I love pets. I used to take care dogs, a pair of love birds, a turtle and a Flowerhorn fish. It is in fact a lot of hard work to maintain a lot of pets. The cost of food and grooming is also expensive. Well, now I still take care of dogs and in time I would love to take care of another Flowerhorn fish. How about you, how many pets do you own?

You know I've seen in Animal Planet that a gold fish can be trained. Really cute. They can be trained to play football and go inside a hoop.

I only have one dog. I would want to get another one, but for now I live in an apartment so I don't think we have enough room. But maybe at some point in the future! Fingers crossed!

We are back up to four now. When we moved into our house a little over a year ago, we went as low as two dogs, my hound dog Michela and my daughter's Corgi mix Jasmine. However, our family has grown a lot this year. In February we adopted our first cat, Cornbread, a stray that my daughter found the day before a major snow storm and three weeks ago we adopted Buttercup, a now ten week old tabby cat from our neighbor. We love pets in our home as well.

I own only one. A cat. A female young cat. We owned them to get rid of the rodents and other pests in our house. Since the cat is still young, she is not yet able to hunt for rats and mice in our house, but good in hunting smaller insects. Maybe when she grow older and bigger, she will also upgrade her hunting skills.

At the moment I have two cats, two kittens, 2 betta fish, and four frogs. That may change as one of the kittens spends part of every day trying to eat the frogs! Of course I keep them separated but she is very determined.

I also love animals. I've owned a few dogs before and took in some stray cats. Right now, I own a 3-year-old cat, a 12-year-old turtle, and a school of fish. I can't take care of them right now since I'm working far away, and so my mom is taking care of them, but I still see them every once and a while. They need a lot of love and careful attention so that they can live long, and they have lived long enough to see my daughter grow up. I love them and they are already a part of my family. I would love to have more pets in the future.

Pets outnumber the people in my house. We love eah pet thar we have with all of our hearts. We have 4 cats and one dog. It may be an added burden or expense to care for a pet, but the sacrifice is worth it all. Your pets know that you love them and reurn the affection.

As of now I have 3 dogs all mixed breed (1 JRT mix and malshih).Yes if you are a really loving owner you would provide the best care for your pets and it could be quite costly. Vet clinics nowadays are getting more and more expensive. Especially if the vet is the only one in your place. Their prices could go up. When I was a kid we were like a zoo lol ... we had 12 turkeys, 2 pairs of parrot, an aquarium of goldfishes, 150 chickens. 10 pigs and a turtle and occasionally we would have pigeons too oh plus 2 dogs lol. But those were the days.

At this time I only have one dog named Cody, he is a shih tzu. He just turned 12 years old two weeks ago. We use to have a bunch of fish and also a two different birds. One was a Macaw named Joey and the other one I can't remember the type of bird it was. It was beautiful. It was all black with a yellow and orange beak and it was named Shadow. I gave Joey to my brother but then he gave it to a friend. As for Shadow he is with my boyfriends parents in Puerto Rico. When I move there GOD WILLING in September I will see him again.

We have 2 (brother and sister) mix lab we adopted from the local animal shelter about a year and a half ago, after we got them a German Shepard dog adopted us. He was a neighbor dog whos owner did not take very good care of him, showed up one day when my husband was working inthe yard, and has pretty much stayed every since. He would go back and forth to his other *owner* but they moved so now he stays with us. We also just recently adopted a kitten from the SPCA after we lost our cat. They all gt along great together so thats a good thing. LOL

I have three cats and a turtle (not a sea one, a land one, is still turtle their names? Lol, in the middle of the night I seem to forget English words). My three cats are still young, I have a male and a female that are 1 year and a couple of months old, and their little 3 months old son, which is really cute. My female kitty gave birth to five kittens, but I gave to my friends four of them. The fifth didn't find a owner even if he's so cute, and of course I kept him with us. My turtle is one year older than me, so 24, lol. She will live longer than me, I'm sure. :)

I only own one pet right now and that is a Labrador Retriever. Her name is Lizzy! She is 3 years old now and she is still more playful than ever. I prefer dogs as pets.
