Well, my favorite animal is the horse. I wish it wasn't, because it's so clishe for girls to love horses, but I can't help it. :P And my only pet is my hamster... oh, don't get me started on that absolutely perfectly awesomely ROCKING TO THE SKIES DWARF HAMSTER!!!!!!! See what you've done now? (Just kidding)

 

-A devoted slave of the adored little fuzzy beastie in the cage that I really need to clean, but I'm not that devoted a slave. :P

Umm... I don't have a favorite animal.

I don't particularly like dogs.  (Absolutely no offense to all you who do, I'm just very uncomfortable around aggressive things.)

 

As for pets, I have two kitties, Casey (girl) and JoJo (boy), and the cutest little Netherland dwarf bunny that you've ever seen.  When I got her, she fit on the palm of my hand, (I was eight, and still had small hands) and was the most adorable little animal I'd ever seen.  I fell immediately in love with the tiny fur ball.  Unfortunately, she did not return the favor.  She's scared to death by me, and I don't know why.  I try to be as gentle and loving as I can, but still, she always hides behind her litter box and thumps her foot when I open her cage.

Gotta go.  Sorry if there're any mistakes, I don't have time to go over it.  :D

My hamster does that to me too. She prefers me to other people and feels safe when she's out of her cage and I've got her, but she hates me when she's "free" like in her cage or if I set her down on a table. Strange little beasties, aren't they?

Haha, when they were both alive, my gerbils were like that, too!!!  Like, I'd reach my hand in to pet Pepsi, and he'd randomly bite me...  I don't know if he thought my hand was a giant carrot or what!! :) And Cat is sort of like that too, but he's just a grump.  If you pet him for longer than 3.98 seconds, he bites you.  I'm VERY glad he doesn't have claws!! :D:D:D:D

Ow!!  Well, you are lucky, because JoJo also bites after a few seconds of petting, and he has claws!

Hey, when you would reach for Pepsi, did you reach towards his face?  Cause I've heard that makes them bite.

 

Hazel used to bite me too, but she's gotten a little gentler in her older age.   :D

Hi,    

I love horses! We have one Amazing Quarter Horse mare, one Andalusian-Arab cross filly and two Miniature horses.  I also like cats and some dogs, too.

Its not what kind of animal I like. Its the kind of animals I DON'T like.  And there is only ONE species I don't like.  And that is humans.

 

OK.  I have three dogs, one cat, and one hamster.  My oldest dog, Casadi/Cassie, is fourteen.  He is my dads first dog.  he is deaf, and his teeth are bad.  Sometimes when he's in the creek with us, he kind of walks in sinking mud old-manish.  Hes also tired a lot.  But he play-fights with our youngest dog, Quinn.

Now, for quinn.  Quinn is our youngest og, his nicknames are, Chubby puppy (And trust me, he is chubby, his stomach almost touches the floor.), Quinny, Whinny, Whinneythe pooh, and other things that I can't remember at this moment.  He likes annoying people.  he wants people to pet him (Expeshially his butt) ALL THE TIME.  He likes jumping in the creek.  And hes a jealous dog.  He wants al the attention.  he does tricks for Autmn.  Like sit, lay, jump, up, stay, and jump throught the hoop.

P-J, our second youngest dog, has not belonged to us all the time.  She used to belong to a other man.  He had kicked her and her leg was broken.  He didn't even bring her to the vet.  So mom and dad brought her to the vet, her leg ha to get amputated.  So P-J, is a three-legged-dog.  We thought that maybe P-J ment something, so we named her.  Her name is paprika Josie.  Or P-Josie.  She runs up to the street a lot.  

Now, for liger, our cat.  he was found in our glove basket.  On the front porch.  the first thing he ate in this house was, plain yogurt.  he looks like a liger cat.  Half lion, half tiger.  Hes sweet, but annoying in the middle of the night.  he scratches sometimes.  when people annoy him.

And now, (Finnally,) Joey, Autumns hamster.  He's cute.  But in the middle of the night he wakes me up.  HIs wheel makes a lot of noie.  And My room is downstairs, close to his little hampster cage.  he poops little hamster turds on me when I hold him.  He only bit Autumn twice, when he was chewing on her thumb nail, he slipped and ct her finger.  And then the second time.  He bit kinda hard.  I don't know why.  And now i am staring at the little sleeping hamster, in his hamster bed.  

And my grandma has a lot of cats.  On little cat got born a few days ago.  Her/his eyes are still closed.  the kittens moms name is Roxie.  The kittens name is Sam until we figure out is it is a girl or a boy.  If its a girl, then its name is rosa, If its a boy, Rosco.

Poor little Sam died.  :(  And all she saw was blackness.  Her eyes didn't even open yet.

My grandma also has a cat that sounds like he would be in a book.  Here's what he looks like: He is pure white.  His right eye is light green.  His left eye is different shades of blue.  He scratches and bites your arm a lot, so we named him "Pierce".
