Favorite Animal!!

[Casey]

OK!! so, since my color one failed cuz i was LITTLE too late, im doing an extra random thread!!

My favorite is cheetah! :D

[BrentRichards]

Boring, I know, but mine's a good old dog, hands down.

[Zerbie]

Bunnies!!!!!!!


Though I'm also especially fond of giraffes, elephants, whales, cheetahs, penguins. . . oh my, I could keep right on going here. :lol::lol:

[Casey]

YAY!! another cheetah fan!!! :D ;)

[sjbouza]

Well for me that is a very difficult question. My all time favorite animal is a mythical creature, although I do believe they did exist at one time. It is the DRAGON. As far as animals of today...I would have to say WOLF.

[Zerbie]

YAY!! another cheetah fan!!! :D ;)

We have over 100 stuffed animal friends. One is a cheetah cub who we picked up at the gift shop of the Phoenix Zoo last May. She's beautiful, and very playful. Her name is Checkers.

I also luvvvv wolves. Hubby really likes Dragons. And alligators, and T Rexes.

[Jennifer5]

I love all different animals.... but cats are my favorites!!! :agree:

I have a yen for a Schnauzer.

I have a yen for a Schnauzer named McKinley.

I have a yen for a Schnauzer named McKinley because I believe all Schnäuzer (that's my plural, by the way; I have no German linguistic confirmation that the plural of Schnauzer is Schnäuzer, but I can report that the plural of Haus is Häuser...so there you go) look like our former President William McKinley.

McKinley, as you might remember, was shot to death in Buffalo...which, when you think about it, is really redundant.

But, most of all, I have a yen for a Schnauzer named McKinley because these lovely dogs are, in fact, hypo-allergenic.

That is all.

[Vanessa White]

I have a choice in both categories. Love cats, have full and partial custody right now of five total. In my old age, we could most likely be cat ladies, with a houseful of twenty. I just love them so much.

Wild? Would have to be wolf as well. Wolf is my totem in Native American belief, and I have a tattoo of a wolf in a dream catcher on my left leg. Someday I will post a pic when I figure out how to do so...... :)

[BrentRichards]

I have a yen for a Schnauzer.

Did some quick research, and it appears you'll need quite a bit more than a yen for a Schnauzer. To be more precise, you'll need anywhere from about 42,000 - 120,000 yen.

Beautiful beagle! I miss my beagle ... she died last July. The dog vocalists!

[tdogg]

Horses, especially Arabians, especially my very special Arabian gelding Louie! But love all horses.

Next would be birds, crazy about them. Dream about them, go far away in search of them, have more than 200 on my life list so far. Love them birds!

Specifically, one is my all-time favorite single animal. That would be the precious love of my life Dot. She's a Yorkie Poo, or Porkie or Yoodle, her stage name is Lilly Lumkins (she does a fabulous impersonation of a pin-up girl and is quite the ballerina!). She is never going to die, she is going to live with me forever!! :love::love::love:

I love giraffs and wildebeasts too!

[Zerbie]

Oh! I totally forgot!

BATS!

I LOVE bats!

:cool:

[Pablo Rafael]

I feel like the kid who has to make a comment but then just repeats something that someone else has said because he can't think of anything original. Hand waving frantically in the air waiting to be called on.

I love wolves. I have a lot of wolf decorations about the house.
For pets, it's no question - dogs. I like big dogs that like to go on mountain bike rides and be outdoors. I always thinks that the creation of dogs proves that there is a God. (I know I astound you all with the depth of my theological reasoning.) :D

Tu Amigo, Pablo

[tpdncr4christ]

like hawks and condors and eagles. especially eagles.

dogs are cool... but I love how birds look when the fly. its just cool.

[tdogg]

Oh! I totally forgot!

BATS!

I LOVE bats!

:cool:

Me too!!!! :love::love::love:

Yeah Austin, I love raptors too. I especially love American Kestrels (small but fierce with sweet faces) but I think my favorite is Northern Harrier. They can swoop straight up or down, hover, are so graceful yet fierce and strong, and they have owl-like faces. I got a close-up once, shivers & awe!!

[antonyh]

My partner and I have a Green Anole called Liz. She gives us endless delight. She eats live crickets so grocery shopping is a challenge.

