Best thing / Worst thing about your pet
I know we all love our pets and accept them unconditionally but most of us must admit there is probably something we that drives us nuts .
So .... what do you love most about your pet? and what one thing would you change if you could? Me first . Riley - black labrador almost five years old. His best thing is his ability to make me laugh with his absolute enthusiasm for life. His worst thing is his over-the-top ball obsession combined with his refusal to give up the ball when requested . Desi - 11 year old tortoiseshell cat. Her best thing is that she is very social and is always sitting next to one of us. Her worst thing ..... she has that lovely "tortitude" thing . Fred - 9 year old Maine Coone mix cat. His best thing is that he is so very "dog like" and is therefore the perfect blend for our very "cat like" tortie. His worst thing is that he has a tendancy to poop in inappropriate places (getting much better since adding butternut squash to his meals ).

and to be fair my pets would probably say my worst quality is ........
Riley - Expects me to give her my ball just cause she asks . Desi - Expects me to cuddle her at her every whim even if I am having a princess moment . Fred - She doesn't clean the litterbox every 30 minutes and doesn't share enough of her popcorn with me .

Oh fun! Let me see...
Sparks (calico kitty). Best thing: she loves absolutely everyone, a true ambassador for kitties everywhere. Worst thing: she's not so bright this one (honestly, dumb as a post - blond, blond, blond). Yeti ( himalayan kitty). Best thing: himi love! Follows me everywhere. Devoted to the end. Worst thing: follows me everywhere - he's SO going to get stepped on one day - that, and the ever present "opinions" I hear about all day long! Pepin (dwarf bunny). Best thing: binkies! They're sort of like zoomies but with aerials. Worst thing: digging in the hay basket and firing it half way cross the room with a close second being chewing the hems off of all my pants. And I would't have them any other way!

Oops! Forgot Jollup (Senegal parrot). Best thing: his imitation skills - doorbells, cell phones, cats, dogs, chickens, the kettle whistling, car horns, sirens, squeaky hinges... Worst thing: several years ago he decided he liked my husband better and now I can't handle him at all anymore without loss of blood. But, he chats and whistles at me all the time so we still enjoy each other's company - just from opposite sides of the cage bars!

Leo's best attributes are his calmness and responsiveness, his reserved enthusiasm, he occasional excitement and the funny looks he gives
Worst attributes, he is hard to make enthusiastic and convince to play, he no longer retrieves and wants us to chase him for the ball instead, his chasing cats, sometimes he prefers to follow his nose... |

Skitter- best: loves to cuddle with me
worst: growls and gets all funny with another cat, (but I know that is normal) Doola- best: the most loving cat, I have ever met. Loves everyone and everybody, doesn't hiss and go on with other cats, just wants to let you know, that she is there for them. worst: tries to run out the door whenever, someone comes in, but we are working on that Missy- I can't really go with much here, since I am just still getting to know here but she is extremely lovable and last night, she decided to jump on my bed and purr and headbutt and meow in my face all night. At least I know she is fitting in |

I thought about doing that but it would take up the better part of a page if I did. I have to work very shortly. No way I have time. We'll see about later.

Harley his worst thing is his over compensating fear I get you before you get me with other dogs
He is the most cuddly dog and a mamma's boy, he reads my emotions extremely well, and even was able to detect that I was having a seisure and stayed beside me whole time, allowed me to use him to get up..... Best dog ever... Mercy - Nose on the ground all times looking for food She has come out of her shell and is 80% at recall ( a dog with trust issue ) that is amazing Chopper his late night attack antics to poor missy _ his undying affection towards kayla Missy ; Honestly there is not one bad thing I can say about this cat, she is the most affectionate creature I have ever met, towards my family as well as the dogs.. |

