me, i have a nice lil' farm in a rural neihbor hood about 50 acres w/ a very nice tree line for privecy. so i have lots of room to frolick aand play w/ my animals in peace, unfortionitly i will be mooving shortly (meh im almost old enough to drink i cant live in my parents house forever(, but still for the time being im usualy home all alonr 24/7. so i have a great setup for our life style, evan though i do only have 1 horse and though i love her i would love to have a stud, and of course my yogy bear he's the best!! so i was just wondering what it was like for some of our fellow zoo's + beasties? i know we all come from differant life styles some witth huge farms and lots and lots of animals and some with only small apartments and sadly no pets at all (i feel ur pain), so what it like for you? -spamy
I've been stuck in big cities for most of my life. Oddly enough, I kinda like it. When I was younger we had a house in the middle of nowhere with about 10 acres of land. That was BORING....Gimme the fast lane everytime.
I have lived in the country, in suburbia, and in the city. My preferance for a zoo life style is the country fairly close ta the city. This allows you your privacy when you want it, and still have access the things in the city. Thus allowing you to take advantage of both life styles.

I am a full time R.V.-er.Right now it's a large camper(for sale) on a very big pickup.wherever I may roam,where I lay my head is home.
i live in the city with a couple of roomates down here butbut up at my other home it's in the middle of the dessert sort of but i still have roomates which sucks ass big time
I live in a one room apartment with my Female Roomie she is a great girl It's almost in the center of town, so it's me and woofles. She don't like many of the dogs in the area though fur some reason.
Well, I live 5 miles in on a seasonal road (not maintained) on 100 acres of land.It is about 40 acres hardwood forest and 60 acres cedar swamp. This acreageis surrounded by thousands of acres of mead owned and state owned land soI have the ultimate privacy setting. I share this place with 2 female k-9 companions, and lots of wildlife. I live in a camp which is now my home.I just had a phone line run out here about a month ago and Ive been loving itever since. The nearest village (pop. 300) is about 15 miles away. I spend all mytime back here and go to the nearest city (pop.15,000) about once a month.It is about 35 miles away. I dont even have plates on my car and do all my driving back here on the logging roads with my 2 girls.Never cared for the city much, so this is the place for me.p.s. mead owned land means large areas of forested land owned by mead paperinc. and is open to the public, and state owned land is also open to the public.
sounds like you got it made

I wish I lived in the country. Unfortunately I live in the 'burbs
I'm renting a second house on my landlord's property about a mile outside of town. They have 3 acres here, a big barn, and 6 horses. I haven't done anything with the horses. I'm waiting until I get my own mare and she will be very special to me. I don't like the idea of messing with someone else's horse. My landlord said I could keep a horse here for free. I hope to get one within the next year.It's a nice place here. The house is big for just myself and it gets a little lonely living alone. Hopefully someday I can find a zoo friendly woman. The only bad thing about this place (besides having to pay rent) is my truck and car get covered with dust and cobwebs in about three days. Ah, the joy of country living.
Apartment in big city, but I don't mind, there's plenty of nice parks eveywhere so when I get a dog he/she will be happy
I live in my own place in the big city with my mate: a purebred male GSD. And it's very private and quiet - just close the door heh. I've lived in the city most of my life, and I couldn't see myself living in the country/boonies/middle-of-nowhere.
I have a townhome with a fenced backyard. Just me and my two male dogs. a Mutt and a Lab. National Forest is only two miles away. We go play there almost everyday after work. Going to move to the family farm of 320 acres in OK in seven years. No one lives there, the land is least to a local rancher for grazing right now. When i move there, among other things I will get a sheep, name her Suzy, put a pink ribbon in her hair. Woof woof !
i am relegated to a tiny box room on the family farm which is known as my lair
I have a small farm in a rural area. There is plenty of privacy, but I would prefer something like Jezzabelle. I have little use for "civilization".
I hear ya, OldZoo. Thats why I stay back here. Its a little tough in the winterthough, but a cold harsh upper penninsula winter is a small price to paycompared to living and conforming to the society of today. Ill live like this tillthe day I die and when that day comes Ill be here then too.

