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.