Many years ago, one of my sisters asked every family member individually, without telling what the others had each said: "If you could be any animal, what kind would you be?" Every one of us said we would be a dolphin.

I also love bunnies, kitties, puppies, cows, horses, lambs ... zebras, giraffes, elephants ... this could go on forever ... I love sooo many animals ... panda bears, koala bears, polar bears, penguins, otters, meerkats, lemurs, squirrels, deer, hummingbirds, peacocks, flamingos ...

My stuffed toy lizard named Eddie, after Eddie Izzard (gender variant comedian and actor) ... my stuffed animal collection, the sound of songbirds, the sound of seagulls, the sound of horses clomping on cobblestones ... watching colorful tropical fish swimming ... watching seabirds walking on their little webbed pad feet ... watching dog shows on TV, and the "Puppy Bowl" on Animal Planet during the Superbowl ...

Lions and Tigers and Bears ... oh my! (and your little dog too)

[tpdncr4christ]

I always have this dream of being a really rich prince like gentleman who lives in an estate in the country, who rides horses and plays chess, fences and does archery. i really want a hawk too... a big leather glove and the bird, on top of a horse with a bow to my back and a rapier at my side... that is my dream... yep.

sorry... random... but we were talking about birds... and hawks are just so cool

[ladyinred]

My favorite animal is the dog. Don't have one now, but dammit want one.LOL

[kimmyd]

If it's dogs, Weiner dogs rule.

Otherwise, Elephants. They are graceful and beautiful.

[kimmyd]

I just adopted another one. The pounds are overflowing, baby!!

[d_pedr]

Graey to hear I'm not the only batty bat lover!

Also like Owls, and

Giant Pandas - they seem so laid back!

[Zerbie]

Time to bump a fun thread!!

Any new additions to the discussion? Anyone who hasn't yet weighed in?

Recently I have come to have great admiration for Snake.

Zerbie,
I love you dearly but I am not getting a snake avatar.

[Zerbie]

Zerbie,
I love you dearly but I am not getting a snake avatar.

:lol::lol::lol: Did someone ask you to? :lol: Yer funny. :love:

Hmm, snake avatar. Maybe for Danny, since he identifies with Severus Snape of Slitherin House. :lol:

OR! I could change my avatar from the green-eyed pigtailed little Zerbie girl to a picture of a snake. Might change my image. ;)

Hey Paul - you haven't told us any favorite animals. Which are your faves? And what animal(s) do you identify with? Have any totems or power animals?

Paul, or anyone else playing: Tag!! You're it!

[Zerbie]

Wild? Would have to be wolf as well. Wolf is my totem in Native American belief, and I have a tattoo of a wolf in a dream catcher on my left leg. Someday I will post a pic when I figure out how to do so...... :)

Just found this about wolf totems:

Don't go encouraging Danny to change his avatar.

I've been likened to a gazelle. my martial arts animal is a tiger, I have a mean axe kick which patterned after a cat striking with it's claw. I have always been fond of cats. and love maltese dogs.

[Zerbie]

:lol::p
Yeah, our Daniel's a hottie. Let's leave that gorgeous photo up there after all. :lol:

:love::love::love:
I love gazelles. They have such grace. They appear gentle and delicate also.

In what way have you been likened to a gazelle?

Remind me not to get in a fight with you! :eek: Or my flesh would be ripped from bone!! :shield:

[Zerbie]

This page has fun and cool stuff about animal totems. Also has some really cool music - have your sound turned on.

Wow! There's so much out there I've never thought about. Life is fascinating.

[daniel Ray]

You can lead a horse to water but you cant make him walk on it. I find them to be most noble in friendship. They make excellent teachers, just try doing something they dont like.

Foxes are graceful and witty, independent like a kitty,
i'm no poet, so i wrote this little diddy to show it.

[scott snedeker]

Otters!!! of course

[Zerbie]

Here's even more fun stuff!!

Thanks, DR, for mentioning foxes. I believe you are the first fox-phile to post here.

Scotty - we all knew you would identify with Otter! So perfect for you! :D

Here's the cool stuff I found today:

[Weill.Zarin.]

