Post by: 0612 on November 22, 2004, 08:47:33 AM
Oh, for those who haven't read Fantastic Beasts, the pets would be described here:

Crup
Creature alike Jack Russel Terrier with a forked tail. Very anti-muggle and very faithful to owner.

Diricrawl
Better known to muggles as the 'Dodo'. It is able to vanish at will and reapper somewhere else.

Hippogriff
I don't think you need an explanation for this one, do you?

Chimera
A rare Greek monster with a lion's head, a goat's body and a dragon's tail. It is vicious and bloody and extremely dangerous.

Kneazle
An extremely faithful cat-like pet that can bring the owner home if he is lost.

So who will it be?

Hunh? Both of you (Fawkes and Alexa) called for a crup, but apparently one of you didn't vote! Go on, vote!

Oh, BTW a Kneazle for me. I love cats.

the only reason I like cats is because they like mice, then the dogs come in, lol, just joking ;D
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: 0612 on November 23, 2004, 08:36:14 AM
They like mice? I thought they'd like nothing better than to eat mice. LOL  ;D
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Em on November 23, 2004, 08:39:14 AM
I wouldn't mind having a cat around :P, no more mice!
Title: Re:Which Pet?

You mean you've got mice running around your home?  :o
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Em on November 23, 2004, 08:50:55 AM
kind of, once in a while, um, usually hiding not out running around, but that's what you get for living on a farm.....least we don't have a basement, or else we'd have snakes!
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: 0612 on November 23, 2004, 09:03:56 AM
LIVING ON A FARM!?! Cool! We don't have such space over here in Singapore. We live cramped up in flats. No mice, but no fun either. NOT EVEN A BALCONY! Talk about a garden or A FARM!
Title: Re:Which Pet?

well that's what in the middle of nowhere means and that's why my bus ride is 2 hours long :(
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: 0612 on November 23, 2004, 09:10:43 AM
Oh well, that's only one bad thing! (And a 2 hour bus ride isn't too bad, is it?)
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Em on November 23, 2004, 09:15:01 AM
um it really sucks, you get home really late.......but i like living in the middle of nowhere, lots of trails to ride bikes on ;D
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: 0612 on November 23, 2004, 09:21:17 AM
Oh well... At least living in the middle of nowhere means you won't have neighbours banging their doors at 3am in the morning, waking the whole neighbourhood. And at least living in the middle of nowhere means you won't have those crazy people deep-frying chicken wings for sale IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. Yep, no kidding. That horrible oil they use stinks, and it has already formed a layer over my fish tank. The fish can't breathe, can you imagine that? There lots of good stuff, not living in a flat...
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Em on November 23, 2004, 10:35:36 AM
No, but the phone is ringing at 3AM, Very popular for fireworks, which I don't mind, but a lot of work on a farm, but we just live in the fields, not that great living here though.  We get so much snow we have to leave 4 hours early to get to where you want, makin up school into the middle of summer, some weeks you go to school once because it's cancled....but I love where I live ;D though we don't have a balcany or anything, just a rundown old trailer :P not too bad though ;D

For me hippogriff of course! I wish I could fly...well it might make me cry coz of coldness up high in the sky in this season though.... :-\
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Em on November 25, 2004, 03:48:26 AM
make the best of the coldness, well the snow if you get any....Then again that's why there are jets and airplains or airplanes, dunno, but those pollute the world....
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Tweetie on November 25, 2004, 04:39:19 AM
I would like to have a Chimera.  It would make an excellent watchdog! ;D

I'm not sure I'd want a pet that would disappear. (Dodo)

A hippogriff would be nice, transporting you places and such, but I'd like it to be more ferocious, not only when you insult it, but that's just me. :)

What they need is an animal that has all talents: ferociousness, loyalty to its owner, ability to help lost people, and anti-muggleness.  That would be great!!!  :D
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: 0612 on November 25, 2004, 09:12:26 AM
A Chimera?!? According to Fantastic Beasts, a Chimera can hardly be tamed. So before it becomes you watchdog, it'll bite your head off first.  ;D
Title: Re:Which Pet?

Hippogriffffffff,ooooooohhhhhhhhhh,this is what I need now.I really wanna fly,don`t you agree??
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: 0612 on December 8, 2004, 08:06:13 PM
Yeah. However, I think if you want to have more fun flying, you might wanna consider animagi. You can turn into an eagle or a bat!
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Audrey on December 8, 2004, 08:35:56 PM
Hi 0612,it`s nice to see you online here today!!Yeah,being a bat or any other birds myself seems to be fun!But avoiding the dangerous being attacked by an enermy in the sky,riding on the hippogriff is better I think! ;D
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: 0612 on December 11, 2004, 08:24:12 AM
Yeah, a hippogriff can protect you, but I don't think there are that many dangers in the sky.
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Em on December 11, 2004, 08:28:34 AM
with the world today, yes there are many dangers..... airplanes and anything else that flys, lol, don't feel like thinking specificly.....
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: 0612 on December 11, 2004, 08:37:49 AM
Yeah, but they should be avoidable. And as Audrey said "enemies".  ;D

