Because they Dash around a lot? I like border collies, but I have seen some sad understimulated ones, that live up to the nickname "borderline collie"... They sure seem to need a lot of activity.

I loooove the kitten picture! Even cute as a button you can see she's really a tiger inside, just a very very small one.

Scaldedcat,
Wow, you have a menagerie!
I've got 2.5 dogs, 6 budgies, and 1 Meyer's parrot.
guess I need several cats to keep up with you (not going for the snake, though, nothing I have to clean up after like that).

Um, TsPoet - how do you have half a dog? Joint custody? Do you get the cute part?

6 budgies! How do you stand the noise?

I have a 9 week old puppy, she's with her breeder at IG nationals right now. When they get back, she'll finally come live with me and be my pet. But, we are co-owning. I want a fun agility dog, the breeder wants to show her - so by co-owning it'll be possible to have a champion in different fields (or she'll bomb out of all of it and just be a pet, LOL).

I have a "bird room". It was supposed to be a bedroom, I had french doors built into the wall with the livingroom. When they get too loud, I close the doors. I also love that chatter, it's a happy noise. I also watch TV with closed captioning, I'm just so used to the noise and reading my TV it works fine. My SO hates it, so the doors get closed more.
They aren't so much pets, though. I've always had very tame pet budgies flying around, but these are all rescues from people who got them, let them sit in a cage ignored for a few years, then got tired of changing the paper. So, my dad built a beautiful flight cage (5x5x6ft tall), and they have each other, but they aren't tame. I keep trying to scale back, but everytime one goes to the bridge, seems like karma knows it and I get a phonecall from someone wanting to rehome one.