I live semi-rural (though it's like NY NY compared to your spread ) and hate when I'm working on something and realize I have to drive 30 miles to get some part to finish something. Couln't survive with a 'once a month' drive into the Real World. You must hate it when you forget something!
I live in the 'burbs'. Right where all the action, noise, disruption, and everything else the city has to offer. Not really my kind of living but you have to go where the job tells you to go.My dream place is to live out in the country where it is peaceful and quite with enough room to have horses (I like horses too) and my dogs. To be not too close to town, but not too far either. I live in Vancouver British Columbia and would much rather move and live a life in the Interior (Prince George area)Maybe when I win the lottery.....Until then, I have to be content with what I have.
live in an over priced appartment .i here ya jezz ,when i was drivin tractor trailer i took crusher parts up to the u.p for an iron ore mine up there the snow banks were higher then my truck then i ran out of paved road and ran on dirt fore many miles it was nice up there deer bigger then a car i think and lots of them .i would love to live up there .

Another apartment dweller here. Just a small two bedroom flat for 3 of us. Right now that's about all we can afford. I'm not complaining though - I know many other people in life are worse off than us. Grateful for what I have, but like everyone else, just waiting for Lotto 6/49 for ring my door I don't mind living here, but I think if I could I would want to move into either western Alberta or eastern BC - Give me the trees and mountains and fresh air .What I'm imagining is exactly like this old movie I remember seeing. It was about 3 idiot guys (not a rare breed ) going on a canoe trip. They eventually get lost in the woods and come across two women living in a tree house. That'd be me totally carefree and unshaven Huggles

Unfortunatly I reside in housing projects downtown in my city, which can suck sometimes.
I still live with my parents, somewhat on the country-side. But, sadly those tightly compacted neighborhoods where the house have no more than a yard between them and with about 500+ houses in them are growing out my way fairly quickly. Which is sad, the roads coming out here used to be beautiful wooded ones, now those places are bare with hundreds of houses being built on the land. Is such a shame to see it all going as quick as it is.

3 days ago i was in a private guard gated horse community up in the canyons of Los Angeles in a 4600 square foot meditteranean style house with a lagoon style backyard with a pool on one and a half acres. now i'm an a 5 person dorm in Santa Barbara for college.... guess my old surroundings taught me to work hard in school to earn such things. i better start getting used to this... should be fun!
Astro,Why earn them? Why not become a lawyer?

Army bases Grew up living on army bases and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Right now, I spend most of my time in a cheap rental place with nothing but the basics (bed/living room, kitchen, bathroom, toilet). Sadly, I'm not allowed to have animals there, though I must admit I wouldn't have the time to take care of one at the moment anyway. I'm a student, so I don't have the money for a huge place of my own. Let's just hope the future doesn't bring economic disaster and I'll be able to buy something decent one day

You go, man! Short term pain for long term gain. I hear so many people complaining that they don't have enough money for a horse, or even a dog, etc. but if you keep focused on the goal, finish the education, etc. you can live your life by your rules. Rock on (geez, I feel like a cheerleader... )
thanks for your support wispwolf. i appreciate it. i want to be a success in this world so i must finish college and go on to graduate school... hopefully i will start my own design firm someday next year my parents said they'd get me my own apartment so hopefully i will find a place where they allow animals
I have a own little house in a little german town ... if i was a horse or dog zoo i COULD live here with these animals but i am not such a "normal" zoo .... and the people around wouldent understand when i make a reptile, waren, alligator, snake farm out of my house .. (little minded germen neighbourhood someone called the police when he saw a tiny little baby python ...)(but i am working on a iguana room in the house... iguanas are ok but i love bigger reptiles and dont want to have sex with them but i love touching them having them around me they are erotic for me but sex with an alligator ... hmmm dont know .. )

