JJ610 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'm thinking about getting a dog after my first year more or less. I'll be starting in Ann Arbor this August. When I visited during the prospective visits, it seemed that every apartment I saw has pet rent, and it suddenly dawned on me that I'm finally going to be earning a full living stipend (which feels amazing after being in college and dependent on my parents and a collection of assorted scholarships) and I could possibly be able to have a dog. If you haven't already adopted a dog, you should check out Humane Society of Huron Valley. I've lived in Ann Arbor for about two years now and have taken multiple animals that I've found to their "lost and found" shelter Everyone there is really friendly and informative!

GreenePony Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 NEVER get an apartment with carpet flooring.. N-E-V-E-R Carpet Rake. Perfect for a carpet with a double coated breed. Though you feel disgusted when you see the softballs of fur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
child of 2 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 oh I'm talking about the fallouts of trying to toilet train some uncooperative cats, which consists of coming home from work to find a big surprise on your carpet. With a wooden floor, this would never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caylynn Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Love seeing all the photos of everyone's pets! Here are our three crazy cats:My husband is allergic to cats, but fortunately isn't allergic to Sphynx! (Some people with cat allergies can tolerate Sphynx, some can't.)As I type this, the youngest is curled up in my lap, purring away. They are the sweetest, most affectionate cats I've ever met. fancyfeast, callista, deci:belle and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhDerp Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Oh my goodness, peeeets!! :3 I have a kitty right now, I'll put up pictures of her eventually. Once I'm at my program and comfortable, I'm getting a dog. (Don't tell my S.O.! ) I kind of just want to adopt an old, lazy dog, one that just wants to be loved. I won't get any animal I don't have time to take good care of! In the long run, I want a big dog... A dog that I can ride into battle.

HicklePickle Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 My pugs are the PERFECT apartment and low key pets. They are both two and just want to be on the couch all day. Or, in your lap. Or cuddling with each other. Seriously. If you want an easy dog... Adopt a pug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overworkedta Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I have a chi mix. He's pretty darn low-key minus his foibles. He was abused by a past owner and turned into AC about 3 or 4 years old. He's now going to be 7 or 8 this year. Just starting to get long in the tooth but perfectly healthy. He has a submissive urination problem which basically means that he will pee when he is nervous or in certain situations. It's annoying but it's one of the few annoying things. The BF helps out with him and "babysits" when he can. Although, I'm not sure I can call it that anymore because he's basically my dog's adoptive dad by now. Here he is in the car on the way back to my parents in his Indiana jersey and seatbelt. He loves travelling. DeafAudi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overworkedta Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Aww thanks. Too bad he knows just how cute he is. He's a very good boy. Almost killed me by freaking out on our ice slick drive today but he's just a nervous guy when it's cold out. He gets me out and about even when I don't want to move!

deci:belle Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Glad to see this post. I have a 5 year old Red Eared Slider turtle. He's a really smart turtle. He decorates his tank differently everyday by pushing the rocks and gravel around. Sometimes he arranges them by color, sometimes by size order, and other times he does different patterns like zig zags and circles. I don't know why he does it but its a trip every time to see! Also, he reacts differently to peoples faces. My parents took care of him while I was away for undergrad since I lived in a dorm all 4 years which means no pets allowed. I might bring him with me for grad school though to keep me company. Love seeing all the photos of everyone's pets!

As I type this, the youngest is curled up in my lap, purring away. They are the sweetest, most affectionate cats I've ever met. OMG, I want a Spynx cat SO BADLY. No one understands them but I think theyre beautiful. It's going to be the first thing on my list once I'm settled down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be the first thing on my list once I'm settled down. Love this! People always think I'm a little weird when I describe my sliders as having personalities! They completely do. I rescued mine when I was an undergrad back in 2009 after they were found in the bathrooms of the freshman dorms. Unfortunately, they've had to stay with my parents when I moved 1600 miles for grad school. My 11 year old sister gets to enjoy them now though! deci:belle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectastic Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) My babies, my life!! <3 Taffy, a Persian cat Pusheen, Persian cross that little guy is 8 months?? he seems tiny. these fuggers are 11 months old. I thought you were supposed to feed them all they want for the first year, and cut back after that. Maybe it's because they're a different breed?
