Re: Cats, Dogs, & Other Pets
Dominic,
I saw you were wondering why your lab licks his/her paws constantly. My parents lab does this as well, and I'm pretty sure my dad told me its because labs are really susceptible to allergies. Does your dog scratch his ear a lot too?

Re: Cats, Dogs, & Other Pets
I've been away "studying" for the past 3 weeks so I enjoyed stumbling across this thread this afternoon because all the great pictures of people's pets reminded me of my cat back home.
Well the timing couldn't have been much worse as just about thirty minutes later my parents called to tell me that the cat I have had since elementary school passed away as a result of a staph infection/Asthma complications. I wanted to post it here because from all the pictures and everything I can tell that the posters in this thread really care about their animals and often times people who don't really like pets have trouble understanding the strong connection between certain people and their fury companions. I was really attached to her. I remember holding her the first day we got her when she was just a few ounces. My favorite memories of her are when I would just sit on the couch all Saturday watching college football and she would lie on my lap for hours. It would get to the point where I'd have to kick her off because my legs would start to cramp up. I don't have a picture of her on my computer to post, but she was white with orange on her tail, ears, cheeks and a little on her back. She also had the bluest eyes and a little bit of a belly on an otherwise small frame. I named her Sugar. Although not the same as losing a really close family member I do feel at the very least as if I have lost a good friend.

Re: Cats, Dogs, & Other Pets
Just wanted to bump this to show off my two new babies, and represent for the degenerate, appartment living non-dog owning set.
 These dinosaurs are called bearded dragons. They come from Australia originally, and are a really popular first reptile because they're fairly easy to take care of, have great personalities, and don't mind being handled. They get to be ~20 inches full grown. That's Bella on the left, and the big fella on the rock is my unnamed male. Actually, they're not sexable at this point (about 5 weeks or so), so I'm just guessing there. He's at least 80% bigger than her though (they're from the same clutch) so he's the man. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Here's a closer look at my baby girl...  And one of the big balla...  I have a feeling the big one is going to be really, really beautiful (well, by bearded dragons standards) when he's grown - he's already showing some amazing oranges and purples.
