Whats Your Pet Locationless, Locationless, Locationless

In line with amendments made to requirements for listing and finding a Locationess geocache, this geocache has been reviewed and found not be in line with the listing requirements.

https://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/Locationless_cache
Armchair style Locationless caches where the finder is not required to explore the real world, identify a location and accompany the "Find" with photographic evidence are no longer accepted.
A Locationless cache listing must require the finder to locate an object or perform a task in the real world, collect the co-ordinates and log the find with accompanying photographic evidence.

The geocaching community would like to thank you for listing this Locationess geocache and congratulations to all that found this locationless geocache.

As the geocache no longer meets the requirements we will archive the cache listing.

Think I told this story the other day!

This is Pablo my geodaughters pet budgie.

I thought she was creative naming him after the painter Picasso.

Over the years wē have had dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, tropical fish,
cattle and goats.
When we started heading north for the winter 10 years ago we adopted a 'non replacement' policy to make leaving easier.
But our son bought a husky and then bred her and we ended up with 7 dogs. All but one were eventually sold (I would have kept them all) so the non replacement policy went out the window.
Skye is now 6 and Maxx 4 so I guess we'll have dogs for a few more years yet.
Our son moved out a couple of years ago but the dogs stayed. He usually takes them of a weekend but wē have them during the week. This is because he works long hours and has a young family and being a working dog they need lots of exercise , so it's easier for us to have them the bulk of the time as wē are retired and can give them the work they need.
They are not a breed you would want if you don't have lots of time. They are diggers and shed twice a year - for six months in winter and six months in summer!!
They are also very hunt orientated, being closely related to wolves.
But we wouldn't part with them for the world.
Thanks.

We have had many pets in our house over the years. We still have a good few including a rabbit, a couple of guinea pigs, and Roxy our blue merle border collie. Here she is eating at our dining room table.



She's a human in her mind not a dog.

Here is a photo of two of the fish in our tank, one is a silver dollar, we were given three of them many years ago and they have grown to be quite large. They ate most of the plants in the tank and a friend gave is the plant in the tank now and it is the only one we found that they do not eat. The other is a mossy green tiger bark, which Mrs Shifter loves.
We did have a cat for many years but he died, a few years back aged 22 and is still sadly missed. We chose not to get another cat due to our travelling.

Lily is our black and white rescue cat. We have had her 18 months and she is loving our new home in Creswick.

This is our cat Wendy who we 'adopted' when she was about one year old, or should I say she adopted us. She lived a few doors down but just enjoyed being at our place so after a few months she became ours. She disliked dogs (think it was because at her original home she had to fight the dog for her food) and use to go out of her way to attack them, even a German Shepherd. Later we got a German Shepherd and it was a love/hate relationship with them, he loved her but I don't think she totally hated him, though she use to swipe at him often even attempting to through glass.
My daughter could dance with her and play hide and seek but not many other people can pick her up.

I have had trouble finding the photo I wsnted where these cheeky fellows were actually coming inside. The male learnt to swing on the door until it opened. The photo I was after is one where he was sitting on Tony's arm eating out of his hand. Yes they are King Parrots who have adopted us
Not that we complain.
Thsnks for the cache Grumbligrot.

This is the story of our pet named TIM TAM. Early on in his life, when a puppy he was unlucky enough to contract tetanus, he was ill for some time, he could not walk, barely lift his head to drink, but with a lot of love from my husband and my sons, he recovered. I was called away interstate at this time, my sons sent me a very happy photo of him well up and walking. My photo shows a before (while a puppy) and as he is after - now.

The MajuraHathi household is four people members and the fifth is Echo. She is a Beagle / Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She is 11 years old now and is slowing down but lives a very comfy life in Canberra. She loves walks (what dog doesn't), she loves burying bones in the back yard and love being a person's lap - a bit big for that - but she loves it anyway.
Photo here is with cousin Harry the border collie who visits from time to time while his people are away.
Thankyou for allow us to feature Echo who comes on geocaching adventures but can be a bit eager on the lead, especially when there are native animals (kangaroos) about.
Cheers

Well... I had a dog named Boots till 10 days ago. And since then I have been dog sitting for my daughter. This is the closest I'm going to be to having pets now. I think travelling will be much easier without one. And I can't care for them like I used to.
Boots was once a happy and energetic Blue Roan Cocker Spaniel. He became like a very grumpy old man in the last year, snapping at little things and always needing to go to the vet. He cost me over $1000 in one one month last year, so it's no wonder I've been homeless for the last few months. hahaha He was good company sleeping in the car with me even if he was grumpy. I believe he had some kind of healing power. One time a daughter came home so drunk she kept stopping breathing. I had to sit beside her and shake her to keep it going. Boots kept pacing back and forth trying to get on her bed. I refused to let him. Eventually I gave in. He jumped up beside her, lay a paw on her leg, and started whimpering. She immediately started breathing freely and I eventually fell asleep. Another instance another daughter was in a similar state and kept moaning. Same thing happened with the dog. I gave in, let him jump on the bed, he put his paw on her, started whimpering, and she immediately fell quiet and asleep. Thats just the two most obvious examples. I sometimes wondered if there really is more to dogs than we think, like can they actually heal?

