Hi, I'm Kit. I'm from Tokyo Japan, but my Japanese isn't that good yet because I recently moved their from Texas. I am 20 years old. My favorite animals are hamsters, cats, and bats.

I have six cats and one rabbit. I also have a few fish.

Hello people! I'm a 20 year old female from Georgia. I work as a dog trainer at a Petsmart. I personally own 4 dogs, 3 cats, and a bird. I love all animals though. I love to play with the snakes and bearded dragons at work. Once I get out of college I'm going to start building a house on the 10 acres of land I inherited and eventually get a horse, a snake, a guinea pig, and some fish. Maybe some other ones too. You never know...

If there are any other dog trainers in the guild I'd love to talk to you guys and compare notes.

Also if anyone has a dog training question please let me know.

Now on to a little bit about my animals:

Maggie
Age: 5yrs
Breed: Boxer
Interesting Facts: She only has one eye. She bit through two chain links in my fence and then tried to stick her 63lb self through the tiny hole...Needless to say she got pretty scraped up. Her eye got poked and she ended up losing the vision in the eye, but thats just where the problems started. The pressure behind her eye continued to build even with the hundreds of dollars of medication we were giving her. So the vet said the only thing we could do was remove the eye....So I call her "One-eyed Hopper"

Max
Age: Approx. 7yrs
Breed: Border Collie
Interesting Facts: We found Max in an apartment complex parking lot. It took us two months to get him to fully trust us enough to take him home. When we first found him, his collar was so tight that it was choking him...To this day he is still scared to death of men, but he is the most loving dog to us. If I cry he puts his nose under my arms to make me move them and then licks the tears off.

Dum Dum or Pup
Age: 2yrs
Breed: Pure-bred MUTT
Interesting Facts: I adopted Dum Dum from an adoption agency called Morning Star. I had gone to look at a pit bull but he was just such a cute little fluff ball I ended up taking him home instead. Not even two weeks after we got him home, he earned the name Dum Dum...We had cooked some chicken in tin foil on the grill and threw the trash outside so that we could take it to the road in the morning. When he went outside to go to the bathroom later that night he ended up sneaking away from us and eating almost all of the tinfoil...I stayed up all night on the phone with a 24hour emergency clinic and watched as he pooped out shiny turds for the next few weeks...Also he really likes electrical shocks.

Jack
Age: 1yr
Breed: Pekingnese
Interesting Facts: This little old lady came into my work when Jack was about 8 months old and came up to me. She said that she couldn't take care of him anymore. Her son had gotten him for her as a birthday present and she realized that she couldn't give him everything he needed. So she wanted to know if I knew anyone who would take him...Needless to say, I'm the one who took him. His favorite activity now is to watch t.v. and when other animals come on tv he likes to talk to them...

Pepper
Age: 6yrs
Breed: Grey Tabby Cat
Interesting Facts: Pepper was one of a litter of ten kittens that a stray cat had at my grandmother's house...The problem was that the kittens were starting to disappear. Come to find out that a bob cat was killing them. So my mom and I took her home to rescue her. We had to bottle feed her and keep her with us at all times.

Miss Muppet
Age: 7yrs
Breed: Calico Cat
Interesting Facts: We found Miss Muppet when we were moving my other grandmother out of her house when her husband died. I was walking outside and I heard meowing. So I ran and got my mom. When we found her her back right paw looked like it had been ripped open by a wild animal. She healed up alright. She was very young so we had to bottle feed her as well. Now, she has nerve damage in her foot and a mental problem. When she scratches her head, her tail twitches and she attacks her tail...

Kilala
Age: about 14 weeks old
Breed: Grey Tabby Cat
Interesting Facts: Kilala is another one that I got from work...This lady found three kittens under the porch of her house. She brought them into work and said that her husband said that if she didnt get rid of them that he was going to drown them...So i took her home.

Splint
Age: unknown
Breed: Shaft-tailed Finch
Interesting Facts: Splint is another one that I got from work...I found Splint in his cage hanging upside down from his nest by his toenail. His toenail had gotten caught in the wicker. When I took him out of the cage and took him to the vet they said that they wanted to euthanize him. So I brought him home...His leg has healed up very well...His toe however sticks straight out.  

[Liltweet_gal]

Hello there! So, I'm 14 years old (15 on the 28th of July) and I like animals, obviously. My favorite animals are elephants, Penguins and Hippos. Sadly I can't have any of those as pets. I probably wouldn't be able to take care of them very well anyways. Currently I have a 2 year old tuxedo cat. Her name is Smoochie because it looks like she has black lipstick on. I want a snake, but my parents won't let me have one. My frend also wants a snake, she was going to get one, but got a cat and bunny instead. Oh well.

I also like drawing, reading, and anime/manga 3nodding

My names Donny, I'm 17 and I live in London England. I own a mexican red rump tarantula, a leopard gecko and a corn snake. However also living in my house theres my boyfriends ferret, my little sisters hamsters and my twin sisters rabbits.
I've had reptiles since I was 4 and spent a many of my younger years living and working with my Uncle, who bred tarantulas, in the middle of his reptile rescue center. Over the years we had preety much everything there that you could class as a reptile. On a couple of occasions there were even crocodiles and aligators. But out of all of the animals I've ever looked after...its the tarantulas I like the best.

I live in the U.S.

I have a stray cat named Cole we bought in.
And a pure breed Min. Pin. named Walt Missippi.

I have one question:

Hello, fellow guild members!
My name is Lilly M. K. I am a thirteen-year-old Austro-Canadian girl living in Vienna (capital of Austria, for uneducated minds.)
As stated in my appeal to join this guild, my family is not at all ocnventional, having been in possession of a max. of about 50 exotic animals at one point, like spiders, butterflies, a king python, etc., under the care of my 18-year-old brother and me.
From all the animals in my possession in my life at some point, I treasured my silver guinea-pig Molly most, for her tame habits, the natural ability in toilet-training, and all the tricks I taught her...
I am also fond of my brother's snake as it is such a sleek, beautiful animal, fascinating in its feeding habits, and easy to care for.
However, I have longed for a little terrier dog all my life...A dream that will, like so many young people's never come true...
My favourite wild animals are the arctic fox, the wolverine, the elephant shrew, and the puma.
Besides animals I have lots of hobbies and activities I like to follow in everyday life, namely hiking, tennis, singing, gymnastics, biking, swimming, waveboarding, diving, softball and track and field things as well as professional climbing.
I am a very good student, and, as you may have gathered, love indulging in all sorts of literary activities. I am interested in history and global issues, and find fulfillment in having logical arguments with literary people and covering up people's common fallacies in logic.... smile
To sum up I have some weaknesses in character and I am not always easy-going, but have hardly ever been accused of being boring by others....Take me, a sunny-natured but sharp blonde as I am, swift in showing generous gestures but also in creating arguments amongst my group of friends.
