My Pets Past & Present

I've had many pets in my life. Here are some of the pets I've had in the past and some I still have.We currently have 5 cats and one Parson's Jack Russell dog.

Past Pets:

Armand - Manny (nickname for Armand) was a 4ft. long Ball Python. I had him for about a year. We moved in with some asshole who said the house we were living in was his and come to find out it was not. So the cops had come there when we were away and my best guess is that they took Armand. At the time I was too upset to think clearly so I did not go and claim him. Its just as well anyways because we ended up being homeless and I could not have cared for him as I should have. He was a very sweet loving snake.

Spot - Spot was 12 when she passed away from abdominal tumors. She was my baby, may familiar. Spot alerted me when my sister/roommate Connie was having a stroke and could not talk.

Armand - Again here's Manny. He was such a good, docile snake that he once stopped in mid-strike because I had taken my hand and flicked the mouse back into the box for him. After that we did not feed him live mice.

Current Pets:

Left to Right Starting In The Center - Varuna (10), Pandora (8), Anaith (8), Ra (12), & Isabella (9). We currently have all 5 of those. Right now Isabella is really sick though and we fear we might lose her. 

Ra - Ra was in a littler from my baby girl Spot. She weighed 7 pounds. Ra weighs about 25 pounds now.

Kittie Pinwheel - Varuna & Anaith. Anaith is the small black and white kittie.

Anaith & Varuna - Varu is telling Anaith that he does not want to groom her anymore right now. LOL

Unhappy Ra - Why was Ra unhappy you ask? Because we put him in a baby pajama top so that he would not lick at a wound he had on his leg after getting out of his cast from breaking his paw.

Unhappy Ra 2: The Sequel - LOL Just better light on this one, and yes, the cat was still unhappy. He just looked at us like, "Seriously? You are putting me in this thing?!?!"

Mauw Mauw - Our little energetic Jack Russell.

Varuna, Ra, & Isabella - Large kittie pinwheel.

Anaith - We have a couple of nick names for her. She is so cute that her ears wiggle when she meows. We call her Nick Knack because she will sit still on a shelf and look like a small porcelain cat. Then she moves and it freaks people out if they do not know its her. We also call her Dot because she's the cutest. Just like Dot from Animaniacs.

Ra in a Box - You can usually find Ra in the weirdest places including sinks & boxes. He's the largest cat in the house weighing in at around 25-30 pounds and he is the one cat who find the tiniest places to perch.

Cutie Pie Mauw Mauw

We have a wonderful Parson's Jack Russell named Mauw Mauw. She is such a delight and a cutie pie. She's a rescue, we got her when she was 8 months old from a breeder.

Mauw Mauw's Story:

Mauw Mauw was born into a litter from a reputable breeder in the Buffalo, NY area. The breeder sold her to someone who took her home. Not too long after they took her home they brought her back to the breeder stating that she was not a "real" Jack Russell and demanded their money back. The breeder gave them the money back and took her back.

She is, in fact, what they call a Parson's Jack Russell. Parson's Jack Russell's can have slightly different coloring and they stand taller than the typical Jack Russell. Mauw Mauw is a solid white color, but she does have the Jack Russell spots on her ears, underbelly and in her mouth. And, of course, she is energetic like any Jack Russell.

After the breeder took her back she was not able to sell her again because she was too old and the breeder was not able to acquire the AKC registration after the dog had come back. So, technically Mauw should be AKC registered but its just not possible to do that anymore.

The breeder had to find a home for Mauw, but in the meantime she could not keep her living with her at her apartment. She was only allowed 2 dogs and she had 2 dogs already. She had Mauw's mom and dad so she decided to place Mauw with her sister, her husband and kids.

Some time after she placed Mauw with her sister and her husband she went over to visit. When she visited she was really upset of how they were treating Mauw Mauw. They were abusing her very badly. Apparently is was so extreme that the breeder did not even want to talk about it. When we met her and asked her about it she almost started crying, so we dropped it and figured we did not want to know what she had walked in on. There is no telling what they were doing to our poor baby.

The breeder immediately took Mauw and told her sister she'd never give her another dog again. So she was able to get her landlord to agree to her keeping Mauw temporarily while she found a good home for her.

I had put an ad in Craigslist asking for a puppy. My sister had a stroke in August 2006 and we wanted a puppy that could help her and us. We needed a dog that could let me know if something was wrong with my sister and one that would be close to both of us. The breeder answered my ad and from there we acquired Mauw Mauw. She has been a complete blessing in our lives, we love her dearly.

Here are some pics that I have of her:
