 Which animal is your very favorite one?

What pet/s do you have? what pet/s would you have as well, if you had the chance?

What animals are you scared of, if any? any particular reason?

>>> Which animal is your very favorite one?

Hmmmm...I guess dogs are. They are so loyal, friendly, fun loving, and caring.

>>> What pet/s do you have?

I have...

... 3 horses, and one on the way.
... 2 dogs (old Golden Retriever, young mixed hound)
... 7 cats
... 4 ducks

>>> what pet/s would you have as well, if you had the chance?

I've pretty much got what I want. If I had the time to do so I might want a couple of cows to raise for beef, but that wouldn't really be in the "pet" category!

>>> What animals are you scared of, if any? any particular reason?

While the first sight of a snake can startle me, I'm not scared of them. One does, however, have to be very careful around poisonous snakes. We have both rattlesnakes, copperheads, and water moccasins where I live, and their bites can potentially kill.

I have three cats and one fish!

I would like to also have at least 2 horses and about 20 goats. Oh and pigs and steers that would not be pets but raised for food purposes.

One thing I will never have is a bird (sorry sweetie I know you adore them), I just don't like the idea of birds in my house and I really hate chickens, ducks, geese and other farm yard birds.

Not even when they are not in a cage? and are free to fly around? :)
Anyway, don't you worry and send me over any bird that is given to you, I'll take care of him/her :).
Doesn't your fish feel a little lonely? will you by him/her a mate? :)

And Bettas are very pretty but don't like companionship! Well if I had a female betta I'd probably be overrun with baby bettas but two male bettas will rip each other to shreds.

And I'd be happy to give any birds that come my way to you! I like birds outside in tree's where they belong! LOL My aunt and uncle had a parakeet in their house and that thing chirped and cackled all day and all night. And they let it fly around and crap on everything! LOL Even in cages I don't want them. I prefer birds outside and looking at them through glass! LOL

He is in a small bowl (bettas can survive in quite small bowls because they don't get most of their oxygen from the water, they actually get it from 'breathing' at the surface.) HIs bowl sits on top of the entertainment center which is about 5 feet tall and he sits back about 6 inches, they don't even notice him most of the time and none of them can jump up there without an intermediary step to jump on.

He is pretty, about 2" long I guess. Heard he will get bigger if we get a bigger bowl? Not sure if that is true but I'm thinking of a giving him another gallon to play in (about 1/2 gallon now)

My very favorite animal is my dog Fred. He's a border collie cross, very smart, very cute, and totally neurotic. I spoil him rotten.

We have a koi pond in the yard with 2 koi, 2 catfish, and 3 tiny fish of type and origin unknown. My husband has a beta fish named Not Dead Yet. Our backyard seems to be the area sanctuary for squirrels, chipmunks, and birds. The squirrels and the birds will all be on the bird feeder at the same time.

I would love to have a chinchilla but I'm afraid it would never survive in our household. Chinchillas are quite delicate, and we're a clumsy family.

I like snakes and spiders a lot, but I like them in their natural habitat and not as pets. My husband and son are both arachnaphobes so I'm the one who captures the spiders and lets them loose outside.

I get along very well with animals such as dogs, cats, racoons, possums, stingrays, alligators, tigers, sharks, eels, sloths, deer, panthers, turtles, barracudas, hedgehogs, ferrets, tejones, monkeys, and I don't remember what else. My latest pet was cat, my first pet was a turtle, and I also had land crabs as pets when I was a kid.

When you show love to animals, they pretty much notice, and they tend to like you. Somehow, they can smell that you like them, just as they can smell when you fear them.

Two dogs, one Pom and one Chi. I cat from hell! One cockatiel. I think my plate is full with all of these guys. I wouldn't mind a fish or two. I don't like snakes or lizards.

5 cats and 3 rats, along with my father in law's dog, but dad in law is the one who takes care of him.

We hope to eventually add a horse, a few chickens, and a cougar.
