Sharing their life with me now consists of one very large fat horse named Bay. A very large fat dog named Daisy, a mid sized fat dog named Annabelle, A nervous sometimes insane Yorkie named Schatzie, a sweet little boy Yorkie named Ransom, oh and a very large fat cat named Kitty Brat.
Ummm, that makes 6....I had to use my fingers. LOL :D

We've always had a dog and the last several years we've had two dogs. And.....since we live on a farm you have to have cats but at the moment it seems like one cat is all that can survive. When we first moved here we had a lot of cats so we gave away a lot of them and the coyotes and fox have taken care of the rest. My daughter had a dozen mallard ducks in the spring to put on our pond but again the fox and coyotes have had a tasty lunch on all of them! We're not doing that one again!

Wow, Tink that's a lot of pets! Haha!
I think now is the most pets I've ever owned...I have a cat, a dog and a bird. (But I am in the process of finding a new home for the bird!)

Right now we have 1 lab who thinks shes a tiny yorkie, 2 drama queens "yorkies"
and 1 cockatiel.
The most we ever had was a boxer, our lab, the 2 drama queens, and the cockatiel, a few goldfish in my son's room that somehow just disappeared LOL and fish in the pond.

I have this really bad habit of showing my love with kibble. :o Are you hungry? LOL!!
LOL Sheryl, you're not alone.
My animals all tend to end up a bit rotund as well.
I'd never be able to have a greyhound or whippet, 'cause I'd feel I was being neglectful!

I've owned a horse in the past, and I hope to own them again.
Currently I own 1 dog, a chihuahua named tinky
and 1 cat named belle. technically though belle counts for 3-5 because she's due for kittens in a week or sooo! I will have to post a picture of her. she's huge! :)

I think right now is the most I've owned at the same time...3 female Yorkies....Emilee, Gidget and Fancy and one male Yorkie, Joey and my female Golden Retriever Penny. Boy to I love them bunches!!!
QR -Can we see pix of the pregnant cat, and of course the kittens when they come?
The most I've had has been 6 cats. My ex moved in with his 2 and I had 4. We lost 3
within a period of about a year. Some were pretty old.
I like 3 animals, maybe 4, and a combo of cats and dogs.

Seven guinea pigs, a tree frog, a Boston terrier and we're not sure if the two Madagascar hissing cockroaches were still alive at that time. Of course, if you want to count the ants in the ant farm a few years earlier as pets....

Do fish count for each individual fish? :D

Now that's a great idea, counting the fish! That could put my list through the roof. Who knew elephants liked to watch those tiny tetras as they circle the castle in the middle of the tank? No wonder they are always showing up at the National Aquarium in Baltimore!
Ever since hearing Bill Engvals bit on "Dorkfish" that's what I think of every time someone talks about fish. If you haven't seen it, you really need to. Obviously it makes a lasting impression. ROFLMBO
The video here is really poor quality, but it's still insanely funny.

When I was about 12 or 13 I had a dog and two "sister" gerbils. Well, one morning I woke up to the two "sisters" and 9 baby gerbils! So that was 11 pets in all :D

We had those pesky little sister gerbils, too! One of them was just cross-dressing! Who knew gerbils could be so clever? lol
