Rahab
Is your name special?

What does your name mean? Were you named after anyone or anything? My name is Rahab. I was named, of all things, after a prostitute in the bible! What was my mom thinking!?!? Rahab turned out to be a good person... but hey come on, a prostitute! Thanks mom!

Hey Rahab, my doggie sister is named Jezybelle(Mom changed the spelling of course) but Jez doesn't know what that means so we won't ever tell her. Hee Hee. Snarff I knew exactly where your name came from. We love the Thundercats and wish they would come on TV again. Snarff Snarff......... :)

Ooh, I would love to see you on a talking dog video saying my name! My mommy likes to say my name a lot, but she also likes to leave the "S" off and say it in a weird voice like Pinky from the Pinky and the Brain cartoon! She's such a weirdo!

My original daddy named me after the lead singer of the band HIM, and my step daddy named my step-sister Jade after guitar player of AFI, and NOW we just acquired Scruffy Wallace into the mix, who was already named Scruffy Wallace but we forget why....silly people always concentrating on names, I just like running around, it's not like I listen anyways! haha. They could call me POOP and I'd probably come to it...

When Loreta-Bean adopt me, she name me "Hunny Bunny". This is stupid name for Cat, as Cat is not a bunny. When I go to my new home, I get named Diamond because I have little white spot on chest, looks like I wearing a diamond. Not best name in the world, but much better than Hunny Bunny.

My mom named me after a fat drunk who liked to hang out at the bar she worked at. She said I had the fattest kitten belly she'd ever seen (not due to worms, either) and the JoJo human had the fattest beer belly she'd ever seen! Moral to the story: Don't feel bad about being named after a biblical prostitute...it could be worse!

Akasha
when my human sister got me, she named me akasha because shes weird(lol, just kidding..sort of :p). She read that in sanskrit it's "aether". That means in the five great element of some religions, there's air, earth, water and fire. then theres akasha, which is spirit, the stuff that unites everything. she thought it was pretty and a good name for a black cat. Then when mommy got my bro dexter, my human sister suggested the name dexter jokingly and mom loved it.

My name is Mr. Pandemonium. That is because I caused pandemonium when I came to live in my home. My mom and her friend drove almost 2 hours each way to the roadside rest stop where they saw me several days before, put out a fire on the side of the road, made big male truck drivers use the girls restroom so I wouldn't get scared away from where the cat trap was, and drove home with me crying and meowing all the way...and they didn't throw me out of the car!

Mommy changed my name to Peanut cause she said I was the color of a honey roasted peanut, plus compared to my dog mommy, Misty, I was a peanut. When my human mommy would talk about me & tell everyone my name is Peanut, they all thought I was a yorkie or some other small breed of dog....well imagine their surprise when they met me for the first time. I like my name very much & would never change it for anything.

Bug spray kills spiders just fine. Bean uses bug spray to kill them all the time. She kill this one last week: http://www.geocities.com/torontodreaming/xanga/spider.JPG Lloth is name of the Drow Spider Deity from Advanced Dungeons and Dragons and the books that the game spawned. Since they borrowed heavily on already established mythos for the game system, I suppose that it might have some basis in earlier folklore, but I don't know what it is. I have very little interest in spiders. The ones to watch here are called brown recluse, and they are very small, not big, but very poisonous. Bean get bit three times by one. It make her very sick, but she hard to kill, I guess. Killing rats is my job. I also kill bugs and birds, but keeping the canal rats out of the house is what I am supposed to do. Cape Coral has more canals per square foot than Venice, Italy. Plus we are very close the Everglades swamp, so we get a large variety of strange animals that rub elbows with the humans, and not all of them are welcome. Water rats is just one of those species. Bean does not really have anything against rats or mice, she just does not want them in her kitchen.

You don't even need bug spray. We used to get scorpians in the house every time they cut the grass and I killed those and they were MUCH more difficult to deal with than spiders. Scorpians jump and they have stingers. Spiders aren't as fast and they have to get on you to bite you.

you havent seen too many spiders move have you?? Lloth is very fast, she sits still then suddenly an explosion of movement.. its harder for a scorpion to sting you than it is for it to pinch you or a tarantula to bite you.. anyone that has a tarantula would know if you go sticking tongs in their cage and it pisses em off, they dont have to be on something to bite it.. just closeby.. my momma's scorpion is much slower

We get Wolf Spiders in Florida. I have killed my fair share, and scorpians too. You make a big fuss about Black Widows but their bites are rarely fatal because they only inject a small amount of poison. Also only female BWS are toxic. How can you tell if Lloth is male or female? They usually only sell males for the pet trade so that people who think it's cool to keep these things as pets don't hurt themselves. The Scorpians down here are not very poisonous. If you get stung, your paw swells up for like a day and is a little sore. That's all. Big fuss over nothing Smokey.

