I have 2 pets right now. I have a calico cat named coco who I have had for a while now. I know the name is catchy but she had it when I got her from a family in Crossville and I just left it alone. Just a few weeks ago I also adopted a pup. My pup is part taco bell dog, blue heeler, and scottish terrier. I know it sounds ugly but in fact she is cute. My pups name is little bit. I did name her she had been called baby but did not answer to it to well so I thought what the heck we will give her a new name. At the moment these are the only pets that I have in my family but just the other day my 5 year old son mentioned he would kind of like to have a hamster. The kicker to the hamster he wants a rainbow colored hamster! Just where in the heck do I find that "color" ? I probably shouldn't add a hamster to the mix anyway. Present my cat chases my dog the hamster would probably be mean enough to chase my cat! I tell you I live in a backwards mad house but I do love every minute of the entertainment that cat and pup provides.

The visual I have on your dog is incredible! I wish I could see a picture! Adding a hamster, though a rainbow color would be hard, but you could get a calico color, wouldn't be that hard with your cat. When they have those awesome cages, they are so happy. I used to have pet rats, and my cats never bothered them at all! Your home sounds interesting!

LOL I can only imagine how you are picturing the little dog. Probably about like I did when my cousin's wife was telling me about it: an ugly little mutt LOL. I am not sure about my cat with a matching hamster. She is pretty unruly with other pets. LOL as I said she chases the dog and I would half expect the hamster to chase her LOL. My house by far is an interesting one and when you throw in a 5 year old you just really never know what is going to happen from one minute to the next. It can get pretty wild!

Why is it that our husbands tend to keep us controlled when it comes to pets?? Mine is the same way! Hope your husband is well. Thank him for me! And thank you for all you do as well.

7 pets total 4 Cockatiels Sweetpea Newbaby Little Grey Peepers 2 Parakeets Muppet Poopsie 1 Lovebird Tiki They are all close in one way or another. Sweetpea and Newbaby are a couple and Litte Grey is their baby. They've actually had lots of babies over the years, but she's the only one we kept permanently. Peepers and Tiki are an interracial gay couple. They're happy and we don't judge them. They want babies too and they've even made a nest. Sadly, it just isn't going to happen. Muppet and Poopsie are what we call the Peepers Fan Club. They follow him around, try to kiss him, and sometimes try to ride his tail. Tiki does not enjoy the competition and chases them away a lot.

Yeah, African Greys are fun, but vocal. I had a friend with one. It would imitate the neighbors dog barking... only the African Grey was better, and louder. We didn't get an African Grey because they seem to bond to one person or gender. Most of the Greys we've seen like me and are nasty to my wife. They are also devious in letting someone pet them and then biting. I'm glad my cockatiels and parakeets are simple birds, who only learn non-offensive words.

Yes, they do bond with who ever raised them. My husband hand fed it as a newborn. And the fact that she is female doesn't help. We hear that female birds don't like females, and vice versa.

I would love to have a sweet little bird, perhaps a dove, that made the most beautiful sounds. Our African Grey says the F word mostly. And calls me a F'in B.!! Very embarrassing depending on the company! She hates me.

I have 2 if you only count the 4 legged kind. 2 kitties well they would be cats now. Marshmellow, kindly refered to as marshie-mooo and Gothick Prince, he was a kitty we saved that now weighs 20 pounds from being a tiny guy when we got him. He was extreemly sick when I got him. I will have many animals in about 2 years, opening a working farm in Wiss...Oh joy. Ainge

Too funny. Yeah he is a big one, but when I got him he barely fit in my hands and was very afraid. He was the runt. I do have a photo of him on here. He is an all black kitty. He is a solid 20 pds, not fat. That is Marsheemoo, but we try not to give her a complex, she is a cat after all. Prince is about 3 now and should level out I hope. The farm, I grew up on one, lot of work but you determine the animals feed. I used to raise Rabbits too. Had a big Californian breeder till someone killed him. It is called jealousy of another farmer. In Colorado, farms are war sometimes. Maybe you will have to visit. Ainge

I got 1 dog - Koikoi 4 marine aquarium fish - Dugong (a dogface pufferfish), Tuko (a lizardfish), Nim (an African clownfish which is Nemo's cousin) and a surgeonfish which has no name yet, and 22 african lovebirds (8 pairs and 6 young chicks). I was able to name two of the pairs, Chi and Cha (who are my first birds) and Waray (a feisty female) and Andoy (a submissive husband). I named one of the youngster Tisoy because of his dominant white color.

I'm presently without a pet. I moved out of my parent's place 6 months ago and just can't afford to pay for anyone more than me!

They are expensive! Maybe a fish as the last responder mentioned? They are cool to watch and become mesmerized by! You can get one, just a nice vase and throw ONE beta in it!
