and tomorrow we are picking up a lionhead bunny

We used to have quite the spider collection, we had 2 boreal cobweb builders and a black widow. I am looking for another widow, but no luck yet.

[phatchristy]

I live with my family and three cats. I feel no 'need' for any other pets. Though I absolutely adore one cat that I saw at a show a while back, and when she's done with her show career I'm hoping to give her a home. I did at one time have budgies...in fact we had one that was something like 15 years old before he passed! However, DH accidentally broke part of our cage anyhow (it was an expensive one too) and I donated pretty much all of my bird supplies so I doubt we'll ever have birds again.

we have a fish

[Shahbazin]

For many years, I had a couple of horses, a score of Shetland sheep, 3 Angora goats, turkeys, ducks, geese, pheasants, chickens (over 200, generally), & up to 10 Anatolian Shepherd dogs (occasional lizards, fish, mice, etc).

Right now, we're down to one 5 year old Anatolian (my buddy, Ruh - I'm his co-breeder & owner handled him to his championship), my DH's almost 15 year old Staffy Bull type fellow (Pip), & 5 laying hens. Three goats & a sheep are kept at a friend's place; I visit a couple of times a year to shear them.

[pitbullrescuer]

We have a pet rat, a 15 yr. old yellow lab female from lab rescue (we have had her for about 6 yrs.). 9 yr. old GSD that we found on the side of the road and no one claimed at the shelter (we have had him for about 4 1/2 yrs.), 2 1/2 yr old blue nose blue pit bull that we have had for almost 1 yr. that we found neglected and chained with no shelter, food or water. We paid the "owner" $150 and spent another $300 to get her spayed, shots, flea/tick meds, treat her heartworms and buy her crate, collar, leash and so on. She had spent her whole life alone on that chain. She is now a super happy pitty and loves to be with people. She really loves kids. We also have 5 kittens that were dropped at another pit bull rescue that we took on since we didn't have room for more pits. (they were only supposed to stay with us a few weeks ; We have a 12 yr. old calico and she is getting old. Our last pet is our 16# tom cat named Mac who we rescued from our local shelter. He has 6 toes on each front paw and is very low key and likes our dogs! The calico was found by some friends and my dh took her and the another calico that was found with her in (the other calico died last year at age 17
So, we are suckers for unwanted animals. I swore I would never own a pit bull b/c they are dangerous. I now know that they are powerful dogs, but in my 2 years of rescue and dealing with them in general they are very loyal and sweet dogs who only want to be loved. Most of them are more goofy than anything else. I have never met one that I couldn't win over with a few dog treats. I have untangled several who had their chains so short that they couldn't even reach their water. Well, I now love the breed and hope that their bad rep can be turned around.

One female pug, Rio, who is a year and a half old. She's my baby! :0)

[happywife101]

We have 2 brittany spaniels (Jack and Jewel, over a year, siblings, which was a HUGE mistake)...4 cockatiels (Daisy, Robert, Big Bird, and Bert), 2 rats (Cutie and Missy) 2 cats (Mouse and Champ) and 5 goldfish, and 1 beta... I volunteer for a bird rescue, and had 2 foster cockatiels (Romeo and Little Man) that were adopted..but since I am pregnant, I am no longer fostering because I am overwhelmed with the pets I do have lol
