What pets do you own?

[BeAuTiFuLbaBiEs]

Just thought I'd start a thread to see what kind of pets everyone has. I'm a true animal lover so we have quite a menagerie! We have 3 dogs (11yo Boxer named Spooky, 6mos old Boxer named Hope, and 5mos old hound mix named Lily). We also have 2 kittens (Liam and the 2nd isn't named yet), 2 goldfish (named Last Time & No More..don't ask lol!), 1 guinea pig (Harry), and 1 horse (an older rescue Thoroughbred named Starbright).

We have 3 horses- Calhoun (gray mare), Zeke and Domingo (appaloosa geldings, both born and raised right here); a rescue paint pony named Taffy; four dogs- bloodhound (Nathan), basset (Big Mo), a rescue cocker (Oreo), and rat terrier (Tiny); two cats- Grey Kitty and Groucho; a multitude of gold fish in goldfish ponds outside (they are breeding this year so I am not sure how many there are at this point) ; two peacocks (one just wandered up one day so we got her a buddy), and numerous geese and ducks in the pond that come and go at will but always show up at feeding time.

And even though it is not a pet per se, we have an American bittern that has moved in. We enjoy sitting out on the back deck and watching him watch us late in the afternoons. He has gotten used to us and we can paddle our kayaks right under him and look at him. That's how I identified him. I feel sure that we are way more attached to him than he is to us, but we will be sad if he moves on.

We have an almost 9 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever named Duece. A 7 year old cat named Zoe and a 1 year old kitty I found in my pasture name Norman.

We have 4 dogs (a Great Dane-Mira, GSD/beagle x-Sierra, husky/collie x-Bailey, boxer/sheltie x-Kayla), 2 cats-Jackson & Kitty, 4 snakes (3 ball pythons-2 are morphs-Eve-Smoke & Lucy, and a columbian redtail boa-Reo), 2 gray tree frogs-Chubbs & Kermit, 1 toad-Stumpy, and a tropical fish tank. We are moving to 9 acres in the next few months and hope to expand to a few peacocks, goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks and hopefully horses in the next few years.

we have 2 dogs, black lab Daisy shes 1.5, Dusty (mix) shes 3, gecko,Maggie (I call her Maggie Moo) shes 6 yrs old LOL I just had to think about how old she is. Wow, hold long do geckos live? She was my sisters, then she gave her to ds b.c she couldnt keep up with her care. She may even be older than 6.
All 3 drove 2800 miles with us across country.

Oh LOL and our dogs are black and white , when they are snuggled together sleeping they look like a peace sign

We have one dog (mini dachshund, 10 mos) and 3 fish.

I would have more dogs if we had a house. But for now we are in an apartment so one little dog is plenty. Plus dh is not a dog person and is just now getting used to and bonding with our puppy.

Growing up we had 2 dogs, 3 cats, a rabbit, guinea pig and hamsters.

[Whimsical]

Well right now, we have two dogs (one golden retriever mix and one black lab mix), two cats, two gerbils, and a hamster. We've had a ton of animals in the past, mostly small. Mice, other gerbils and hamsters, fish, guinea pigs, a jird. I'm mainly a cat person, but I'm a sucker for cute animal faces.

[HRC121799]

Currently have 3 cats & a dog (brittany/springer mix).

In the past we have had 4 cats, 2 hamsters, sometimes fish.

[kblackstone444]

Right now? Only five- two dogs, a gecko an aquatic frog and a hermit crab. In the past, we've had another dog, a cat, 5 more hermit crabs, 6 beta fish, a guinea pig, 2 gerbils, 9 hamsters and 5 mice. And two foster dogs. The foster dogs got new homes, of course, the guinea pig died of some guinea pig disease, the cat had to be rehomed (she's so much happier now)and our third dog we "put to sleep" because of illness (rest in peace, Shayna), but all the rest, we cared for from start to finish- they died of old age. Someday, I'd like to have more, especially more dogs, maybe another lizard, and if we ever come into money and have the room, I've always wanted a horse or pony.

2 10-year old male Siamese cats (one of whom is puking as I type) and 2 age-unknown lady mice. That's plenty of pets for me and 2 too many for my DH!

[3boobykins]

Wow, some of you have lots of critters--must be fun! We have an approximately 2 year old Maine Coon mix kitty--he's a big boy at 17-18 lbs, and three boy rats, Apollo, Hercules, and Yoda, whom we've had just three weeks. They're probably about 2 months old.

I don't own anything or anyone. But my one darling dog enjoys sharing her life and space with me. She was born via a $2000 c-section on my former dog. She has been to the vet twice, once for a cherry eye and once because the person watching her when I was on vacation let her out and she got mauled by their neighbors lab and poodle! I joke that her breed is a money pit instead of a pit bull because she keeps costing so much in vet bills I can afford.

[bluey]

We reside with our 2 cats - Samwise & Sasha (both 11), as well as our dog Ozzy..the prince of darkness (age 2). Oldest dd is angling for a gecko or a hamster at some point in the near future, so we'll probably be expanding on our family.

My cousin has a cat that she rescued from beside the road. He needed a ton of vet visits to get healthy so she named him Dollar, and he has continued to live up to his name. He is always getting into trouble and having to go to the vet. He must be worth about $5k by now.

Yeah, I can relate to this! After what we went through over the last year with our cat that died in June, that "Free Kitten" or "$90 from the Humane Society" kitten doesn't look so inexpensive! After spending nearly $3,500+ over the course of 9 months just on vet costs, yeah. Dollar is a cute name for that kitty,lol.

We have a boxer mix puppy who is around 1yr old. His name is Dash.
Last week we rescued a kitten in our yard. We decided to keep him and named him Linus. He is an orange tabby and probably the sweetest kitten I have ever met .

I think these two will be it for a while

Our house has become a senior dog retirement home.

We have two whippets, one is 12.5 yrs, the other 11.5 yrs. We also have a semi-permanent visitor, a dachshund, who is over 15 years old.

DH was always nervous around dogs before but he has totally fallen in love with the whippets.
