggestively at the glass.

My beta is Fat. Fat and Hungry. His name is Mr. F. H. Fish.. or Mr. Fish for short... or Mr. Fat Hungry Fish for long.

Floppy earred bunnies... "mini lop"...

I had a pet mini lop named Mr. Kickers... white with a smudge of black on his nose, deep brown eyes. He was so sweet, funny, smart. Loved sleeping under the Christmas tree with K.C. and playing with Zorro. He died when he was only 2 yrs old and I still get teary when I look at his picture by my bedstand.


So in a world without cats, I'd have 6 mini-lop buns flopping all around my house!!!

Definitely dogs. I grew up with a collie, basset hounds and a yellow lab so I love them. Would have one if I could but don't think the kitties would be too thrilled.

ummm maybe teeny tiny dogs that don't smell often. But really my ideal pet is a cat and if there were no cats I doubt I would own a pet.. although bf likes the dogs..

Dobermans and cats are both at the top of my list.


Though I also love BC's and labs are they are so goofy and funny.

I have also owned hooded and hairless rats and loved them too, though their life expectancy as someone mentioned is hard on the caregiver...