'stuff' in the ends of them.. males also have these hooks under the first pair of legs that keep the female from killing him while hes mating.. the hooks hold her upper legs up and hes safe until he lets go:) and yeah usually its males that get sold.. females can make alot of money since you cant capture her type from the wild anymore.. its illegal, only bred ones can be sold

I'm not sure if I'd like having scorpions in the house!!! My mommy said she would hate it...she says bugs seek her out to bite her so she would be afraid the scorpion would bite her in the night.

Horray!!! I love tug of war... tug tug....don't stop playing :) If not bugs what are they? *tilts head to side with slight look of confusion* Mommy says they will sting her regardless of the type of animal but still looks like creepy bug to her... and she couldn't bring herself to kill anything even if she was afraid it would sting her... she even scoops the spiders up that come in the house in the summer and sets them free...silly mommy...they just come back and bite her fro wrecking their pretty webs.

Here Smokey read this... http://exoticpets.about.com/cs/tarantulas/a/tarantulasaspet.htm and this... http://exoticpets.about.com/cs/scorpions/a/emperorscorpion.htm Toxic as bee. Oh boy. One of the Florida Panther wives step on scorpian when she move down here from Canada. So she gets a little nervous about bugs. Husband strews potato chips down hall between bedroom and bathroom after wife goes to sleep. Do you know what potato chip sounds like to human when they step on in the middle of the night? Florida Panthers should be happy they not short a forward for the rest of the season. Bean says that trick would be "grounds for divorce" whatever that means. Kirby would eat potato chips, scorpian, spider, and probably rat too. According to dog book Bean buy last weekend, Yorkshire Terror bred from Skye and Malteses and several other dogs to be ratter in Victorian times.

give it a rest already for crying out loud.. youre not gonna eat any of us or encourage anyone else to.. so shudda up or i squirt you with water, gettin tired of it and tarantulas are more about power.. they dont need strong poison because of their size... as for the emporer scorpion.. its much more likely to pinch you than sting you.. personal experience from momma.. the pinchers draw blood because they can be used to slice.. rule of the thumb, if scorpion has big pinchers.. they have less venom, have been relying more on pinchers.. small pinchers.. you in trouble

The's good information to know...mommy likes to scuba dive A LOT and she goes weird places....if she see's a scorpion she'll check out the pinchers...and then tell hotel manager to come pick it up and take it out of the room :)

whatever.. if you want to be mean by posting pictures like that that might offend other pet owners.. fine, be that way.. -shrugs- at least im nice and respect others and their momma's and poppa's choice of pets.. anyways.. -tugtugtugging with kirby- yay this is fun!!!! dont eat the rope though its for pulling!! momma says that they's in a family called 'arachnids' like crabs, mites, all kinds of stuff!! she say buggies only have 6 legs:) uhh dont let them go picking up ANY scorpion, alot of poison or not.. even less powerful venom can cause a severe allergic reaction.. not good to find that out the hard way! better to just let it be hehe:)

Don't worry Fizzgig, I would never try to eat you...I am a pampered indoor cat. Mommy heard mice in the attic, but she and daddy agreed that my brothers and I wouldn't make very good mousers because we are too spoiled. We don't even eat bugs, we're more interested in playing with them! (As for the mouse problem, daddy set up some traps which mommy insisted that they are no kill traps!)

Me & mommy read that today...very interesting. Mommy could never have one of these as a pet though....she is allergic to mosquito bites, imagine if she were bitten by one of these? She does leave the spiders she finds in the house alone because they trap all the bugs for her. Daddy is afraid of spiders....shhhhh...don't tell anyone!

My mommy is allergic to misquitos too...and black flies...you have never seen a mosquito bite swell so big or stik around so long...before she knew she was alleric the Dr. would ask are you sure that's a mosquito bite? My granddogma (grandma) is allergic to bees....she goes into anaphylactic shock...scarrrrrrryyyyy.

Yes I would eat all of those things...My breed was actually bred way back when to keep the rats and mice out of the mills and factories in Europe but the rich wives of mill and factory owners liked us and we got to eventually move into the rich house and not work any more. If it wasn't for rats and things like that then I might never have been bred or noticed by rich ladies...so I try to control my urge to eat rats now :) Give me a chip any day of the week!!! Especially cheetoes....uuuummmm cheetos *toung flops out and a drop of drool hits the floor*

Well...When I was still awaiting for my furever home at the shelter here....They had named me BUBBA of all things, Mama didn't like that name for a girly dog, so she started off calling me Baby, But I really didn't respond to it, so she started calling me Kira, I didnt liek that name either, and then mama watched the Disney movie Aladdin, and noticed that my eyes matched the same color as Princess Jasmines Dress thingy, and I act like a princess { That was 1 of the other names that mama wanted to call me...Princess }

So, She put them both together...Hence my name...Princess Jasmine

Most just call me Jasmine, or Jazz though
