How many pets are you own?
i have three, one dog ,one cat and one bird,how about u ?

One rabbit, two hamsters. I have a thing for little critters.
Oh, and I'm hardly their owner. More like their protector.

At one point, I had 6 horses, 3 dogs, 5 cats, and a rabbit.

Now I have 1 dog and 3 cats. It's a little empty-feeling.

1 dog and 3 aquariums

2 cats.

Own? Technically one.
We have his and hers puppies.

Butch. He's a rock.

Just one little dog. Best dog ever.

The best dog ever. Today, he fell asleep in my rocking chair with one ear on the armrest and it was the most amazing thing ever.

One cat. His face is my avatar

I am owned by three cats. 50 lbs of feline lovin' that runs around the house like a herd of elephants. These are my Thundercats.

Zero, I prefer to see animals in their native environments and let them live there. I also don't have time to deal with a pet, or take it someplace when I travel.

Two kids. Human, not goats.

I've got a girlfriend, a cat, a fish and like two dozen children that were all born sometime during the late '70s.

Is that like figuratively speaking? Like, scraped up all your mishaps from the floor and knit a one-sie for them?

I was being serious but your answer is more fun.

Mammals wise: my max was a rescued greyhound, rescued cat, and fostering 3 rescued parrots.

The greyhound passed and I found homes for the 3 parrots. Now, I'm down to the 17-year-old step cat (came with the wife). She's a cranky old broad with high blood pressure, arthritis, and diabetes. The cat, not the wife.

The wife and I have 2 cats, a "plucky" African Grey (Elaphe's while he's doing his RCMP thing), 2 Pacific Parrotlettes and a toad that I found at a client's window well. Not sure how it got there as there's no woodlands nearby o.O. 55gal FW planted community, SW fish and coral in a series of RubberMaid containers until I get around to building a 500gal system...renovating the house for the wife's needs/wants and upcoming ankle biters...LOL! Going to get a Bull Mastiff next year and French Bulldog the year after. Hmmm...me thinks the 500gal will be awhile...FAHQUE!

Critters that we've had:
Henkel's leaf tail gecko, Harlequin Lories, finches (Star, Cordon Bleu, Lady Gouldian, etc), blue front amazon, double yellow amazon, Goffin's cockatoo (RIP), chameleons (Nose Be Jackson's, Flapneck, Meller's), iguana, leopard geckos, African fat tail gecko, turtles (RES, Mississipi Maps, Diamond Back, 3-line musks), tortoises, (redfoot, Burmese and Indian star colony back in NT-HK rescued from a food market and villages near my mothers')...that's all I can think of.

We had a cat a her kittens. The cat, instead of brining us birds or rodents that most cats would hunt, she'd bring socks and rice krispy treat wrapers. The kittens were mean little creatures, hissing and clawing at your shoes before running off. They are actual stray cats that my roommate fed one day, and the cats have been coming to our door store ever since.

Last Monday, they were sent to a shelter, so now we're left with two finches in a cage. That act up when ever I fry chicken on the store. I wonder why...

Well, three that I pay enormous vet bills to maintain in their ecstatic state of felinery. Shall I include the cow and three calves that have been wondering over for the past two weeks? They are quite entertaining even in their destructive state. My, how life changes when you look away for just a minute.

I have just one cat. I am glad to have his company when the children are at their father's house.

I have one crazy little puppy dog.

This is the least amount of animals I've had around me in ten years or so. Our next two pets will be kitty cats. A Corgi is apparently in the future as well, and I'd eventually like a goat. :)

I wouldn't mind having a goat. Probably more reliable at mowing the back field than the kids.
We have one old golden retriever, and a bunch of wild birds at my bird feeders. Oh, and several neighbor cats that keep invading, mostly because of the bird feeders.

two old tabby cats, Eleanor Beatrix Hannibal James and Mr Smitty the one eyed rocking on limping kitty.

One 14 year old newfoundland female dog named Story.

And as soon as possible. a horse

Currently, we own zero pets. However, I have been informed that when we no longer live with our roomie (who has two cats) we will be adopting Moo Shu the Attack Cat from my parents. I would also like to get a English Terrier, I figure if a dog needs to be raised around cats to learn to deal with them, this is the cat for the job.

I've a female cat and a brother/sister ferret pair. My cat still regards them with a measure of suspicion mingled with curiousity, while my ferrets are pretty much fearless little shit machines (as in, you know, they shit. A lot. I just cleaned their cage for the 3rd time today).

Here they are:

A boerbul and a hamster.

We have two young cats- one small tortoise shell named Sasha and a big ginger tabby named Peanut.

I had to put down my dog of 13 years on the 1st of July. The cancer finally got to where he could barely walk... He was a wonderful German Shepherd/Chow mix~ mostly golden Shepherd. :(

2 snakes.

well, i used to own a dog and a bunny rabbit, but not anymore

Technically I have thousands of pets, haha. And by that I'm referring to the reef tank in my living room.

