I am curious...anyone else sharing their homes with an animal pal?

We have Jersey, 2, a mixed breed dog. She's about 50 lbs and SO sweet.

Dixie, 2, a grey and white cat with 7 toes on her front feet.

Dakota, 2 months, black kitty with white markings

Anyone else?

Oh Yeah! A dwarf hamster (Freya), a dwarf rabbit (Buster), a Collie (Tinker) and two very geriatric cates - one tabby and one Siamese (Tia and Mogwai).

Besides "curious," why do you ask? Any particular reason? Other than dogs (which you walk, hence exercise) how do you see it relating to weight loss? Just curious, too.

Just in case you missed it, she put OT in the subject line. That means "off topic". Sometimes we like to talk about things other than weight loss. It helps us to get to know each other better.

Aside from being curious, I don't have to have a reason to ask. That's why the post says OT, so anyone who doesn't want to read about anything else doesn't bother checking in here, as it is going to be an off topic thread.

I love animals, I know several of the people here have mentioned pets, and I am interested in people so I wanted to know.

And if you have the right cat, they're PLENTY of exercise in their own right.

My family includes two cats and one mouse! Snickers is our male tabby cat who weighs 22 lbs. and Oreo is his 'slightly' smaller sister. Rolo is our little gray/brown mouse whose antics are just like a t.v. for the cats! My dh complains that Snickers is "the other man" in my life because that cat follows me everywhere....lol If you notice the names of our pets, you will see the chocolate theme. :)

Three fish (an albino cory, two orange mollies) and one cat (but don't tell him that; he thinks he's human!)

You don't say.

As for why she was asking, she DID preface it with the OT.

Beacause it is off-topic. Nothing to do with weight loss.

Just thought I'd clear that up for you.

Have a great day !

Pugs are 'da BOMB. I've always wanted one. Mastiff attitude in a cat body.

And that TAIL!
