How many different kinds of pets have you had?

I have had dogs, cats, horses and hamsters.

Yes, one day my husband decides he wants a pair of hamsters

! I don't know what he thought he had, two females, two males but it turned out to be a male and a female which seemed to turn into a gazillion hamsters. I think they are cute in a limited quanity but gosh I think we had an army. I told him nice going, Flash and what next!

You gotte understand we live in the country and in the spring when they till the land sometimes snakes appear now while they won't harm you, I didn't appreciate him opening the cellars windows and found one coming up the cellars steps one time. Of course, in the fall the mice need a nice warm house to live in. While some people have them as pets, I don't want them as guests for the winter, eeek!!!

Oh yea, before the hamsters, he had a fish acquarium and with our water it is hard to keep the amonia down in the tank so thats when the hamsters came to our house. We had to put a screen over the top of the acquarium and we used the clear hosing tied on around each end of the tank to keep the screen tight and the cat from visiting them.

I loved the horses, we had five quarter horses.

It was nice going on trail rides. I still have my tack but no more horses. They all did live their life out here though. Also, my daughters had two ponies named Buffy and Jody.

I must go picture hunting in my spare time.

So tell us your story/stories.

Ellen

When I was a kid I had gerbils. And when our son was young he wanted an aquarium, so we had that for a few years, but I got to take care of it and it was a pain! But other than that we have had dogs.

Hello Ellin My first pet was a squirrel,my dad killed the mother not knowing she had babyes and bought home the baby.

I was very small, we had him in the house sometimes and in a cage at nite.He ran free in the day,mostly stayed in the yard.We lived by woods also.

One morning I heard a lound bang,and ran outside to see my Squirrel dead in my yard and a neighbor coming into our yard to get him.

He had been huntting and my squirrel ran home and thought he was safe.

He was tame.

Then to make matteres worst my Dad gave him the Squirrel to him to eat.

The next day I went to his house and sat on his steps all day crying guess they did nor see me.

I smelled super cooking and just knew it was my baby.

I am surprized I did not go nuts then.

My grandpa gave me a small pig to be mine at his house on a farm.

he had lots of other pigs and this one was for me.

I fed him,and pet him all the time I stay whole summers at my grandpas.he was alone not with the others.

When he got big I road on him.

He was just so loving just like a dog.

Then one day I came by and he was gone and Grandpa said he took him to be killed so he could get paid ,I never got over these two deaths.

Ut oh,My first post and I write sad stuff sorry.

I have had 7 dogs no cates cause i`m allerge to them.

I had two birds and fish and gerblils.

Gerblils kill their young,at least our did.

My daughter grabed her my the tail and it came off

Did you know about that?

I got a book and their tailes were surpose to grow back if they lost them.

Losing the tail is something that protects them if they are caught by their tail.

I had a spotten catfish with other smaller fish and he ate one whole and it was half his size.

I took him out of the aquarame ,and put him in his own small bowl for a few months and then I put him back as if I could teach him a leason.

He went around in circles for dayes and the minute he strangen out he eat other fish.I had two horses for awhile.

I guess thats it,Had a kitten for a hr,the neightbor dog knocked me down and ate him in frount of me.

My school bus ran over my dog laying asleep in a lot next to my house in the grass.

She pulled way off the road to stop the bus for something,im glad I was not on the bus that day.

Ut oh,I did it again,sorry