Ahh, umm, I think I will stick with the hippogriff ;D (be a dentist, sure you'll find that not only a NUndu's breath can kill, haha, just had to say that, as ginny says, you'll have to excuse my hyperness ;D)
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Audrey on December 23, 2004, 08:34:47 PM
Yeah,Em I also want to keep hippogriff but he is dangerous anyway.He can kick my a**e if I don`t be good for him and am bit stressed out now...so maybe I will tie him somewhere far from me untill I come back to my calm usual self,ha ha ;D
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Em on December 24, 2004, 02:51:57 AM
lol, yeah, I'd end up saying "shut the F up you big annoying bird" or something along those lines (in words I will not say because I don't want to be ban from the forum, I sware enough already), then he'd probably attack me!
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Audrey on December 24, 2004, 04:09:08 PM
Today am more calm,ready to touch him!But his big beak scares me ;D

Just as he bows back to you, there's nothing to be scared of!

Never say can't. Sphinxes are said to never have been tamed to witches or wizards. Nothing else... Who says I don't need to guard anything, either?

Anything can be acheived.. Complications are what slow down and stop most people from acheiving things-..
I guess what I'm trying to say, is,
"You really, never know.."

Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: 0612 on January 14, 2005, 01:34:07 PM
Aragog? Ew... If you've read the second book, you'd find that Aragog's really vile. Like, his "eight milky-white eyes". You know, that kind of thing.
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Audrey on January 20, 2005, 02:35:50 PM
Yeah,absolutly ;D I know that none like Aragog but don`t you think it would be very nice if you could tame him? Coz he can be helpful in a way...maybe.I will let him help me with the long queue as everybody stops joining the queue so that I can do my job quickly....well,am I crazy or what?! ;D
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: 0612 on January 22, 2005, 09:09:55 AM
You'd better not be serious. Tame an acromantula the size of Aragog? Even tiny acromantulas cannot be tamed, according to fantastic beasts.
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Audrey on January 24, 2005, 03:24:53 PM
Ohhh really ::)didn`t know that...so I let the Aragog-can-be-heipful-idea away and stuck to Hippogriff!
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: 0612 on January 24, 2005, 03:32:38 PM
Yeah. I would have preferred a Hippogriff myself if I didn't like cats that much.  ;D

Post by: Ginny Weasly on January 24, 2005, 07:44:52 PM
You like cats? Want another one. Currently, we have WAY too many here. It's 8 cats, I think. Used to be 16, so we've gotten rid of some of them.

They have to live outside.
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: 0612 on February 7, 2005, 03:30:45 PM
Duh. I mean, do people keep dogs indoors?
Of course, you'd say yes if you live in Singapore because there is no 'outside' that you can call your own! That sucks.
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Ginny Weasly on February 7, 2005, 07:36:59 PM
actually, alot of peoples pets here live inside. The only reasons my pets don't live inside (exclude the fish, turtle, and bird) is because of the baby and they have fleas. Otherwise, the cats and dog (my other dog died ) would live inside.
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Em on February 8, 2005, 10:12:36 AM
yeah, lady (cutest lab in the world) is spoiled with indoor environment.... but she lives outside at the same time... all depends on the weather... My old dog lived inside until he got too wild....
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Audrey on February 9, 2005, 06:59:27 PM
Actually in my country,there are dogs which live outside and live inside as well.It depends on what kida dog it is...I know it sounds strange...My dog,which has been dead for 2 months lived with us indoors.
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Ginny Weasly on February 9, 2005, 07:49:43 PM
Donsn't sound too strange. For instance, my beagal, before he died, lived inside for most of his life. Then he started thinking he was human, and he farted something awful. LOl! But some dogs live inside all the time and some alternate depending on the weather. So.it kinda depends on the owner and the house.
Title: Re:Which Pet?
Post by: Em on February 11, 2005, 11:26:18 AM
yeah, so it's not all that strange...

Crayfish? It's some kinda lobster, isn't it?  ;D

Title: Re: Which Pet?
Post by: ChoChangHP118 on April 22, 2007, 03:42:41 AM
actually i'd rather have a Puffskein:

The Puffskein is found worldwide. Spherical in shape and covered in soft, custard- colored fur, it is a docile creature that has no objection to being cuddled or thrown about. Easy to care for, it emits a low humming naise when contented. From time to time a very long, thin, pink tongue will emerge from the depths of the Puffskein and snake throught the house searching for food. The Puffskein is a scavenger taht will eat anything from leftovers to spiders, but it has a particular preference for sticking its tongue up the nose of sleeping wizards and eating their bogies. This tendency has made the Puffskein much beloved by wizarding children for many generations and it remains a highly popular wizarding pet.

i'm bored.
i may be sirius on here...but i'm a girl in real life!
if i were sirius in real life then i would defiantly pick a hippogriff!!   ;D
