Ahem. I meant to say Nevermore
Skeptical albatross is skeptical.
I love this thread.
There is a capybara on here. Cute little booger. There’s a YouTube vid of one playing with border collies and he’s having a hell of a good time.
ETA: @Larry_Borgia is a capybara (don’t tell his wife) and @FloatyGimpy is a budgie.
I’m again wearing my fav pic of The Best Cat in the World. It will probably get changed back to the Gormless one because I’m still grieving over Steve.
He loved me so much, he lived to breath the same air as me.
Hide your sheep.
@Gatopescado is a(n invisible) catfish.
First Frog.
Well, not exactly, but close enough.
It has the shape of a frog at least, but shapeshifters, well, you know.
Fish. @Gatopescado is another, and it seems like we have more but none are coming to mind.
Maybe we can form team aquatic.
Not a fly, but @Northern_Piper is a mosquito. 
I talk about My Crew of Dachushunds enough to count them. You all know them and some of you love them.
Burpo is a Good Dog!
@Gatopescado , You named your dog ‘Burpo’?
Did you get a new puppy?
Show us a picture.
Oh I hope, I hope it’s a new puppy. Mr. Fish don’t hold out. You can’t hide your new puppy behind a blank avatar.
Let’s see, what is the names of the crew? Hixie, Dickie and Buddy. Nope no ‘Burpo’
Yay! New puppy!!
@ekedolphin’s avatar has something to do with a fox.
messed up the quote system again

Best cat checking in.
They’re definitely up to something, nobody can be that friendly!
Ah OK thanks, sneaky cats!
Nice tribute, what was the reason you joined the SDMB?
Thanks, I thought it was a rather striking picture! And you’re right that is a handsome cat, used to have a cat called Ginger though really he was more sandy-brown.
You’re right, it’s obviously crazy talk
Huh I thought he was a border-collie, that’s a great pic!
A dolphin with a fox-themed avatar, how confusing.
Thanks for the answers everyone! There are definitely other foxes here but I don’t think any have introduced themselves in this thread.
Anyway at my count, I lost track so this may not be entirely accurate -
Cat x 13
Dog x 6
Bird x 5
Fish x 2
And 1 each of 13 other species.
It’s practically a zoo.
My avatar is the only academic dog. And he wears a tie.
Certainly has the hair cut down pat.
@Northern_Piper’s avatar is often accused of being an animal. It’s actually bagpipes. Or so he says; certain Canadians are less trustworthy than others. 
You really have one of the very best username / avatar combos of the current Dope. Both are memorable and instantly recognizable even in the tiny thumbnail. And they both go together.
Bravo good dog person!
