Post your Pet Picture

I love your rooster Indiana Gardener 👍 ! I used to have a rooster like that when i was a kid, i used to keep a lot of small bantam chickens in the past, i really miss the chickens sometimes though.
 
Thanks! He was young in that pic. Just 5 months and 3 Lbs 2 oz. He's grown a little now. His dad is near 4 Lbs.


His cousins at 4.5 months:

They will be 6 months the last of this month. Need to get some recent pics.


Are you in an area now that you aren't able to keep fowl?
 
His cousins are very lovely looking too!

I do have a small garden at the back of my house but it is a very small garden and i know if i kept chickens they would destroy the lawn in the garden which i know my fiance would not be very happy about "sigh".
So for now i just have to deal with not being able to keep chickens- if i could find the space to keep them though, then i would have some chickens for sure, they are really nice animals and make great pets 👍 .
 
Here are Frodo (chihuahua) and Jeanette (maine coon). They like to nap together.

Cute na Goldie:-)

A few terrible shots of Rieko with Jiji taken a few days ago.

She is coming to Japan.. Very time consuming opion and expensive..

One thing I never wanted was to have a microchip injected inside her.

Unfortunately, whislt an option in Australia, it is the only option and compulsory in Japan so she will get one..




 
I hate those microchips. We removed many that were covered in thick scar tissue that became tumors. They can move from there original location as well. The microchip companies came up with a fix, the basically barbed the chips so they can't move, but that causes irritation which causes the scar tissue which then causes the tumor. I know it is a requirement to get your pet in Japan. I am happy that you are taking her, many people would just leave them....

You have me worried now about the chip now but the Japanese option is absent, as usual!

When she was a kitten we had her desexed, and the vet pushed for the chip, I said no thank you.

She was tatooed inside the ear to show she had been desexed which I also thought was cruel, but I guess under anathestic, she didn't feel it..

Bringing her to Japan is going to be the number one inconvenience. She will go into a good cattery for a good few weeks in Cairns which will be difficult for us, and then she will fly to Narita.. That's a long way from Kyoto so it shall have to be a Sinkansen ride to Tokyo to pick her up and bring her back to Kyoto..

We don't have direct flights from Cairns to Osaka with an airline who carries animals.. Only QANTAS carries them from Cairns and they only fly to Narita from here..

We will then smuggle her into a monthly apartment which we need to have for a base until we find a house, get a car, etc.

Fun times ahead.. Fourth time lucky!

We thought about our options, and honestly, she really is aprt of us and giving her away would have broken our hearts.. The never knowing and notseeing her would be with us for life..

The whole process of bringing her with us is going to cost $2000, a lot of rice in anyones language, but she is so worth it:09:

When you take a pet to the countries such as the U.K., France, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, the New Zealand, Japan, a duty on animal quarantine inspection with microchip is imposed. Also in Hawaii.

So you are justyfying Japanese laws because Hawaii, Hong Kong, etc. has the same?

It is definitely not compulsory in Australia to have your animal microchipped, nor should it be.

Absolutely right!


If you think having one or two individual pets chipped is bad, you should hear what the US wants to do... chip every single animal counted as livestock. No matter if it's a farm with thousands or a backyard hobby person who has a few fowl, or even just one pet rabbit or a single horse.


Can you imagine what the cost of chipping each animal combined with the hassle of monitoring the animals will do to food prices?


If passed, it will bring US agriculture and the livestock exhibition hobby to its knees.


Anyone in the US who cares about their food prices, or especially if they farm or just have pets, should voice their opposition of "NAIS" (National Animal Identification System) to their state representatives.


"It is difficult to imagine any acceptable basis for the (USDA) to subject the owner of a chicken to more intrusive surveillance than the owner of a gun." - Mary Zanoni (a NY attorney)

Australia obliges it, but does not force it???
I don't have any idea about it. I just added an information. :sick:

Some countries don't accept my dog kind.

Correct.

Yes, maybe because it is considered a dangerous breed, but Bull Terriers are definitely fine in Australia.

They are a strong dog, so idiots train them to be dangerous. These are the people that should be banned.

Just make sure your dog has plenty of room to run about not hindered in anyway by a lead full time.

Well, we can have such dogs, to my knowledge, but since a few years they have to have a "Maulkorb" (whats that in english, please? The safety something over their mouth. . .) and also have to be on leads outside.
This law came because of several severe attacks on people (also children).
Its not only for this kind of dog, but I don't know the others at present.
I think its for all kinds of dogs, that are also used for fightings.
They are supposed to be in general unpredictable after all that.

As far as I know, at least.
 
The German word "Maulkorb" means "muzzle" (noun) in English. It refers to a muzzle for a dog or other animal. A "Maul" is the mouth of an animal, and "Korb" means basket, so a "Maulkorb" is a basket you put over the mouth of an animal, or in more idiomatic English, a muzzle. To refer to a person's mouth as his or her "Maul" is extremely insulting.

Correct, Thanks a lot!

Thanx!

Yes, indeed! And whoever will stop me from speaking for them, under whichever twisted (forum) rule. . .

Let them bark, I can wait and make it be watched ;-)

I love animals so much. I'm so sad :( when I have to be without my babies.

Aww!! Everyone's furry friends are so very cute. Is Gracie bird watching, bug watching? :) She's keenly watching something that's for sure.