Ahaha.
I would have to say my favorite animal is a fruit bat.

[Zerbie]

Ahaha.

I love bats!!!! :love::love:

We recently installed desert plants in the front yard, some of which bats like to eat. Don't know if any bats will make it our way, though.

[Sherrie Z]

If you could be any type of animal (or bird or sea critter), aside from a human animal, which type would you want to be?

I would like to be a dolphin or an otter : )

[perejean]

If I had an exotic pet (which i wouldn't) I would like a bear. No pun or double entendre intended. I once ran into a black bear in the woods of New England's Berkshires. She (I'm sure it was a she dont know why) was scratching her back against a tree. I looked at her, she looked at me, then she yawnedand lumbered off into the woods. I've been a bear fan ever since.

[marutidas]

There to many to choose from,

I like snakes, boston terriors, tarantulas, cats, monkeys, tigers, rats and suger gliders, swans.....oh yeah and sqiud and octapi.....

I could just go on and on and on and on...

[tymejumper]

Oh! I totally forgot!

BATS!

I LOVE bats!

:cool:



My favorite is the wolf I think. They are loyal and mate for life. My mythelogical creature favorite is unicorns(really gay right?). Ellies is big cats of all types, but favorite cat is snow leopard or white tigers, my teen is a cat person, dragon for mythological, my son is a tried and true bat person. His room is painted like a cave, to his specifications and has bat pictures all over the place. My little one likes, get this, bugs, squash bugs, she collects them from the garden every year. She wants to be an Entamologist!

[antiochian]

Dogs: Chihuahuas, Labs, Rat terriers, Greyhounds
Cats: Egyptian Maus, Devon/Cornish Rexes, Russian Blues
Other: Fish. They're beautiful, mysterious and graceful creatures, for the most part. I love Northern pike, largemouth bass, and I adore catfish.

[RedneckDyke]

I love old hound dogs. My good ol' hound Tammy Faye Barker died. But I have another old hound Hank. He's a good 'ol boy. AROOOOOO HOOOUUUNNNDDDS AROOOOOOO.

I also like armadillos and pigs (fun to raise and tasty too). I like cats and giraffes and elephants a lot.

[Zerbie]

my son is a tried and true bat person. His room is painted like a cave, to his specifications and has bat pictures all over the place.

:eek: Like a cave?! You let him do this? Cool. :p:cool:
I LOVE it.

You have interesting kids. :D:tup::love:

Oh and - wolves are nice animals.

Anyone here like snakes?

[Zerbie]

Oh, it's so cute! You are raising these critters, Scotty?

[scott snedeker]

mini poies mini cows ducks peacocks, sheep, goats, and chickens:)

[Rick336]

I like rabbits because they lay eggs in the shrubbery. Colored ones.

Scotty, you have peacocks!?
Are they noisy?

[scott snedeker]

peacocks are very noisy this time of year

you can come down any time sweetie!

[Zerbie]

you can come down any time sweetie!

Seriously? :) :D

Where the heck is Fort Pierce? My parents live inland someplace about 2 hours from both Tampa and Orlando. If you're anyplace near there, maybe I actually *could* pop by!!! :eek: :)

[scott snedeker]

Your folks place could be as close as 30 min or as far as 4 hours from fort pierce. Fort pierce is south east of orlando by 2 hours on the east coast.

What town do they live in?

Hmm. I don't *think* it's close then (but I'm not good at geography either.)

Ocala.

[Gennee]

I'm partial to bears because I'm a teddy bear fanatic.

Gennee


:)

[scott snedeker]

Ocala is about 3.5 hours from fort pierce so it would be 7 hours round trip driving

[Zerbie]

Scotty:

7 hours! :eek: Eeek! Well, I dunno, maybe, maybe not!

I would say we could meet in Orlando sometime, but I'm only in Orlando when I'm with my parents. Not sure that would be any fun for you! :disagree::lol:

Anyway, the point was to meet the peacocks and other critters.
:(

BTW to Gennee: I LOVE teddy bears! We have so many of them, too! How many do you have?

I have three thus far and counting.

Ohh, you better catch up! :p We must have at least 15. :lol:

Aw. No. A few quality bears are all you need. :love::love:
