Really cool stuff. I've only had one friend who kept a Tarantula. Never got the nerve to handle it.
It true about kids and pets though, I got my first bulldog ( a rescue) from my Dad when I was 4-5 years old and since then they're all I want! I had a Champ breeder (who never met a leg he didn't like) when I meet my Wife. We got married and Snortin' Norton got sent to live my Dad. I finally convinced her to get a bulldog when our boys got about 5 years old. Now she trolls You Tube looking at Bulldog Videos. Haha!

I love dogs. Wish I wasn't allergic. I can play with them outside all day long. But get me in a confined area where there's a dog or cat and I'm in agony in ten minutes or less.
I had a Shephard-Husky mix (again bought for the kids) that I kept in a heated coop/doghouse during the first marriage. She was great with the kids, and a good watch dog. I don't have the room in the developement we live in now for a dog like I did then. That house was on 22 acres and she'd run it all every chance she got.

Very unique Tarantulas - 8 to 10 ozs. that is a lot of spider!

When I used to live in San Francisco, I used to see a lot of snake fanciers out at various street fairs - admired them, but at a distance.

Scorpions - those just creep me out.

I used to find them around the house at friends that live in the mountains (they are seeking water). The Academy of Sciences in SF had live scorpions on display...

My dog actually sleeps with his head on a pillow and covered with a blanket. I had to pull the blanket off of him to take his picture.

He is actually yawning right here.

And all dogs have to stretch when they first get up.

That's one big dog, Andy! Where do you and the wife sleep? Haha!

I like that breed. Canary Dog, correct? Australian police dogs.
Fearless yet loyal to their master and family.
A friend who owns a gun shop (sold me my pistols) has a female. She had to have surgery before her first birthday - hip displascia. They get big so fast. She loves McDonalds french fries. Give her an order and you have a friend for life.

Believe it or not, this is a mix between a pit bull and a dalmation. He does sleep in the bed with us somehow. I used to have a 160# bullmastiff but he was struck by a car not too long ago at my uncles house. He dies instantly, but the cars front end was destroyed. They asked me to pay for it and I told them if they didnt leave, there would be more damage done to the car.

Sorry to hear about the Mastiff. They're great dogs too.
I like mixed breeds. You usually get the best of both worlds with a much better temperament when you get a "mutt" or unreckognized breed.

I think dogs are the best pets. They can do just about anything any other pet can do.
I'd be proud to have any of the dogs pictured on this thread.
