These threads are posted randomly around the forum, so I thought we'd have one dedicated just for our little ones.
Whether they're soft and fluffy, feathered and living in trees or in the water, let's see who your buds are.
If you come across any cool pics or animal stories post them. Animals are some of the best people I know.
I took the name Rolex when I joined this forum since Road Runner, Nitroholic and a few others weren't available. My "Watch" dog Rolex was laying at my feet and his name was accepted. I got him used and badly abused at 2 years old and we spent 14 great years together. He wasn't just a dog or a pet, he was my partner.
Both like to sit my my work laptops exhaust vent... Whenever I get up from my PC to get coffee or whatever, I usually come back to find one of them sitting there.
This is my current "Watch" dog, Seiko. She was about 5 when I got her and totally un-socialized because she lived under a bed, NEVER got outside, never played with toys and never met any other people or dogs. What a change she's been through in the few years I've had her. She loves everybody. This pic is not a lucky shot. When I pick up the camera she'll do anything I tell her to do.
She's a real star.
Well...they're not as exciting as all yours...but...
They're getting a bigger tank soon.
The grey one is about 5 years old now, so his fins are looking a bit tired. But they've always been a bit like that...

Puddy passed away in December I think... seems so long ago already. He was my wife's buddy.
Miss Bitsie (was my buddy):
To try and avoid Miss Bitsie from getting too independent, we got her a sister... wow, what a mistake that was! Had no clue that girl cats that aren't siblings are more likely to hate each other... oh well. Now Miss Bitsie hates me most of the time and sits on my wife's lap (whom she hated before Piper) and Piper is either sleeping, annoying Miss Bitsie or is in my business.
Piper shortly after we got her at the end of January:
A bit larger a month ago:
Waiting for me to finish working:
Helping me fix the micro-t a couple days ago:
Goofy creatures become a part of your life it seems.
This is my 6 year old, giant gourami, Snowflake. Got "him" when he was only about 3" long. Now, he's just over 2ft in length. I put a 12oz soda can for size reference.
There's also a +14" bullhead catfish residing with Snowflake. You can see the tail end just under Snowflake.
