How many pets do you have and what kind are they?

Oh my god, this is, like, my favorite subject! You know how some people just go on and on about thier kids - I do that same thing but about my animals. Alright, here goes: Avalon - my Dalmatian/Labrador cross, she was a rescue, I have had her for about five years now, she's great with us (my family) but not so great around strangers no matter how much socializing I go through with her. Patches - my domestic medium haired cat, also a rescue, she was part of a litter of kittens that was dropped off at my house years ago, kind of a snob. Stinky - my domestic short haired cat, again with the rescue, she was a hit by car patient that was dropped off at the vet's office that I worked at in '03 and I took responsiblity for her bills and adopted her, she kind of psychotic but is hilarious. Norman - my Angus/Limosine cross cow that has septic arthritis and dwarfism, guess what? she's a rescue (it's my disease - rescuism) Norman (yes, it's a girl!) is almost two years old, weighs about 300 pounds and stands as tall as my stomach, for me she is a doll, I hug her and groom me and she pushes me around and begs for food, oh, and she grooms me too by licking my clothes. She is scared of other people and runs really weird but she is my baby. My herd of goats - I have fourteen right now, a mix of dairy breeds, meat breeds and mix breeds, they are the most entertaining thing on my farm. I have two boys, Aikane and Puki and the females are Venus, Serena, Lilo, Kiska, Chocolate, Dyani, Oreo, Faleen, Ioke, Iwa, Kokoleka and Morticia. Mini-Roo and Frenchie - these are my two Bantam chickens, the smallest pets on my farm, they have great personalities and follow us around like tiny dogs. That's about all the pets I have...today...I get new animals all the time, so you never know who or what you will find here. You can see pictures of my pets at flickr.com, my screen name is kakemafarms, it's free to sign up, you don't earn any money by going there (neither do I) but you sure have a lot of fun!

well...i love cats but we cannot have one since that my son is allergy to cat.

We have nine fish. I used to have cats, my husband used to have a dog, but because we live in an apartment building, we can't have any pets that make noise.

We have two dogs. A male Akita, named Yoshee and a female Boxer named Halo. We got Yoshee from an Akita breeder and we rescued Halo from a very unhappy situation. Yoshee is 3 and Halo is 2 years old. Yoshee's bark will scare the begebbers out of you and Halo says, "pet me, pet me."

HI!Ihave 2 cats named Missy&Tiger.They are the same as your picture.Tiger is 9 years old and Missy is 2 years old.A mixed pomerarian dog named Toutou,shes 3 1/2 years old.2 fish named goldie and meemee.Goldie is a angel fanned goldfish 4 years old and meemee is a little one the same,1 year old. And lots of stray cats that somehow end up at my house to find a good home for them.Ta,Ta,I love animals.

I am a pet person and have rarely gone without an animal in my life. I have a boxer, Oz. He's a little over 2 years old and an overgrown puppy really. We rescued him from the SPCA in March 2006. He weighs 77 pounds and truly believes he's a lap dog. He's a nut and makes a point of making us laugh as often as possible. He's also incredibly protective.

I have one dog, well technically he's still a puppy. He's a genuine mutt. Some people would say he's a 'Heinz 57'. Others try to tell me what breed he is. I can see many breeds in him. He appears to have some border terrier, some dashound, some beagel and possibly some cat.

I have only one female dog now. My partner just gave a couple of dogs to the son of vice governor this morning. She cried afterward when her dogs away.

I have four cats: two females and two males. They are a lot of fun. Two are ong hairs and two are short hairs. They are very sweet.

