Our current animals

[HOWsMom]

We have a couple of dogs :

This is Bo, our 8-yr old shepherd / collie mix :



And Pugsley, our 9-yr old pug/beagle mix :



We got both of these dogs for free from Kijiji ads.

And this is my 15+-yr old cat, Butterscoth :



She came from the Humane Society - she was roughly 6 months old, and we were her 6th owners.
She's friendly, but not social - definitely not a lap-cat by any means !

And we have 9 of these chiliean rodents - Degus - in three cages



We also have 4 running aquariums (75g, 20g, and 2x 5g)

They are all so adorable! I love Butterscotch's face

What a nice troop of pets you have sharing your home!

I am very impressed by Pugsly- usually people that have pugs overfeed them and for that reason I don't much care for them past their puppy stage. But Pugsly is still the handsome dog he should be. :judges:

What kind of fish do you have in your aquariums? I used to have cichlids and eels in my 100 gallon tank, but it has been empty for many years now. I miss having fish.

One 5-gallon aquarium is kept going as a quarantine / hospital tank - nothing in it but a few snails.

One 5-gallon aquarium has one male betta fish.

20-gallon has an albino bristlenose pleco, a couple sunset platies, a dwarf gourami, and shrimp.

75-gallon has an angelfish, sunset platies, rummynose tetras, diamond tetras, corydoras, bristlenose plecos, and blue-eyed chiclids

It's because he's a cross, not a pure pug I think.
He's not as barrel chested as a full pug is.

He's longer and taller - the beagle in his background showing through there.

Er... no. At least that isn't the case with the pugs I'm talking about. They are all ten or more pounds overweight and look appalling.

Besides, Beagles have a tendency to get fat while under the care of "too loving owners" too.

He looks good because you are a good caretaker. :yes:

Aww, thank you.

He is on a good kibble, measured amounts, few treats, etc.

He's a cute dog, can be sweet, but he had a rough start and can be rather cantankerous.