I have my own place in a small town on the East coast of Scotland
Oh Scotland sounds great
I live at my parents home, quite usual arround here in mexico, the house is big, and I can live with my 2 K9 boys, the other option in mexico city would be an apartment, where you can't have an animal by law, unless you are blind... anyway, I have been an urbanite for 29 years now, so living outside the smog cloud might be dangerous to me and Mexico city is the only place in Mexico where you can get the stuff I need for my hobbies on the cheap.
currently i either live with my parents, on campus, or at work lol most of the time these days is spent in my dorm ..... self explanitory. my parents have 15 acres with a rather large home and a 6 stall barn . (actually the barn is mine i bought it from my parents when they said they were going to demolish it) at my parents i have my 2 horses Cai (AQHA mare) and Ziggy (AQHA gelding). i get free board at work so when breeding season comes around and i am working they are with me there, and we go riding every afternoon. so i guess my living conditions are pretty laid back lol
Please help keep this site free by visiting our site sponsors - click on the banned below and have a look at their sites.
My living conditions? Well, I currently live in housing provided by the riding club where I work. It is located in the Southwest region of Connecticut (usa) and it has been my "home" for about two years that I've worked there. They gave me a room on the second floor in the stable, so it's only a short walk downstairs to my aisle where the horses I take care of are boarded.The pay is good (when I include the "free" room) and it is a nice place to work, but since the club charges members over $2000.00 per month (US) to board a horse there (yea, you read it right two thousand dollars per month!), there is no way I'll be able to talk them into getting a stall for my Muffin mare when they can get that much for a paying customer. So I currently keep Muffin at a boarding stable north of the club which cost me $400.00 per month, full board. But that stable is 51 miles away from where I now live and work! That part has been hard to deal with at times and I really do miss taking care of my own mare every day like I have done the first 15 years we have been together. I do get two days off each week which I use to spend some "quality" time with her. But to tell you the truth, it has been VERY HARD on me the last two months because, well, since I found the BF here. Why? When I found this place and started reading the posts, it gave me a good in the ass to really think about how much Muffin has been a very big part of my life and how much I truly miss her! So I am now looking for a new job where I can have Muffin with me again....I should have done this a long time ago and in a way should also thank everyone here in getting me motivated in doing this.I also know Muffin is very happy and well cared for where she lives right now, with acres of turnouts and many horsie friends to be with. So if I do find another job, it will have to be something that would give my mare a nice place to live in as well. Right now I have a job and place to live and Muffin has a nice place as well, so if this does happen, it will have to be something really "special" where I know that both of us will be happy living in, not just for me.Anyway, thought I also show you my living conditions with some photos, so....
Here is the main barn where I live/work...
...my room is the first windows on the left on the second floor...
...and this is the aisle where I work...
...and this is the turnout field where my Muffin mare lives....she also has a stall to go in at night. In this photo, I tried to take a picture of Muffin standing in front of me with the other horses in the turnout in the background. But the moment I let her go and picked up the camera, Muffin just took off to join the others....that is her in the middle running away to join her herd. I my Muffin!
Have house and 10 acres in US. When we (wife and I), first moved here, there were no neighbors anywhere close. Now it is homes almost side by side. Still have a little privacy, but would love to have a couple of hundred acres with home right in the middle. The further from neighbors, the better. TJ
I live beside the beach on the east coast of scotland. Not secluded but nice.
I currently live in the city with my parents
Well, i live in medium-sized city. i'm a horse lover so lifestyle is quite hard fortunatelly there is a stable at the end of city, one hour way. the other worse thing it's quite expensive to hold on, and at the stables are lot of people wisiting, walking etc. well, you don't risk, you don't live.... But we are moving to a farm so it will be a heaven of the earth cant wait for it
I live in alittle apartment in the city where I am bored out of my mind when I am off work. They don't allow pets or even smoking, I have to walk off the property to have one. I plan on moving in about two years into a small house once I got enough to actually buy the place but I may end up moving into another better apartment as the work is currently good where I live as the city expands
Just finished 20 years in the Forces, kept talking myself out of living out and getting a dog because I knew I could be deployed with little or no notice. With most of my friends being in the same unit I would have to surrender the dog (probably to be destroyed ) or at best dump it on someone while I missed a big chunk of it's life .Now I've packed it in I have 1/2 an acre in a small country town, 2 dogs, and my own income (not unemployment) I'm ready to start living!But is 2 enough?I may get itchy feet and move to an area where I can have more than 2 dogs but that won't be for at least a couple of years. It'd be nice to have enough land that I could let the girls bark when they play and not worry about the neighbours complaining
