    One retired Border Patrol Officer, a Schutzhund-trained (protection and search) German Shepherd, originally from Czechoslovakia. It is very interesting when certain cars go by as she was also used to find drugs. She is perfect since my husband travels for work so much.

    One indoor American Shorthair Cat, whom I love dearly but has made me determined to never have another indoor cat. He thinks he owns me and is jealous of everyone else, even tried to get between my daughter and me when she was breastfeeding!

    One very sweet, long hair Syrian Hamster with the most interesting makings that we call him Poofy Dan the Mystery Man.

    We have 1 dog currently, but we have had 2 other dogs and chickens before. I really wish we didn't have any.

    Two reasonably large dogs. One appears to be a black lab/collie cross. The other is a complete mystery (we adopted him from the pound) but seems to have white shepherd and dalmation in there somewhere. Years ago, we installed an invisible fence around our yard, so they spend much of their time outside.

    We have one very old dog and a million flees. We had an uninvited rat until it died inside our walls. Boy, did that smell. We do have many pleasant birds outside and a family of deer that eat my flowers and fruit trees.

    I love the wild animals except the rat. Once the dog dies, I am done with pets. Just the thought of no dog hairs and dirty floors makes me giddy :lol:.

    We have 1 indoor dog, he's a pound puppy, half shih-tzu and half yorkie. He's the first small dog I've ever had and I love him to death. We've always had boxers, our last boxer was stolen almost a year ago:( We now have a cockatiel that my son got for christmas from his aunt, and I'm surprisingly taking a liking to her, we actually had 2 but last week one got out of the cage while we were at Walmart and our little dog killed him:( He was our favorite bird too, he actually liked us, the other bird still isn't crazy about us!!

    We have 2 horses, 2 barn cats, and 3 coon dogs that my husband and boys hunt with.

    we have a handful of cats/dogs but currenlty live at my parents due to our living in military housing and soon to live overseas. I love having my 'fur' babies and am already counting the days when we are back stateside and can have them all back again. Though I think they enjoy the peace and quiet of my parents house.:)

    currently we have:

    a 14 yr old highland herding dog, she is old and no longer works other than being the great protector and chore boss to me and the children when we are outside.

    2 indoor/outdoor Tom cats who recently got fixed and have become more inside than out here lately...lol

    5 hens and 1 rooster, we had another hen and another rooster but the coons got ahold of them and we found them out in our yard :(

    and we had 2 pigs, but they have been introduced to our freezer...they weren't pets though, they were raised for that purpose

    and the kids are buggin for a boxer...lol

    and we would like to have a few goats :)

    We have 2 Catahoula Leopard Dogs. They were inside dogs until we moved here a year ago and I decided that I was tired of cleaning hair. We got a Betta fish this summer but, fish don't like peanut butter, or he liked it and had a nut allergy. either way, Pete isn't with us any longer. We just got a cat for Christmas. The kids named her Springy. She's a very very cool cat. orange striped, short hair, about 6 months old, and full of love, even for my 2 y/o who screams with delight every time she sees the cat.
