He is looking the business Chris has he settled in with the rest of your pack?

Dan - What do you have that is poisonous in the tank?

Chris and Jay you both have some kik ass dog's.

Jay i especially like the pic at the beach.Man i luv Spring.

Pretty much every peice of Coral in the tank can sting a person ,some more than other's.

My hard Coral's and Anenemes are pretty poisiness. They really hurt bad when you get stung by them,it feel's like fire,and you swell up.that's why i use glove's handiling them.

Frogspawn,elegance,and Hammer Coral have sweeper's.There little tenacles that actually come out the sides of these coral's when one of those sucker's get's ya goodnight.it usually takes three day's for a sting from them to get away.Dan

jay looks like he's up for another haircut ,

Since the weather is turning nice, we've been spending a lot of time on the deck. Which means it's time for some new pictures!

Here's the new pup Tucker sitting on the bench on our deck.



Here's another where he's plotting his escape.



Finally, here's all three actually sitting together in one place for a change. Riley looked away at the last minute and I couldn't get them to sit still again to save my life!

I would say Lab's are my favorite type dog.I had one as a kid.

Great pup Chris,Your dog's are awesome.

Danny.

Hi guys. I just wanted to start a fun thread. Marco and I got into a discussion about our cats last night so I figured I'd post some pics to get started.

Here we have "Floyd". He's a Siamese-Manx mix. He has no tail and one blue and one yellow eye. He loves to wrestle and have us chase him down the hall.


This is "Rudy". He's a stray we took in a few years ago. He discovered really fast he liked having a bed to sleep in. He's a town icon here where I live. He likes to follow me to work, and then hangs out with the girls in the receiving room. He even sat in on a staff meeting one day.


Here with Floyd we have "Psycho". She earned her name when she was a kitten. She's almost 13 and is the house boss.


This little fella is "Buzz Buzz" we just call him "Buzz" or "Little destroyer of all that we own" my wife Sari calls him "The One Kitty Wrecking Machine". In this pic I caught him in mid-yawn. It looks like he's ahving a big laugh.

I am not a huge fan of cats but my old dog used to love cats


EDIT: past thread: http://www.imperialgunneryforum.com/t866-official-tig-pet-thread

I just got back from the countryside- I really miss having a dog

Good idea to make an off topic thread for our pets, Paul!

Admin: How about combining it with the already existing thread and put it in the main section (labbelled "OT") to give it some more exposure for a while?

Marco

EDIT: Thanks Chris!!!

Cool thread resurrection.

Just noticed the blue ring octopus posts. I could nip down the beach & find you one of those in 10 minutes!

I enjoyed watching all your pets guys.

Jimmy's Rancor cat is classic.

First there is Pluk, our 12 year old female cat. We got her last year October, as the little son of the family she was living with became allergic to her. She found a good home with us. She has quite some temper for such a small cat, something I like about her very much. Once I saw her fighting against THE big agressive alpha male cat which was entering our garden a bit too often according to Pluk. Afterwards he was covered with scratches, she had nothing, though he was two times her size!! Since that moment alpha cat makes a detour when he sees her. With other cats she can get along pretty well. To us she is a very sweet, always communicating with us. Every day when I come back from work she rushes up the stairs where I have to play with her in the study room. I call that her crazy 10 minutes.










Then there is Robbie, a ten year old male cat. Actually he is the cat from the neighbors, but he likes to visit us very frequently, We don't mind as we like cats. Robbie is probably one of the few cats who doesn't mind too much about water. Sometimes he just likes to sit in the garden while it is raining very hard, till he is getting soaked. His favourite hobby: drinking from the water tap while standing in the sink.








Wookiee was a huge big red male cat. We took care for him last year, while his owner was abroad in New Zealand during a one year period. He was a big friendly giant, almost a lion . When He had this typical pose with his forlegs crosses over, like an Egyptian sphynx. He was living with us for one year. Thereafter his owner came back to pick him up. A difficult goodbye. Shortly afterwards he left us. He was an old cat, 16 years. I am happy that we could give him a very joyful last year. We still miss him.





BTW: We like dogs as well, but during the day there is nobody to take care of them, cats are rather self supporting. Sometimes we take care of Max, when friends of us are not at home. On the pic he makes very clear to us he wants to go out.

Here is Troy Skywalker he is a half Lab half pit

Joe, that's a rad Pit! It looks like my friends Pit that they had to put down last week.

Gorgeous!

This is Bisco, my Pembroke Welsh Corgi. He's a great dog and buddy.

Great to look at all your pets here. I've owned mostly cats and one dog in the past, but none at the moment. Miss having pets though, so one day again maybe...

A quick tally of all the TIG pets here roughly equates to:
Dogs = 19
Cats = 13
Fish = 7 approx - correct me if I'm wrong Dan.
Sex slaves = 1

Dogs seem to be the most popular pet so far (Jay, isn't Dexter a fully signed up member of TIG as I recall?)

Dallas,
Bisco looks a cool dude. Did you realise you have a toy related dog there? Not SW but cool toys all the same. Corgi Toys were established in the 1950s in Swansea, Wales, UK... and they adopted the Welsh Corgi dog into their logo which is still used today. That makes Bisco double cool

Paul - Yeah, we have some Corgi Brand toys here in the states also. I've got a few things around the house with the logo on it. They make miniature animal models also but oddly enough no Corgi.

Hey fellas. Just sitting here watching the rain beat down from the coming hurricane. Nothing else to do today. So figured I'd post this article from our local paper. This was printd a little over a month ago. My cat Rudy walks to work with me every day and waits till it's time to go home for lunch and again after lunch he follows me back and waits till 5 when it's time to come home. He was a stray we took in about 4 1/2 years ago or so. The local paper heard about it and they thought it would make a neat story. It's a small town and not alot of news.

I love that article Paul

That's totally rad Paul!
