Hi,
i just found this site last night and am so happy to see that there are other "crazy" animal people out there!  We have 5 animals in our family-Binky the Pyr is our newest addition-and all of our friends think we're insane.  I'm happy to see so many other multiple animal families.  Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.  Here's a pic of feeding time at the zoo!

Yeah, we're crazy but relatively harmless!  Welcome to the asylum!  We all have a great time sharing stories about our furry four-legged loves.  I have three cats and two Newfoundlands:  Cowboy an almost 3 year old Landseer and Chester, a 7 month old brown.  It's crazy here, but we love it!

Three newfs?!  Wow!  They are such great dogs.  I love having so many animals.  I it's great coming home and having the "herd" greet me and the fact that, no matter where I go in the house, there's sure to be animal or two wherever I look!

3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 horses ...wouldn't have it any other way! They give my life meaning & the reason why I get up everyday & go to work (so I can keep buying food for everyone!)

Crazy?  Who you callin' crazy?

Currently, I only have two dogs, my husky/shepherd mix Keiko, and my great dane puppy Gunther, along with my cockatiel Lacy, and horse Pepper (although she lives at my parents).

When we move next spring and hopefully buy a house, we will for sure be adding a cat, and perhaps another dog.  We'll have to wait and see.

Well, check me into the BPO asylum, too. Currently we have 11 cats (4 hurricane refugees, 1 foster, 1 hurricane refugee and 5 of our own) and 6 dogs (2 fosters, one who will probably remain permanent; and 4 of our own).

Dogs are (from big to small):

Colle/Golden Retriever mix: Oasis (ours)
Female Red Merle Aussie: Trina (hurricane refugee)
Australian Cattle Dog: Mia (foster-to-adopt??)
Male red Merle Aussie: Rocko (ours)
Beagle: Buster Brown (ours)
Brain Damaged Australian Cattle Dog mix: Bindi (formerly foster, now ours because she is not adoptable)

I'd list the cats, but this isn't SCO (Spoiled Cats Only) so I won't bore you.

Hey jjfritsche ,
You sound like our house some times. Last mouth we had 10 foster cats besides our own animals. I know for us it's something we enjoy to do and also have a hard time saying no to a new foster, knowing that they need a place to stay.

No?? What's that mean. Is that some kind of foreign language or something???
: Re: Other crazy people
: doglover September 20, 2005, 03:06:07 PM
I think it is and I'm not good at foreign languages ;D. Maybe that's why I don't know it. I'm kind of glad I don't live where you do, I could just imagine what my house would look like. lol

You guys are great!  I knew I couldn't be the only person who wants to fill the house with animals!  My husband cannot believe how many animals some of you all have.  He is getting nervous because I am becoming more inspired to add to our family-once we move out to the country (hopefully within the next year).  I would love to foster cats and dogs but I don't think I would be able to part with them...

In the famous words of Jimmy Buffett, "If we weren't all crazy, we would go insane."   :D

Welcome to BPO, land of the wacky pet owners!  I'm owned by Ranger, a 10 mo. old Greater Swiss Mountain Dog and Tigger, the 8 year old cat. 

Post pictures!  We love 'em!

Welcome Aboard Binky!
This is a GREAT place to spend some time.
Except, I'm not CRAZY!
But everyone around here is!
And I'm not paranoid. I KNOW everyone is out to get me!
Ahh...I feel so much better since I gave up HOPE!

This is a great place for us crazies!  My friends all confirmed that I went over the edge into craziness this past weekend when I brought a foster dog home to share space & love with Casper (2 1/2 y/o Kuvasz), Bella (9 m/o Great Pyrenees), Lucy (4 m/o Pyr/Border collie mix) & Chessie the cat (2 1/2 y/o)!   Yeah for us crazies!!!  My foster is Pearl (who should really be called "Mini-Pearl") & is a 6 m/o Pyr. ;D
