DU group! DU Pets! All Pets! not species specific...

Let's talk about our pets here. Training, nutrition, health, fashion, daycare boarding, toys, reading material, sites, etc!

We could post pix of new DU pets and suggest names! We could be a support group for pet parent grief. We could do DU pet adoptions...that is if something happens and a DUer can't take care of their pet we could post pix for adoptions.

We could discuss pet state laws, liike How come people drive around with their dogs in the back of trucks with them secured with ropes if they are secured @ all.

IS you dog or cat jealous of DU? I bought an ABB baby bib for my chihuahua.

16. Yes, we love having them around
One of the main reasons we haven't landscaped our property. I'd much rather see animals than a manicured lawn.

32. Oka y, but ...
any pet I've ever had was a conservative. The ways things are is the way things should stay. My dog looked freaked out whenever I varied our walking route; he acted as though I had lost my mind.
Do we really want a forum where we essentially talk about conservatives? :)

I've never wanted to post .jpg's in "general discussion" threads, for fear that dialup DUers would feel left out. But if there was a little group just for that ... well, yeah!

44. My cats would love to be included..
especially since they like to help me on the computer anyway.

I have four neutered male cats currently. Three of them are littermates and the other one is about 9 years older than the brothers.

all are wonderful snuggly sweeties. If I can figure out how to post their pictures I will do so.

Thomas, Lewis, Clark and Catzilla all say Hello