The dog I am sitting is a Maremma puppy called Taika (named after one of my two fave directors - so glad my kids like his stuff too). He's been good for me considering the circumstances. Tonight I gave him a talking to about mouthing my leg (it's been biting at my nerves, literally). He stared straight at me the whole time. Then he started 'talking' back to me. It was so weird. I've been sitting him for over 2 weeks and he hasn't done that the whole time. It was very cute actually.

I'll see what photos I have on my computer that I can share.
Thanks for the first opportunity I have had to talk about my Boots since losing him 10 days ago.

Nala is not very obedient and should have gone to puppy school and does not like the lead much but loves to walk as I guess all dogs do.
Thanks grumbligrot for placing. I liked your story about Tazz

We have "outside" pets - two sheep that we hand raised inside and when we move them from the front paddock to the back paddock they still want to come inside. The two "boys" are about seven years old and they are all we have left out of a flock of 6.

Our geopet is a Havanese with a name of Charley. He is not much of a cache finder but loves to come out for a look. TFTC

I thought I'd post one of the funniest pics we have of our dog, Basil, a cross Australian-Maltese terrier. We stopped for a picnic one day when we went out caching, having bought a roast chicken and some rolls along the way ... Basil found the chicken bag after we had transferred the chook into a plastic container, and then spent quite a while making sure he got every bit of juice that remained in the bag.

This is my cat Luna. We got him just over a year ago when he was going to be dumped at a pound. He's an indoors cat but my eldest daughter has taught him to walk with a harness and lead as well as some other tricks like sit and beg.

This is Noname and the reason he doesn't have a name is because I don't have a very good relationship with aquarium fish. Anything that ends up in this fish tank has a short life span, but not Noname who has been around for a few years now. Prior to the lockdown he had the whole tank to himself and seemed very happy. When the lockdown commenced I thought, as I was going to be locked in doors, it would be nice to have a few more fish to look at, so on the weekly shopping trip I purchased three additional fish. Within twenty four hours one had died, and I'm blaming the aquarium shop owner for its death as he was very rough bagging up the fish. Another fish died about two weeks ago and one remains and seems to be getting along well with Noname. So who knows when this virus thingy is all over I maybe responsible for two fish. By the way Noname is the bigger of the two fish but I guess you figured that out yourself.

Tilly the inquisitive cat eyeing off Honey the the Axolotl in named honey and is safe. Tilly like movement and I have been told that Honey is big for a Axolotl

We have 2 cats that we adopted a bit over a year ago. We have only been letting them outside for a few months and they are getting quite adventurous. I looked out the window the other day and spotted Rueben looking in from on top of the car and Ines from on the roof.

We have a most unusual pet that has been with us ever since we moved into this house fifty six years ago.
It is a huntsman spider called Fred. It’s probably like my hundred year old grandfather’s axe that has has twenty new handles and five new heads.
In other words it may have been many descendants from the original, but we have only ever seen one.
We don’t have to feed him, change his water, or take him for walks.
He is very shy and only appears when it is going to rain a lot.
He appeared last week on the wall, and today we have had over an inch of beautiful soaking rain.

Sitting back on lockdown for Covid and filling in time with Puzzles and locationless caches.
This one was a bonus with a photo to find instead.
Our only pet now is a 7 year old toy poodle named Cher.
She loves going on caching trips and walks along the trails searching for geckos in the bush.
Here is a photo of miss Cher after climbing up on a recently felled tree stump.
Thanks for the brain exercise and the cache Grumbligrot,

Sheba is our 13 year old German Sheppard. She suffers with arthritis, and as we approach the colder weather, we again wonder again if she will make it through winter.

Previously she has been more Greg's dog, but has taken to following me everywhere, won't go to bed until I do and even follows me into the bathroom (like having a toddler again).

This year has been different for her. Normally a town and indoor dog, we have isolated ourselves out in the shed on a farm. Her mobility has improved (thank goodness for medication) and she chases the steer across the paddock every time he comes near the shed.

This picture was taken after I had returned from town. I had gone overnight in this car. After we had done some jobs around the farm, she parked herself in the front seat of the car and would not get out. It was like she was saying "you are not going in this car again without me!"

Gotta love our dogs (the only pets we have had). It will be sad when she is gone, and we won't get another as we want to travel both overseas and join the grey nomads and travel Australia.

Mine is a little cat called Cricket, who turned up almost 4 years ago as a very wet and bedgraggled kitty hiding in the bushes next to the driveway after a weekend of torrential rain (about 370mm). It took me 4 night of leaving out food to coax her close enough to be caught, but then I finally managed to grab her. According to the vet I had a little 8-10 week old girl. The then resident cat (who had also turned up as a stray) had some very rude words to say about the newcomer and it took a few months before I could leave them alone together and she accepted the young one. Unfortunately that cat has now departed us due to old age, arthritis and cancers - she was an all white cat who had obviously spent a lot of time in the sun before she moved in. Thanks Grumbligrot.

Here she is relaxed on the deck a couple of weeks ago.
