in order of priority!
1, A dog
2, 2 horses
3, 5 tortoises
4, 2 rabbits
5, 3 indian runners (ducks that stand upright)
6, 2 guinea pigs
7, 10 goldfish (outside in a small well mock up)

Glad to see someone else has guinea pigs. Love the little guys. I currently only have one, but he's a sweety.

The coolest thing about the guinea pigs I've had is that they are much smarter than people think. He's very good at communicating when he wants or needs something (he'll rattle the water bottle around when I walk in if he's out of water), and I've taught all of my guinea pigs how to shake hands (well, put their little paw on my finger tip). He even went as far as to actively try shaking hands when he wants fresh veggies. Plus, they are fairly low maintenence.

How do you get PGBY :confused: :p

We have two dogs (yellow lab Colby from a breeder, black lab Pepper that we adopted) and a Betta (Baby, that we inherited from a friend).

Lol... now my wife wants a goat.
A friend of mine, whose family lived out in the country a bit, had a goat. I'm not sure how good of a pet a goat would make, but they are really funny animals!

Very sorry to hear about your cat. We've had our cat Oscar for a little over ten years, and raised him from a kitten. You can't help but get attached to the little guys (or gals).

I have three cats: Boo (AKA: Boofus), Roofus (AKA Roo) <--- Those are the top two pictures...
Your cat Roo looks just like our cat Oscar, who for reasons I won't go into has acquired the nickname "Loo". ;)

I used to have sea monkeys as pets. Unfortunately to my dismay, they don't look anything like monkeys. :(

As I recall from my childhood Sea Monkeys experiences, they don't tolerate overfeeding all that well, either. ;)

We used to have a guinea pig as kids but it failed a sobriety test. :(

Well, my family has a cat, but I don't have a pet with me at grad school - though I wish I had a cat. Problem is that I wouldn't be able to take a cat (or any other pet) home on vacations and stuff - our family cat is too territorial.

i have a cat called pudding she (or should i now say it) is a british blue shorthair and as she is a pedigree cat she get a proper name of starburst plum pudding. she is called pudding as she was the largest of the litter (and she is still pretty fat) she will dwarf most small dogs!

I have a beautiful short-haired gray cat named Papillon ("Papi"), after the Charriere novel. He runs the household. He's a spoiled brat who always begs for food, especially hummus. :)
