How many total Cats or Dogs or both you had them?
WOW etex, sounds like my kinda place 'cept for maybe those wily coyotes.
Hi, I have 4 cockatiels, 10 goldfish, 1 african claw frog, and just added 6 banty chickens, I love them all. Course I have all the wild life in my yard that we feed. They are really fun to watch!!
Hi grammi~
Now I have 2 cats and 3 dogs and 2 puppies but soon one more puppy be home on July 8th, also has 6 quails plus wild birds to feed them from birdhouse. LOL
1 Pomeranian, 2 Newfoundlands (pommie bosses newfs around all the time!), 2 rats, 2 hamsters, 3 guinea pigs, 1 rabbit, 1 aquarium, 1 pond, 1 husband. Husband followed me home 12 years ago, I had to keep him! He is the highest maintenance pet by far, but I love him anyway.
I am new to this, and just beginning to get up the courage to post. At present we have 2 dogs: Daisy May, who came from a very, very rough neighborhood in Flint, MI. She had the impossible job of healing our hearts after we had to have our much loved, 12 year old dog put to sleep. Even the vet won't guess about her family. He said he "sees": German Shepard coloring, she herds us around the yard and while trying to walk; her feet are webbed like a lab, she uses her paws like a boxer, she's only 30 pounds and fast as lightning. She has adapted to being the pampered girl in our newly empty nest. Daisy is without a doubt the smartest dog we have ever had. She likes those stuffed, fleecy gingerbread men shaped, squeaky animals. Of course the first thing she does is pull out all the stuffing. She can tell the difference between: "Daisy, bring mom the fat man" and "Daisy, bring mom the flat man" Not bad for a little abandoned girl.
Still, with the kids all gone it was just too, too quiet so Gus came home with us. He came from the St. Bernard Rescue League. His mom was a full Saint but dad was just passing through. Looks to have been some sort of spaniel. Gus is the sweetest, gentlest guy on four feet. Daisy always looks slightly worried and Gus always looks slightly confused. She is 18 months and he is 5 months.
We also have Jaxx the Cat. The best $610 stray cat ever.
There is finally enough noise and chaos in the house to suit me--and now the kids are home for the summer. It is wonderful. Who needs clean and quiet?
5 WolfDogs, A Pomeranian, a Chow Chow, a Cat, 2 BlueJays, 1 Chicken and tons of different Fish. God only knows what else we'll get!
I am an animal junkie too! I couldn't begin to count what I have had in my lifetime but right now here's a count:
1Male Chihuahua
1Female Chihuahua
1 Australian Blue Heeler
1 Bob tail cat
12Singing Canaries
50 Zebra's Finches..last nest count, lol
12 Lady Gouldians Finch
40 White Fantail Pigeons
30 White Doves
12 Diamond Doves
2 Australian Shafttail Grassfinches
20 Society Finch
1 Blue English Parakeet
1 Blue Love Bird
1 Yellow Collared Mini Macaw
1 Scarlet Macaw
1 African Gray
1 Red eared Slider Turtle
10 Fantail Goldfish
Treefrog tank
3 kids and a very loving hubby.
Anybody guess my name without looking..lol
REALLY boring list here... 2 Chesapeake Bay Retriever/Lab mix sisters, Thelma and Louise and brother and sister black cats, Spooker and Boo...identical colorings. Then there are the resident geckos, lizards, cockroaches...OH, right - my favorite, Bob (DH). We HAD chickens but they pooped on the porch and didn't lay eggs so we gave them to the Hawaiian Imersion School where they live in the bush and provide school lunches.
A few mealies are trying to ingratiate themselves but I won't be swayed!!!
