I voted 2 great cats, 7 dogs (4 are really cool, 2 are ancient and 1 jackass heeler) and SHEEP! I heart my sheep! Except for the ones we eat ;)!

2 cats & a goat. I look on our goat as a pet even though she doesn’t live in the house. When we had a dog she wasn’t allowed in the house either.

We have a three legged Hokkaido salamander. He’s five years old and about to die I think…

1 Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Once we’re in a larger place I’ll set up the aquarium, but with the age of the apartment the 40 gallon aquarium might break the floor…

Hi elelle, thanks for the wave and I am doing well. as the old saying goes “life goes on”, I became a grandfather a couple of months ago, wish deb/Ayesha were here to see her granddaughter,that was the one thing she wanted more than anything else in life. I try to spend as much time with little Lillian Marie as I can to try to makeup for fate shortchanging her by 1 grandmother. The rest of the my time is spent working,taking care on my feathered kids and learning how to be alive again.  
Hope life is treating you right.  
Peace  
LIONsob

We’ve got three cats, one bearded dragon, one 29-gallon planted aquarium with platies and a school of terribly fat black skirt tetras that incessantly follow the female platies around (the tetras keep our population of baby platies under control), a 10-gallon planted tank with a dwarf gourami and some black skirt tetras, a 2-gallon planted tank with Fabio the betta, an 8-gallon planted tank with three clown killifish, with hopefully more to come (they appeared to be exhibiting some mating behavior yesterday morning, yay!), and a 12-gallon saltwater with various corals, an algae blenny, and some form of goby named Gerald who peers out of a crack in the live rock and follows you with his eyes.
