I have 7. 1 has FIV and is afraid of the outdoors after getting beaten up by real alley cats and had an abscess that went to his skull on his head after his second walk about. Manuka honey to keep it healthy, time, and good fortune has him doing ok. 3 of them are kids of a 4th who we brought in before she gave birth and couldn’t place them. All girls and each has a distinct personality. Of course the mom has bonded to me and me alone. 1 was like a week old when we got him and had to bottle feed him. No one wanted him when we could try to rehome him, now he’s older, obese, and lazy as gently caress. So we keep him. 1 was a stray kitten that my sister brought home one day and never loving left. She’s a year old now and totally self absorbed. This was when I accepted that we where a crazy cat family and just let it be. On the plus side there’s 5 adults and a large house for them with plenty of room for them to hide in and get alone time or be a colony together with as the mood strikes. They get attention when they want it, food when they need it, and various toys and perches and boxes to keep themselves busy. And someone is always home and awake for them. On the down side I loving hate emptying the loving kitty litter multiple times a week. We’re limited as to where we can practically keep the litters so opt for more frequent changes. Also the vet is able to afford a boat and named it after my cats so there’s that too. Wouldn’t change my situation for anything in the world. I love my cats.

We ended up with 2 more pets when we were talking at a social function about our Vet bill (our rescue had Lyme- we had no clue.  ) and a foaf gave us two Sugar Gliders and everything with them.Now- 2 adults, 2 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats, two birds, three fish, a bunny, and two Sugar gliders. We are still getting goats and chickens. I wanted some alpaca, but my wife said she will not have an alpaca named Corndog, so it's none, because that is a great name.

Yeah we got a second one after my wife and I moved in together to keep her cat company. Two cats doing zoomies and ninja kickflips is far more fun than one as well.

MrUnderbridge posted:Wife wants an alpaca (or several) but since we live in town, no dice. But holy gently caress, that will have to be the best name ever. Cluckface is loving great. I also pitched an Emu named cheeseburger, and a possum named Frank. I forgot the 'other' pet. The same Chipmunk (I think its the same) has been on my house long enough that I named him Charlie. We don't see him much, and can't find evidence of his stash or home, so I think he keeps coming in the dog door to steal food, and gets stuck for a bit. We had a sick bat for four days that I named Leroy. I hate people, but animals loving rule. Even if I get my hands eaten by a chimp. Especially if I get my hands eaten by a chimp.

My favorite part of my house is all the surrounding creatures. About a month ago, we woke up and saw about 10 Turkey hens just strutting through our yard. We've a herd of deer sleep in our backyard. Chipmunks, squirrels, bats, oppossums, bunnies. It's great. And a small farm up the road has alpaca, chickens, turkey, goats, sheep, and emu. In addition they have the biggest, floofiest white dog ever, along with a chubby corgi, and a medium black ball of floof. And tonight, my daughter asked for a duck.

I have a new idiot story for you gents that I'd like to share. The new private in my squad just got his nickname this weekend. A little background, I'm currently with a National Guard company because about 11 years ago I felt like poo poo and wanted to die well, there's the part where I'm an idiot. Now for the new guy who I will refer to as S.H., we're on Ft.Bliss range 62, team live fire range, same range where an annual training or two ago a lot of our guys found out what rattlesnake tastes like, because they killed and ate two, then made a handle for the guide on out of their skin. So we have some history on this range. Anyway I'd just run an iteration and was feeling kinda crap, best friends sister died last weekend, service is next weekend and I'm kind of moping around the bleachers, when I see a gaggle of privates raptly paying attention to one with a wet PC. This instantly set off alarms in my head because when a group of Dude #1 "Why is your PC wet and kinda blue" S.H. "I was in the port-a-shitter taking a piss when I felt I'd dropped something. My PC fell into the shitter." Dude #2 "And?" S.H "I fished it out." Dude #1 "Is that it?" S.H. "It's ok, I rinsed it off" So I'm standing there after hearing this all  looking around the bleachers for an adult and I see the next best thing, a Doc "Who is it? And yes, they can get pinkeye and other poo poo from the bacteria""S.H. over there." Doc then grabs S.H. and goes and finds the senior NCOs who half compassionately and half disgustedly find him a replacement PC, have him bury the poop hat and christen the private with the new name ShitHat. AKA PoopHat, AKA ShitHead. When not running lanes the rest of the four days we were there involved a lot of hypotheticals. "Would you rather eat that bug, or wear a shithat?" "uhh, eat the bug and ask for seconds?"

Can I test a soldier for autism. Not a joke.quote:I have a soldier who I really care about, I truly believe his recruiter failed him by letting him in the military. He cannot read or write at an adult level or even at the challenged infantry level. On a daily basis I try to teach him CoC just up to the company level, he can’t retain any of it. He told me our CO is SSG blank. I have to dress him almost every day. He wore two left boots for the first 3 days of JRTC until his feet bled. His main goal in life right now is to be able to do the splits. He pissed himself when another soldier pointed a rubber ducky at him during combatives. e: More from the comments quote:Yo, he is fast as gently caress though. The man is 5’4 135lb pure dad bod and runs sub 12 just because I don’t think he knows how to be tired. quote:I was showing him how to squat and he asked if this will help him do the splits. I was like “what the gently caress”. He then tells me it’s the top point in his dream book. He no poo poo has a composition notebook with single sentences written in size 36 scribble, all his aspirations. This includes becoming a major in the army. quote:One of his huge hobbies is teaching people to sing through some sort of video chat on his laptop. I walked in on him singing to a naked 50 year old Asian man last week.

Part of me really wants to meet this delightful dude. We had a special dreamer too. I'm pretty loopy and poorly socialized, but this kid managed to set himself apart in a signal battalion. Dude would stop during almost anything to take in a bug or desert wildlife. He would just instantly drop what he was doing to play with some ants. He would talk about how he doesn't like being mean and that he was sad the army only wanted mean people. Kids reason for ETS was his hair was too short to get sunlight. We also have a dude who literally brings lightsabers to drill. But other nerds in the COC loving want to see them too because they're the ridiculously expensive battle ones.

Oh I loved hanging out with the guy because I do the same kind of poo poo. Me and him would spend hours just staring at stars and poo poo in the middle of the central Nevada desert; his whole thing about being a peacenik really helps with my anxiety. Problem was this dude was just so ill adjusted for the Army life that he couldn't maintain his duties or his positions. He would at all times be completely distracted by anything else.

Apparently I was the rear end in a top hat for telling my coworkers to stop throwing a worm at each other while waiting for formation to start, and dressing down the guy who decided to stomp on it afterwards.
