so how many have you got then?

[Titania]

1 noisy German Shepherd bitch called Jess and 1 very serene goldfish called Billy. My dh won the fish at a fairground a few months after we got together - it's his tenth birthday soon (fish not dh!!).

Our house is a magnet for wild animals and we often have weird and wonderful visitors. In our living room we have had:

1 pipistrel bat
1 young rook
1 slow worm (a type of legless lizard)
1 wood mouse (very cute )
and I've lost count of how many baby frogs!
Plus the whole house is full of butterflies in the summer, in fact we have named it Butterfly Cottage.

Must be built on some sort of animal ley lines!!

2 Cats, 2 Tortoises, and the ashes of my old cat. I can't move and leave him behind so I don't scatter the ashes, I'm determined not to become so attached to the others!

we have one cat. Plan on getting dd a pet next year when she's 3 hamster would have no chance with our cat. More likely to be a guinea pig or rabbit.

When I was growing up I had
two white mice
seven gerbils
two guinea pigs and two rabbits
a dog
three cats
a horse
two calfs
two goats
a duck and six hens
etc etc etc

Now I have nothing. Not even a sea monkey. Pets are messy and hard work. I already have a child and I have that area of my life covered.

3 cats, all from rescue home. They are our children and we take endless pictures of them and talk to people about them in a proud parent kind of way. Not sure how they will feel when real baby comes along in November though..
