Pets

Not on my own. When I was a kid we had a Pug. When I was a young adult living at home my mom took in a feral kitten that turned into a nice cat.

When my sister was around 10 years old she had a mouse, which I recently asked her about. She said it turned out to have been pregnant when it was purchased and ate its babies under my sister's ownership. I had no memory of this even though my sister was completely distraught at the time, she says. What a horrible and sad thing for a kid to go through.

I’ll list pets in the past 15 years since that is about when my kids have helped otherwise we would have never had most of these animals.
Pets included dogs, cats, goats, ducks, turkey, chickens, fish, pigeons, a horse, and a snake.

I also had a parakeet and my mother also allowed him to escape, never to be seen again!

My partner and I adopted a cat four years ago. He was found half dead having been hit by a car but survived his surgery - even though his heart stopped for a while - and is now thriving, your typical lazy, greedy but very affectionate old boy.

When I was younger I had gerbils, fish, a rabbit... I have always been obsessed with animals.

Yes, lots of dogs and cats. I have an sign in my front yard that is only visible to stray cats that says - "Stop here - she will take care of you."

Growing up I had some dogs, cats, a hamster, gerbil and an iguana, but in my adult years it's been nothing but doggies.
