Everyone who has been on the forums for awhile knows of Marmalade, who passed away 2 years ago. Anyone who has been on Google Hangouts with all of us always heard how talkative she could be. Also, when my DM recorded podcasts for our Shattered Star campaign, Marmalade voiced the Sphinx at opportune times. 16 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Jack Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 I haven't had "pets" since I was a teenager, however, over the years I have cohabitated with a fair number of house spiders, although I'm not certain how many of them were entirely cognizant of that fact. There have definitely been a few that were clearly aware of me as a fellow creature and seemed to be actively attempting to share our mutual space in a peaceful fashion. Probably because I'm in the habit of stunning bugs that get inside instead of killing them, and leaving them for the spiders. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really great to see @TaleSpinner's kid win something. You made my wife's and my whole day when we read this. Seriously, I'm still giggling about it!

Aww, thanks. Honestly, you are at the top of my list too. You are one of the few long timers whom I have yet to meet, you, @Glitterwolf, and @Kuroneko (I'm sure there is someone I am missing; but it is highly possible that I just think I have met you if I haven't; ReaperCon gets weirdly muddled in my head, especially with forum names vs real names). 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: NINJAED! I do go through a heck of a lot of peanut butter, though. Seriously, we were at work on Friday and my boss claimed he saw house hippos for sale at the pet store. Then we asked him if the pet store had any dogs that bark bees in stock. 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has to be the ongoing saga of @Glitterwolf and Brutus. Close second might be that crow that adopted @PaganMegan and @TheAuldGrump . 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really remember many of them with any details.

We are currently regulated by a triumvirate of feline overlords. One even has a draconic sidekick! My favourite pet story from the forum was @Thoramels description of how he rearranged his house so that his elderly dog could spend quality time with his family. She passed away recently, but her twilight times were helped greatly by having an awesome owner who went to a great deal of trouble to make her happy. 11 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That frosting story was another good one. You'd think frosting would be bad (?) for cats…. And maybe they'd realise this. I guess not.

Pets don't realise such things, a dog will happily chow down a piece of chocolate, depending on the amount and the type of dog this could kill it. Also: please be careful with sugarfree stuff where the sugar is substituted by Xylitol. It will kill your dog!

And maybe they'd realise this. I guess not. Silly things. It IS bad for them- kitteh tummies were not designed to handle sugar at all. Unfortunately Lokis understanding of cause and effect does not include a random food item that he ate 6 hours ago. Mostly because he's eaten a lot of random things since then, how on earth could he pinpoint the troublesome one? I've read multiple sources saying that cats can't taste sweet things If that's true, then at least a third of my lifetime feline overlords have been atypical because they were complete sugar fiends! 1 hour ago, Glitterwolf said: Pets don't realise such things, a dog will happily chow down a piece of chocolate, depending on the amount and the type of dog this could kill it.
