I don't know really anything about cameleons....I've seen a few, awesome to see them change within a couple minutes isn't it? I want a snake, but I have issues with caging large reptiles and it would fuk up the food chain here. My cats want to eat the lizzards, the snake would want to eat the cats...and so on. I can't even feed birds around here....my cats are hunters.
I agree! Our 6th one.
I thought the first five were smart and easy to train. This is the first pup since retirement, where she is mostly with me 24/7 and the difference is phenominal.

She's a really pretty one...awesome companion dog. Do you have a lot of area for her to run? I'm not really ina great place for a dog...too many kitties and not enough grass...we do live by a park, but I don't want a dog until I can have a bigger yard with a fence.
Thank you and I agree!
Good idea considering the available space and time. Too many dogs are picked because of their looks, with little regard for what they were actually bred for.
A German Shepherd would willing share a cardboard box with you but they were bred to manage large herds of animals and need both a lot of exercise and a purpose in life to keep them mentally stimulated.
Lola has a dog door and a fenced back yard, but we also live next to a park and meet with other dogs there for an early morning exercise, plus I take her to a friends fenced back yard late morning to exercise their Lhasapoo and Peekapoo (or whatever those delightful mixes are called).
You can wear out an arm throwing a ball for them without coming close to the aerobic exercise they get from exercising with other dogs.
I also walk her off leash in our neighborhood, despite our leash laws.
After wearing out two wonderful shepherds since we moved into the hood 20 plus years ago, our neighbors tell us that they wished their children behaved as well as our dogs and I tell them, “We wish ours did too.” Lola has been mostly off leash and under voice control since she was 6 months old.
Herding dogs in general do require a lot of exercise to burn off energy, but perhaps even more importantly, they need mental stimulation, because they have been bred to be just too, too smart. Like a human being, in sensory deprivation they become neurotic and if you don’t keep them busy, they will find a way to keep themselves busy.
On the other hand, once you have been spoiled by one, it is hard to give up some of their more endearing qualities.
Speaking of pretty animals, check out the attached photo of a delightful German Shepherd, Malamute, Wolf mix named Conga, that was rescued by a friend in Texas.

Here's a picture of Chuck...the baby field mouse, haha...yeah, I named him. I think he's a him...it looks like it, uh...because he's so young, I actually have to stimulate him to go to the bathroom because he can't himself yet....looks like a boy. Taking care of a mouse is a committing task...you have to be home every 4 hours. My crazy maine coon killed a sibling of chucks as well as his mom...I'm pretty sure. We got a little baby left on the sidewalk today....I can't find the nest and I don't know if any more of the little ones survived. Think they were nested in my neighbors garage and crept out after my asshole :kitty: killed their mother. Jeezus...
