A pleasant day fellow mylotters, My kids were very excited when we received the new puppy. Wherein, they even volunteer to prepare the food for the puppy. And to their excitement, they told me that they will be the one to bath the puppy on the next day. Now, we already have four (4) dogs at home including the new one. And since the puppy is still small, my kids ask my permission to allow them to take care of the puppy while it is still small. How about you, do you have a pet at your home? How many pets do you have? How many dogs and how many cats?

I have one pet , a cat. Very sweet and very lovely. I have named her "Jewel", because she is like a jewel of the house. A bit naughty though ! She would just run all over the house, jumping from place to place. Very hard to catch. The only way to catch her is by offering her the favorite canned fish. Oh, she would just jump down from any where when she hears the sound of can opening !

I have only one fish at my aquarium, well that fish isn't actually domestic animal, I caught it in a lake. It's pretty nice to have a fish, it can relax your thaughts and free your mind. I had other fish last year, it grew pretty fast, but once I forgot to close the aquarium and it jumped out =(...FINITA LA COMMEDIA. Now I always close it.

There are many pets in my home. We have a dog, a cat, a guinea pig and 6 rabbits. The rabbits were our first pets and we have had them for a couple of years. My mother-in-law has been taking of them while while we were travelling, and today my husband will pick them up. I really look forward to seeing them again, the living room is so empty without the rabbits, and I missed them. Our guinea pig is still at my parents', but we will pick her up this week. We got our cat from a shelter a year and a half ago. At first she was very scared and she always tried to hide, but now she has become used to her new home and she is a wonderful cat. Our dog is golden retriever. He is one year old and he has lots of energy, he is a very active dog.

I'm not used to have pets at home. I got allergy with fleece. But whenever I see cute puppies, I love to and wish that I could have them in the house. If I would be able to have pets, for sure it would be puppies, and birds.

Hi airasheila! We also have pets at home. We have 1 cat and 1 dog. The good thing is they can get along with each other. Sometimes, they even play with each other. There was a time, where my cat was fighting a visitor cat (he was about to be defeated), what our dog did is he barked really hard to frighten the visitor cat and to call our attention as well.

Hi Airasheila!. I only got one dog at home because my house is not to big. I really want to add more pet but I think I need to wait until we got a bigger house. Its really enjoying to dog and I think no one can loves as unconditionally as dog as long you feed them regularly.

Pets are good source of entertainment if rear corr - Pets are nice if taken care properly and if there is not abusive
Current there is a mongrel in the garden,1 burmese albino python,1 egpyt rock python,30s white mouse and few rabbits. Actually the rabbits and white mouse is food source for the pythons.IT is much cheaper tor rear them then to buy from the pet shops.Mouse and rabbit are easy to rear and easily breed with mininum care.While the pythons are docile pets if handle with care and no abusive.While the mongrel is guard the house and bark at strangers.

We have seven (7) dogs at home, they're so lovely though it's a little tiring to feed and bath them everyday but it made us feel complete and happy. We treat them like little kids and pamper them all the time. Wish we could be with them forever.

I only have fish right now. My kids are in the learning stages of pets and we only have a small 1 bedroom apartment so anything larger would be unfair for the animal itself. I like birds since I had them when I was younger, my husband had a dog. My eldest son wants a dog and my youngest wants a cat and a hamster. If they had their way, they'd fill my house with animals. But for now, they need to start learning how to take care of their fish.
