Members Amanda-Jane Posted October 23, 2007 Members Posted October 23, 2007 So you have your guitar- maybe its like a friend to you. It has shared alot of experiences with you, helping you express your feelings. Do you have a pet that you trust your secrets too? I have a black lab, 2 years old. She is the best friend I have ever had. Truely. I love her more than most people. I have been blessed with her company. The best part of my day is hanging out with my girl.. We walk and play at the park at least an hour a day. I don't know who benifits more from our quality time together, her or me Do you have any pets that are extra special to you? PS.. I dont have URL's to post pics so... my avatar- suprise, is not me but my girl. She loves music, or maybe she just loves me .. she is always at my side. I'm lucky too, cause I can bring her to work with me many days as well. I work in a small office- where we are all dog lovers.
Members yisrael42 Posted October 23, 2007 Members Posted October 23, 2007 My wife and I have two dogs... The little girl on the left loves to listen to me play and sing... she will even listen to be play electric... I always thought it would have hurt her ears, but she never seems happier than when she is listening to me play and sing on my acoustic!!! I love these little dogs more than my guitars if that is believable! I never would have thought I would have a reason to share them on this forum though... good thought Amanda-Jane!
Members garthman Posted October 23, 2007 Members Posted October 23, 2007 Alas no. Two dogs, both (black) labrador / collie crosses, left this world early this year after a very long (eldest was 17) and happy life. The cat ceased to be a year before.
Members dhoenisch Posted October 23, 2007 Members Posted October 23, 2007 Well, I have two pets. First up is my cat, Killer. Trust me, she named herself after two days of receiving her. She doesn't like most people, gets violent if you anger her, which doesn't take much, and is just an all around cool cat. Some folks call her Freddy Kreuger. One thing that she does that I find both annoying and cool at the same time is, she loves it when I play my guitar, and she shows it by rubbing against it, usually on the strings by the sound hole. She's the reason I got so comfortable playing while standing. My other is Domino the box turtle. He's about 11 years old, at least, that's how long I've had him. Believe it or not, Killer loves him. When I let him out, she is always within a couple feet from him. This picture was taken about three years ago. Dan
Members 12Pack Posted October 23, 2007 Members Posted October 23, 2007 I once had a pet turtle.... it ran away.... So - I got a dog I call Cigarette. He has no legs. Every night I come home and take him out for a drag. *rim shot*
Members yisrael42 Posted October 23, 2007 Members Posted October 23, 2007 Thats good stuff! You should take it on the road:thu:
Members Freeman Keller Posted October 23, 2007 Members Posted October 23, 2007 so we were jammin' one night and the banjo player says to me "you know, your cat just peed in my banjo case?' and I said, "no, hum a couple of bars..."
Members Honey Bambi Posted October 23, 2007 Members Posted October 23, 2007 Yes I have one handsome dog! He is Pochi and a very sweet and kissable dog.
Members denvertrakker Posted October 23, 2007 Members Posted October 23, 2007 I have five grandpets. Same advantage as the grandkids, of which I also have five. You visit, you enjoy, you go home....no peeing around the house, no vet bills. My son has the aforementioned seriously off-center black Lab. My daughter has an English Mastiff, an Australian Shepherd, a very cool cat named Phoebe, and a strange little cat named Lindy who weighs next-to-nothing. And three kids. And my sympathy.
Members Simon76 Posted October 23, 2007 Members Posted October 23, 2007 First off here's my indoor pets. A 17lb Norwegian Forrest cat,, and my yellow Lab in the background. Then there's poor old Sinner. She has to stay outside because she has a terrible odor problem. I found her and her pups in an old abandonded shack in the hills of Virginia. She was just so ugly I had to call her Sinner, which is short for Ugly As Sin. You better sit down for this one.
Members Sisyphus2 Posted October 23, 2007 Members Posted October 23, 2007 can I buy one of those puppies??

Members Stackabones Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 Kinda looks like that photo was taken at an art gallery. Who's the artist/sculptor?
Members 12Pack Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 Terry Allen Hall has more animal pets then I do guitar picks.
Members Dan Hall Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 Kinda looks like that photo was taken at an art gallery. Who's the artist/sculptor? I've forgotten the guy's name. He's English and does a variety of way, way off the wall sculptures like that one. Nothing is precisely life size. Either smaller or larger than life. One I recall seeing is of a little boy that's about 20 feet tall. I think the first one, that drew a bunch of outrage was of the corpse of his father, nude, and about 3/4 size. Very strange but haunting too. Not bad, just not real comfortable. Here's mine:

She calls that piece "The Young Family". I think this is one with her pet ...
Members AugTPD Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 Just have the Weener Dog and a Yorkie. Niether one of them respect my guitar playing, only my willingness to share human food. Have had the Yorkie for five years and the weener dog for almost four.
Members Dan Hall Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 She calls that piece "The Young Family". I think this is one with her pet ... The one I'm thinking of is different. Definitly a guy. I guess this latex realism think has taken off. Like I said, makes you kinda uncomfortable to have human/animal forms mixed with such realism. Maybe that's why folks like scary movies.
Members denvertrakker Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 I guess this latex realism think has taken off. It's actually silicone & acrylic. Here's her website: http://www.patriciapiccinini.net/wearefamily/index.php?sec=yf&pg=01 Very creepy....
Members Terry Allan Hall Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 Terry Allen Hall has more animal pets then I do guitar picks. LOL...guilty! We also foster homeless dogs until they get adopted, so, at any one time, there may be anywhere from 3 to 15 more dogs around here...my wife's a push-over for an orphan pup, and I'm a push-over for her!
Members d03nut Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 a sun conure....the sunshine of my life....
Members kwakatak Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 I guess I'm the resident cat person. We have a 7 year-old Burmese who is pedigree but not show quality. She can be as affectionate as a dog but she's strictly an indoor cat since she has no survival instincts whatsoever and is a bit psychotic. She has an aversion to mice - she tends to jump on chairs when she sees one - as well as either a pure hatred or a sadistic attraction to my bare feet.