This is a great thread!
Bayley - Best - She's very good with my Mom and that's a good thing especially when I'm not home and Mom has to put her on her tie out. She sits very politely and waits for her to clip her on. She's also very good with her kitties, even Noella. Worst - Absolutely loves to steal the cats' toys. Sometimes likes to totally tune me out! Bobee oldest cat - Best - he's a real lovey kitty, always knows when you're not feeling well and will come and snuggle and keep you warm. Worst - Likes to pick fights with Nino, just lots of noise but it can get annoying especially when Nino lets out one of his Bobcat screams! Also loves trying to open the back porch door! Coco - Best - He's extremely mellow and easy going, doesn't ask for much. Worst - He likes to pee on anything that Bayley has, especially her bed when she had one, which is why she doesn't have one anymore Also hates to be brushed and will yell like I'm pulling his hair out by the roots one at a time! Nino - Best - He's absolutely gorgeous! He's coming out of his shell, still. Gives great lovies, although I'm surprised I don't have bruises from his heavy duty kneading! Worst - His Bobcat style scream when he gets mad at Bobee..good lord, the first time I heard it, scared the caca right out of me!! Noella - Best - well she's a kitten, she's learned her name! Can pretty much hold her own against Bobee. Worst - She's so bloody persistent!! Has her day and night screwed up! But she's sooo funny! I never thought I'd have this many critters |

Brina, the best, just about everything about her, how she allows the daycare children to use her as a raceway for their hotwheels, how she's so friendly, how she behaved so wonderfully in her commercial, how she helps pups and any wildlife we bring into the house, her puppy ways and the way she cuddles up to me.
her worse *L* wow, the list could be as long, her drooling, how she is too super friendly (had to quit agility because each new judge that sat down ended up with Brina on their lap) how she catches live mice and gently carries them INTO the house but most of all, her "talking" back whenever company is over....drives you to distraction which is her aim. Timothy (chinchilla) his best, how he holds the daycare childrens finger and rubs his face against them. his comical bouncing off the walls when he's out playing. his worse, how he barks and barks till Brina goes in to see him and then he rushes his cage to scare her when she gets up close! |

Okay, here goes my gang:
Vlad: Best-Mr Social butterfly. Official greeter and anythingnew inspector. Worst-Constantly annoys Oksana to the point where she has anxiety issues and has to be medicated on a regular basis. Oksana: Best-Incredibly good about having her medicine given to her. Beautiful soft fur. Quiet dainty girl. Worst-An absolute terror when you try clipping her nails. I now have to take her to the vet and have them do it. It's a two man job with her. Maks: Best-Friendliest little guy. Loving, purr machine. Wants to be friends with the others, never so much as heard him hiss or growl. Worst-VERY skittish. Insists on rubbing his face on everything and likes to pee standing up. Kiska: Best-Sweet girl. First to meet me at the door. Loves standing on my lap and making biscuits. Worst-Moews alllllllllllllllllllll the time. Czari: Best-Cuddle monster. Loves to cuddle and has to sleep next to me. Coos instead of meowing. Worst-Short fuse.

Lady, Cocker Spaniel: Best, makes it impossible to be sad or mad when you take her for a walk. She just loves the outdoors and will run ahead with one ear flung over the back of her head and then run back to you with her tounge hanging out sideways of the silliest doggy grin you have ever seen. Worst, her fur. There's way too much of it, it's not water resistant (she's a water dog for G*d's sake!) and has to be constantly clipped around the face and paws or it's completely unmanageable.
Crush, DLH cat: Best, will let you do ANYTHING to him. He's been dressed in doll clothes, used as a book stand while cuddling, turned upsidedown, had medicine shoved down his throat 3 times a day for 10 days and the worst thing he's ever done is accidentally scratched me while trying to push my hand away. And then he looked at me with the bigges "I'm so sorry" cat eyes you've ever seen. Worst, again the fur. He was a rescue so I had to teach him how to groom himself and he's never quite gotten the hang of it. He frequently comes in with slugs imbedded in his fur, not to mention burs, pine needles and twigs.
