Animals of all shapes and sizes have become companions to many people of the
MENSA society --- from ordinary pets from dogs to cats and even your unusual
pets, like the geoduck. Check out these MENSA PETS and see why people of
the MENSA society think it's a smart idea to have them around and why they
love their pets.

| Rhodes, the feline friend of Daniel Gilmore from Mensa of Western Washington, passed away earlier this year after battling a feline form of immune deficiency. Daniel remembers his pet as a "scholarly" type (thus his name). |

Oreo loves his sweets! He knew exactly what he wanted at the store.
Here he is trying to fit into his Krispy Kreme Doughnuts hat. Not exactly the traditional way to do it, but he looks pretty satisfied and content. |

Wentworth is not your ordinary type pet like a dog or cat. He is a geoduck!
Geoducks are one of the largest burrowing clams in the world...
so large that they cannot completely fit into the shell. They weigh about two pounds and can live as long as 100 years!
The age is determined by the growth rings on the shell. Wentworth is mid-age and still has many years to go.
He feeds on phytoplankton, zooplankton, algae, bacteria, detritus and "Geoduck Chow" by filtering the food particles from the water with his gills.
Wentworth is a nice companion. But geoducks, in general, are not known for forming any close emotional ties. http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/geoduck.jpg
Ginger and Fred are two loving Shih-Tzu parents. They just had a litter of seven puppies, five boys and two girls, last September. All puppies were adopted into new homes within a couple of months of being born. During the first month, Ginger and Fred were very dedicated and loving towards their newborn pups. They would always play and take care of each one of them. Now that each puppy has a new home, Ginger and Fred misses their young ones.

Searcy is a two year old Miniature Red Piebald Dachshund from Crossgates. Both Searcy and his owner Karen Felder are discovering new ways to enjoy the "Dog Days of Summer". They are members of the Brandon Agility Running K-9. s Club (BARK) in Brandon, Mississippi. They are working in the initial phases of agility training. It is hard and tiresome work
for the both of them but they have lots of fun and Searcy is an excellent candidate for agility because of his way to anticipate behavior sequences and commands. |

Daisy is a twelve-year-old dog of uncertain parentage. She was adopted from the Humane Society. She is a very intelligent dog and understands
more than her owners expected. She knows when food will be coming by the sound of the timer on "Pavlov" the microwave. She also hounds the mailman every morning until he gives her a biscuit treat. Daisy loves to play around and have fun with her family too. http://hometown.aol.com/ithildin67/DaisysDays.html
