jlyoncc1 Wrote:Wow Anja, you had a bobcat! How did you end up with that? My husband had a raccoon growing up that used to hang out and about and a duck that used to follow him around.

She was captive born to a breeder in AR Dee. My friend bought her as a kitten and I took her when she was 2 years old.







And this is Linus! They both went to the same home in TX together. He would nestle into the back of my hair around my neck while I worked. lol He was just a few ounces when I brought him home, saved from the jaws of several of my friend's dogs that had him cornered in her barn. I did not think he would make it through the night he was so dehydrated.

Yes Kelly I have had a ton of exotic pets! lol I grew up on a farm so of course had cattle, chickens, rabbits, goats etc etc. Ive raised show goats and Llamas too! Rehabbed a Redtail Hawk.

The many faces of me. lol!







One of my team roping horses (I competed in rodeos from a very young age until I was 25 and pregnant with Legend!)







Just thought I would share some old pics!

Really cool Anja! That wonderful that you had those experiences.

WOW, thats cool, growing up I had horses, chickens, ducks, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, mice, lizards, birds, and what ever was in the pond behind our house. Now all I have besides my torts are 2.4 boxies, 1.0.2 RES, 2.0 Labs (one black, one chocolate), It is a quiet household right now.

My household is actually pretty quiet compared to days past. I usually had 10-15 dogs at any given time so just having 2 now seems weird. lol It is kinda nice though!

The only one of mine i do not trust is my hairless terrier. She is a little nosey but never alone with them. My crested on the other hand is a silly dork! He would never do anything except steal their greens He is a vegetable adict and steals anyones food he can get his little mouth on

wow this list had 10x more exotics than i thought it would!
would you guys be interested in more specific other pet forums? for instance, Dogs & Cats, Aquaria, Other Herps, Inverts, etc etc?

My only other pet now is a rabbit, my heart has been broken once too often over dogs and cats I can't bear to have any more of my own. it's lovely to see all your pics folks!

Besides 4 russian torts
I have 1 three toed
2 cats
2 mini doxies
2 large goldfish tanks (72 & 125)
