I do love soft fur.
My dog Monty has wiry fur so when I feel other animals they feel extra soft.
Cats Or Torts?

This is Happy, she would sell you down the river for the sheer joy of watching you suffer.
See! Great personalities!
Is Happy a little misnamed?
Happy was named by a 3 year old. She is a junk yard cat through and through. She was abandoned at 4 weeks and her surrogate mama was a big black pitbull at an auto shop.

Definitely. I did think of a cat/kitten before I bought OLI. But the fact that I do not want noise made me go for a tort. I'd also though of a bird.
Yep dogs are certainly "Number 1" as pets. And so loyal, aren't they?Well let's see, they both love to eat my plants lol but that's what tortoises eat anyway. My cat loves to chew up my bamboo and orchids and ruin any other plant I bring in the house -_- so how about dogs? Best pet by far!
Mind you I am scared of them, believe it or not.
Very sorry to hear that. Hope he recovers soon.
I'd love to see a pic of him.I do love soft fur.

So cute.
Do they really?
Well, it depends on the species of course, but even my less verbal parrots 'talk' to me - they use less words, or squawk, but it's still event dependent.
The one that talks, she uses some words appropriately.
And she sings...too cute...
Goodness. That is interesting. I'd love to hear one of them "talk/sing."Well, it depends on the species of course, but even my less verbal parrots 'talk' to me - they use less words, or squawk, but it's still event dependent.

How long have you had them? Would you please post pics of them?
The Pionus is 11. We've had him since he was a baby. The Amazon is approximately 21. We've had her about 10 years, she was a rehome. The African Grey is also 11, we've had her since she was 3...also a rehome. She's a plucker unfortunately, and more than a little neurotic. I have also inherited my daughter's 10 year old budgie and my son's 9 year old cockatiel.
I have never recorded them talking or vocalizing. The African Grey won't talk if anyone is actually looking at her...but she goes whole-hog when no one is in the room or our backs are turned...lol.
The Pionus has a limited vocabulary...but he uses it a lot. The Amazon can say a few words, but prefers not to. She likes to screech. Top volume is pretty impressive.
A recent picture I just posted of two of them is in Goosefoot's thread (two from the bottom):

Very loyalYep dogs are certainly "Number 1" as pets. And so loyal, aren't they?
And one of the best things about them is that they can go almost everywhere with you. Hiking, road trips, parks, some restaurants, etc. Mine are super sweet, they would make you love dogs Here are my 3 being couch potatoes:
