BoxerRescueMTL May 22nd, 2006 11:17 AM

Hi I'm Crystal. I grew up with cats, dogs, birds and horses. I live with my SO, Chris - who didn't grow up with any pets and is allergic to dogs but he deals because he loves them. We have 2 boxers, Vegas (almost 3yrs) and Dudley (8-10yrs ish). We have two dsh cats, Baby and Poonie. We love senior dogs and always have a spot or two for them to spend their "retirement" living the good life. We help run [url]http://www.boxerrescuequebec.com[/url] We also have a Uromastyx named Molly. Oh and two foster boxers, Winnie and Fergus.

I grew up on a habby farm that had cows, horses, pigs and chickens. There have always been dogs and cats around me as well. I am currently the dedicated human for one cat, female age 9, named Pringles and one dog, male, age 1.5 years, named Charley. Also living in this household are my boyfriend with his dog and cat as well as a room-mate and her cat.
And yes, we realise there are more animals than humans in this place but they all get along so its ok.

LianneCatherine May 22nd, 2006 12:39 PM

Hiya, I'm Lianne and I currently have 3 babies:

1) Pokey - Red Eared Slider Turtle (4 years old)
2) Scout - Black Kitty (2 years old)
3) Audrie - Yorkshire Terrier (6 mos. old)

During the summer I sometimes do foster care for kittens, so last summer I had my babies plus 5 kittens! Looking forward to 2 more this season.

:D

doggy lover May 22nd, 2006 04:00 PM

Hi I'm Diane, I was born in England but I am a :ca: . I live in Scarborough Ont.I have lots of pets Tucker my 2 year old BC that everyone knows. 2 cats 1 from a barn the other from a store, a bearded dragon and lots of fish. In the past I have owned just about every pet you could think of birds, rabbits, frogs, lizards and so on. I have a cottage near Owen Sound and I love the country, I use to have a trailer on my friends farm that raises Black Angus cattle. I have two children a 18 year old daughter and a 16 year old son. We are all animal crazy,:crazy:

Stacer May 22nd, 2006 07:11 PM

I'm Stacy in Toronto. My man and I have 2 cats Angus(m) and Finn(f). He didn't have pets growing up, but my family has always had cats. Growing up we had Tigger, her daughter Snuggles (named by my little brother), Speck and her son Stupid, don't worry everyone was eventually spayed or neutered. Tigger was a stray that hung around our house, so we eventually let her inside and she made herself at home, she was pregnant so we kept her only surviving baby. Speck was a kitten when her I found on my paper route when I was 12, unfortunately we didn't get her spayed quickly enough, she had a litter of 4, we kept her only son. When we finally buy a house we'd like to get dogs (I want 2, but the man says no way, only 1. We'll see about that ;) ). I'm aunt to 2 cats, Finch and Murray, a JRT named Belle and an albino hedgehog named Tumbleweed.

Melei'sMom May 22nd, 2006 09:02 PM

My name is Teresa. We live in Alberta with 1 Shih-tzu cross(Melei), a golden gecko(Apollo), Syrian Hamster (Deliah), 2 Bettas(Percy & Ming-Yu), and a guppy tank with a pleco(Eureka).

I am allergic to the hamster, but my daughter keeps her in the bedroom and superclean so it doesn't bother me too much, and I am supposedly allergic to cats and dogs, but only cats bug my eyes, no dog ever has.

dragon_queen May 23rd, 2006 08:51 AM

My name is Melissa, I live on the South Shore near Montreal. I have two Australian water dragons ( Bandit - male and Lola - female, lizards). I have had many types of pets over the years and I loved them all.

Swanky_Kitten May 23rd, 2006 10:24 AM

My name is Kelly. I have a Papillon named Maxx and a Maine Coon named Sabrina (sabrina is bigger then maxx :o lol) I also look after a friends westie.. he's like my own fur baby :crazy:

Dogastrophe May 23rd, 2006 08:10 PM

I'm Randy (aka Rick). I'm a Maritime kid who is presently residing in Halifax with my wife and three wonderful mutts:

Monty - age 8ish; terrier / porty / ?? mix
Lucy - age 2 1/2; border terrier mix
Jack - age 1 1/2; yorkie / silky / devil mix

I grew up with dogs. My first dog as a kid / teenager was a black lab / old english sheepdog mix named Thumper (big and goofy! He went over the bridge about 17 years ago ... I still have a lock of his hair in a shoebox). He had similiar markings to my (much smaller) Monty. When I first started dating my now wife, she had a cockapoo named Bambie.

