My parents had six at one time, but are now down to five. I guess be had a dozen temporarily because one of them had kittens, but they were given away. I personally only ever had two that I inherited from my grandma, but now I am down to one, myself.
kc definitely wins the animal thread and millie and I welcome her into our animal union.
The most animals I've owned at a single point were two dogs, one cat (my friend later adopted one of the dogs and I got another cat), two lovebirds, twenty-something different fish in a 50 gallon tank, five african diving frogs and three bettas. I was reeeeally close to getting a small pair of rabbits that needed a home but talked myself out of it.
Since then, I've downgraded to my dog, two cats and one betta. Except that uh, most of the fish died on my move to California, so that was an accidental downgrade :(
Sometimes I tell myself that I couldn't handle that many animals again, but I know it's a lie. I'd like to have two dogs when I finally settle down and own my own home and have a pair of smaller animals like buns or ferrets. Also a hedgehog. Gotta have a hedgehog.
I agree with Jon Stewart when he said, "I don't trust people who don't like animals." Amen, brother.
The most at one time was when I was still living with my parents.......2-3 Guineas, 13 peacocks, 3 cows, 15-20 chickens, 2 cats, 2 dogs, 3 cockatiels, 1 parrot, 1 iguana, and one pot bellied pig.
At one point there was a pet squirrel, and a pet flying squirrel. I count them as pets, as they were around for over a year, and became tame.
I have no pets currently.
My ex hates animals and flat-out refused to have any pets and that was my first major red flag in that relationship.Quote:

Jacksons' chameleons especially, but snakes and beardies were also fantastic and friendly. <3 Leopard geckos not so much; those guys are dicks.
As much as I love animals I know my limits. We had three dogs once. And they were great.
One dog, one cat, and one x, I think. The x stands for either hamster or rat. George the dog, Mini Minou the cat, Joseph the rat and Sweetie the hamster. Joseph was a dick. :mad2:
