Right now our house has four dogs and three cats. I've had two pet rats before when I was on my own, not at the same time.
What Kind of Other Pets Do You Have?

I don't have anything at the moment, but eventually I want to have a German Shorthaired Pointer and raise lots of ducks.
As a youngster I had turtles, goldfish and a small black carp called a moore, various hamsters, short-lived
parakeets. A childhood cat, supposedly my sister's or mom's, really imprinted on me for later years. I grew
up with an amazing heroic springer-cocker dog, George, who swam in the Des Plaines river through the ice --
insisted on it. Many yarns about him. As a widower, I had a zen-master ASPCA Abyssinian-type orange tabby,
next to the most brilliant creature human or animal I've known, my guru. Now two Maine-coon type rescues
and a black and white shorthair female -- she's the tyro. Unless you live in a hot climate, Maine coon cats
are the most sociable companionable animals, like a really companionable dog, but a little more independent.

It seems that ever unaverage pet we had arrived cold. ni fur or feathers. took 20 days for

Thought it was dead because it was cold. went back in the morning to see if was still there,
was breathing. she livid for 4 years in the house till let loose. no fur pink as a rat.
fed every 3hrs with dropper.
Tweety bird was hanging down from a branch . nest tore up. Club footed. 27 days for eyes to open
Feed same. Mushed parrot food up. gullet change colors every feeding. A red bird-Cardinal.
He passed away 2 weeks before he was 6 years old. Eat anything that he say me eating.

Like Hunter, we have several horses in addition to our three dogs. Our dogs are a 4 year old female Cairn Terrier (Maxine), a 3 year old female Chocolate Lab (Hershey), and a 6 month old male Shiba Inu pup (Shoji). They are all great pals, and they are loads of fun!
Our herd of horses consists of my 23 year old quarter horse gelding (Gunner), my 11 year old palomino quarter horse gelding (Samson), and my favorite which is n 11 year old paint gelding (Dillon). My wife has 3 Friesians (1 female and 2 males). I just broke the 4 year old male for her. I previously broke the female several years ago when she was 3. The other male is the son of our mare. He is only two, and you shouldn't ride Friesians until they are at least 3. He will just be a hay burner until next summer!

Well, if we include all animals and not just house pets, I've got 6 dogs (2 hunting, 2 protection, and 2 useless), 8 cats (4 mousers/barn cats and 4 house cats),, 4 horses with 2 on the way (4 QH, 1 Spotted Saddle, 1 Halflinger), and herd of about 18 dairy goats, a half dozen Angora goats, a few Turkeys, some quail, a bunch of ducks, and more chickens than I can count consisting primarily of various Orpingtons (buff, splash, blue), Speckled Sussex, Nankins, Barred Rocks, partridge rocks, Silkies, and various Cochins. Oh, and one PIA pot-bellied pig.