I've tended red eared sliders many years ago.

Bushfire2000 May 23rd, 2006 08:55 PM

Bushfire, present family four dogs, one HB and two sons. Recently added a mini horse"Sunshine" to the family.

In the past I've had too many pets to name or even list properly. Grew up spending time between country and city. Had cats, rabbits, dogs, horses, sheep, turtles, turkeys, geese, chickens, cows, hamsters, budgies, canaries,fish of all kinds, that's all that comes to mind at the moment. I guess I can list them.

Luvmypit May 25th, 2006 01:38 PM

Been on this site for a while now and check it constantly...... Love it!

[QUOTE=Luvmypit] Not to mention my turtle who ran away ....[/QUOTE]

was he that fast:eek: ;)

jesse's mommy May 25th, 2006 04:07 PM

I too had a turtle that ran away! She was a South Carolina Boxer and her name was Gertie. It was summer and she loved being outside so we built her a pen around a rose bush and she dug her way out. :sad: I was so upset.

SunGurl372 May 25th, 2006 07:09 PM

Kristen, from Jacksonville, FL.

I have a 1 1/2 year old Beagle mix (with GSD, Dobie, who knows???).

I've always been a dog lover, and always been slightly wary of cats. Not sure why.

To be completely honest, Harley has been my first successful stint at dog ownership. I've lost three previously due to bad choices in significant others. Horrible to not only fail at a relationship, but to lose your furbaby in the process.

Now that I'm independant, no one has a say in my baby but me!

AliSam May 26th, 2006 10:07 AM

[COLOR="Navy"]Just found this thread. Cool.

My signature pretty much says it all. I live in Clarington, just east of Oshawa, Ontario Canada. I am not allergic to any of my pets, although when the water needs to be changed in Sasha's tank, I am allergic to the smell. Sam, Sasha & Josie allow my hubby and I to share their home with them. Food is of the greatest importance to them.[/COLOR]

Trinitie June 19th, 2006 10:51 PM

It's been forever and a day since I last posted, so I figured this would be a good place to start.

I have two dogs, and 3 children (also a bit like pets - they act the same).

Married, and from Canada, I may say "eh" a few too many times.

Welcome to all the new members, and HI to all those I haven't seen in a LONG while!

Puppyluv June 19th, 2006 11:17 PM

Trinitie, it's been ages! You're one of my fave mods! Probably 'cause I love the name, and as your moniker says, You're fair. Welcome back!

silver_loba June 19th, 2006 11:53 PM

lewisw June 20th, 2006 04:35 AM

I'm, Lewis newly joined here since adopting Dani an 12 month young Golden/border collie mix who is the newest love of my life. I also have a 14yr old son and 17 year old daughter. My wife is also very fond of Dani as she only met her when the kids and I brought her to her new forever home.

We live in DDO and frequent centenial park for our nightly sppedwalk around the lake which Dani loves to strut her stuff along the walk stopping to say hello to any dog she meets on the way.

I love this board and check in daily.

I run a warehouse for a very popular fashion chain here in Montreal and they have 180 stores around the country. I also own one of the top "fitness sites" according to google search which is a hobby/side business that keeps me pretty occupied.

I love getting to know you all here as your great personalitys show up on all your posts.

Sincerely,
Lewis

Beau'sMom June 20th, 2006 07:40 AM

My name is Kelly. I am married with a daughter 14, a boy 11 and Annie the cat who is 10.

We just went through a bad experience doing a rescue where we were lied to and given a dog with a history of biting. Not knowing the history my daughter was bitten and will be scarred but fortunately just on her arm.

We are currently looking to rescue a young beagle in the GTA from an honest rescue. Knowing the negatives does not mean we won't take the animal it just allows us to be best preparred. :thumbs up

mastifflover June 20th, 2006 10:34 AM

My name is Robin and I live in the High Park area. I am female and owned by Buddy an English Mastiff. When working I am in the film biz. I have had a lot of dogs in my life my last was Boo a Neopolitan Mastiff (rescue) who turned me into a Mastiff junkie. Most of my dogs have been rescues english bulldog (George) Bloodhound (Jake) Bullmastiff (Maximillian), Sharpei (Jazz) Puli (Bailey) Jazz and Bailey were from breeders (very reputable and still in biz today) but they were not show quality and that is why I bought them. But since then only rescues and hopefully another mastiff soon. I have been hanging around here for a few years now
