Hey SARPers! Do you have any pets? What kind? Got pics to show off? Any stories?
My current pet: Zoey (Dog: Japanese Chin). She's 6 years old and 8 lbs. Super cute and cuddly, if a bit standoffish, shy around strangers. Likes to stand on furniture, squeaky toys, people food, walks in the middle of the night. Dislikes UPS trucks, pizza man, bathtime, the animal hospital, and fearless toddlers. I'll post a pic when I'm on my own computer! Zoey is the daughter of two of my mom's pets and we got her for free. Zoey once had an intestinal blockage that needed $1200 surgery to fix. Once ate a bag of chocolate covered almonds I got for my wife, causing her to trip balls and poop shaved almonds for 2 days.

Pets I used to have:
- Turtle: Leonardo (passed away around the time of hurricane Hugo)
- Turtle: Michelangelo (Had a gimpy leg! Gave to friend when we moved to Italy in 1995; passed away now)
- 2 bunnies (giant white one and small brown lop-eared)
- About a dozen hermit crabs when I was in elementary school
- Dog: Tai, Arabian Greyhound (put down after he attacked a trespasser in our yard)
- Dog: Rufus: I think parents sent him back to the shelter because he was too rough?
- Dog: Bob: Wonderful mutt brought back from Italy. Died of major cancer at an old age.