But also one dog and one cat, both rescues, both mutts.

I serve one cat. Nobody owns cats. :)

Eleanor Beatrix Hannibal James, I just call her "Catface" shes a good kitty

Bingo.

Did the snakes eat them?

A cricket named Emmit that seems to have moved in behind my tv sometime about a year and a half ago and has yet to leave. He always says good morning and chirps away when I get home yet doesn't apparently have any need to eat as he NEVER leaves. So YAY me I have an easy to manage, low maintenance pet!

Me and the pups:

This picture is awesome. It looks like it just wrestled a bear and won.

My two old cats, including my feisty Fuzz Bucket, trained my parents' dog so well that he has some distinctly cat-like behaviors. When my parents had our cats, Ruff and Tumble, Jack acted like their nanny, barking at them when they clawed furniture, knocked over their water dish, or did something they weren't supposed to. He'd go and get my mom and show her what the two kitties had done or gotten into. He came down to visit this last weekend, and Ruff and Tumble nuzzled his face like they'd missed him. It was sooo cute!

I've had to tackle my 3yr old Newf to prevent her from going after the local bear. However, she walks wide circles around my daughter's cat when we cat-sit.

Two dogs... Bandit and Bo. Both p[pound puppy mutts.

I have one pet.

Ebony and ivory colored Rat Terrier named Kiwi.

Shes a great companion/play mate.

:)

Currently have none, but I would really love to get one. I want a German Shepherd/Black Lab mix, but because I can't handle the responsibility of a dog I want to get a Russian Blue cat. Unfortunately my roommates said they would rather have babies than a cat.

looking good :). How do you like the Vortec powerhead? MP10 or 20?

Thanks, I just need the money to fill it! I'll bring home the second fish, an ORA target mandarin this weekend. I love the vortech, best powerhead ever. And that's an mp10. I'm saving up for a second one so I can even out the flow though.

Best way to stock on a budget is to find a local aquarium club and get frags. They maybe small at first but will grow quickly on a well maintained and fed system ;).

Mandarins can be tricky, even ORA captive bred ones, IME. If you are getting them from a store, make sure that they are actually keeping the regimen of feeding prepared diets and look for full bellies..."TIP"...look from the underside.

Get as large as you can. In a system as small as yours, they will decimate the "pod" population. Although the ORA are fed w/commercially prepared foods (chopped PE Mysis, frozen Cylcopeze, New Life Spectrum Grow 0.5mm pellets, Golden Pearls 800-1000micron) it's best that you get a little breeding trap and reinforce training to commercial foods and hand feeding w/a pipette/eyedropper.

To get it feeding on the dry foods, soak it with thawing frozen food so the liquid portion (and scent) in absorbed by the flake/pellet. Then over time once it's accepting the soaked food, add unsoaked food and reduce the amount of soaked. Once you notice that it feeds w/o issues, then release into the main display.

Yeah, it's a bit of work but well worth it to keep these little jems. I haven seen this color variant in 10 years, but there were orange/peach faced mandarins.

Sadly none, got a pair of dogs and a pair of cats staying with the folks, I consider them mine but Mama takes care of them. The Girl has a dog that will lick and bound his way into my life once she moves out to where I am, long distance is a pain though.

Thanks for the advice, although it was kind of a 'word to the wise' as they would say. :)

I've been a member of our local club for years and the Mandarin feeding thing has been worked out. I'm currently retraining him to eat out of a jar but other than that he's doing well. His slow ass never seems to get all his food before the hermits do. Luckily, it's a small display and he knows which corner to go to. I even think he's learned how to beg.

I have 60 rats, 6 prairie dogs, a great dane, and a pomeranian.

We have two cats, black and white, both girls, almost two years. They were operated and roam freely outside as we live in the countryside. They usually stay nights inside though.

The black one was found by a friend, it was always very alert and didn't allow much touching. These days it even sleeps in our bed, it has become more trusting.

It looks pretty neat, when they wrestle, like yin and yang. :D

I have one dog, he is a bit crazy.

I have two cats, a dog, and two kids. oh! and a husband. lol

I have 2 St. Bernards and a little Yorkie mix....

8 dogs
150 gallon aquarium with..um...lots of fish:

I have one kitten. My last cat died on Halloween of old age

Kitten food is so boring. I think I'll have some tortilla chips for a change.

Then I'll have some salsa to go with the chips.
http://www.pbase.com/dwootton/image/...4/original.jpg

Wow. That salsa was pretty spicy. Maybe I'll just stick to kitten food.

3 cats, 1 dog, and 1 soon to be bird.

Sometimes though, I wish I didn't own any pets. They tie you down and its so so sad when they die :(