The household currently has 28 cats & 3 dogs. The one roomie has 2 cats & a dog, the other roomie & I each claim a dog, but kind of share most of the rest of the cats. Some are definately her's & some are definately mine, but most of them don't care who's they are - just hand out the pets & keep the food bowl full!

i have 5 cats 2 finches 1 parakeet 6 cockatiels they each have their own personalities i can tell when they are happy the birds sing loudly and the cats are more friendly. they are all good pets and i enjoy their company alot my cats names are bootsieboy china they are brothers and sisters they are around 18 yrs old i have had them since they were babies they weigh 12 pounds each i admit they are a little overweight but they are healthy and will be with me until they cross rainbow bridge my other cats names are lily, zoe peanuts. they were strays i had to feed lily from a bottle for 2 weeks it was almost like having a baby many times during the night she sought comfort from me she lost her mother when she was little. so now today we are very close and she turned out to be a wonderful pet for the last 4 years my birds each are different but some of them have names and some dont we are all happy and very much enjoy each others company

the only pet that we have in our house is the goldfish hich is belong to my daughter. They would love to have a dog but our townhouse complex don't allow pet like cat or dog. Beside we told them also that they not big enough yet to take care of dog. So maybe in couple years from now, we'll get them a dog.

...Great thread! i really enjoyed reaeding about everyone's pets. ...There are three cats in our home. Fred is a tabby/ragdoll. Sachiko is a russian blue and Candy is a blue burmese. ...We recently lost our chocolate lab, Willie Wonka. He was 13 and had deteriorating vertabra from middle of his back to tail. ...We have had goldfish and teddybear hamsters, too. I babysit for an iquana. He is pretty cool. I do not enjoy feeding the camen. Their eyes scream, "Yumm! Finger snacks." ...Thanks for asking. Peace be with you. =(^;^)= Della

Right now I have 7 cats and 3 dogs. I'd love to have a bird some day but not right now. Their names are, cats first, Chopper, Daisy, Rascal, Gracie, Bobo, Music and Sammy. Dogs are Peanut, Hope and Faith. All are our indoor/outdoor babies, which ever they prefer at the moment.

I just want to clarify something here... do you throw the dogs in the washing machine when they get dirty, or the dog toys? Haha I have a four year old cat named Steve. He's a show cat I got from a friend of my mother, who does cat shows around the country. He's a really relaxed cat that likes to sit back (literally) and watch tv with me. He's also really really friendly, unlike most cats, and will walk over to you and sit on your lap.

I have 2 dogs: a 1 1/2 year old white labrador/husky mix who is my best companion and friend; and my little jack russel/beagle mix, dora adorable. She is 8 months old and tons of fun with a great personality. Shawnee, my white lab/husky is her best friend and he simply worships the ground she walks on! She is the queen of the roost and he follows her lead. What a marvelous team they are and what incredible pleasure I derive from their antics. sunnywaters

We have a rented/adopted/honorary dog. My neighbor has two dogs a cat and a ferret. I have three boys. They are pets enough on their own. We are thinking of getting a dog when they get a bit older. Well my neighbor lets us borrow her dog. She hangs out with us all day while my neighbor is at work and we take her home when my neighbor gets home from work. Whenever my boys are playing outside the dog figured out how to open the door on her own, so she goes out there with them. It is really cool.

I have a dog named Doudou.She is getting old so she is lazy,sleeps a lot.She is a love kid .when I go for a walk she always follow me.When I get back she likes to join my room ,does not like to stay in other room..

I have 2 dogs, a cat, 2 african dwarf frogs, and a betta fish. My dogs are a boxer and a min pin. The min pin thinks she's in charge..lol. My cat was an inside cat but he always wanted outside so now he just stays out. He doesn't even try to come in. I wanted an inside cat, but he loves to run around. I just recently got the frogs, I got them because they get along with the betta really well, and I got two because they like to have a buddy. Those are my pets! I want to get another dog after we move in about a month, but I'm not really sure what kind I want. I probably won't be too picky as I will be rescuing one from the local animal shelter. As long as he gets along with my babies, we'll be good!

I don't have pets but it's not that I don't like pets. It's just that, you know, what if they die? What would you do? I don't think I can handle it. But then, if I were to own a pet, I'd have fish--lots of fish.
