2 cats (ages 12 and 11), some freshwater tropical fish and a white cockatiel that was my dad's when he was a teenager. The bird is approx 55 years old, can speak about 30 words and mimic all kinds of household sounds....and yes, its sometimes as annoying as it sounds......

Did you mean cockatoo? I didn't know a cockatiel could live that long.

As for me; a cockatiel and a peach front conure.

Used to live two doors up from a neighbor that had a pet Nubian male lion back in the sixties.

Two dogs, Bosco and Flea, one cat named Mini Cooper, and two ferrets named Tank and Dozer. All of them probably live better than I do!

2 dogs now, no more cats.

We just got another dog a couple weeks ago. He's a Tibetan Spaniel/Maltese cross, 3 months old, named Woody.

Our older dog is almost 3 years, he's a Shih Tzu/Maltese cross, named Dooley.

Notice a trend? Named after vehicles.

lets see. between my house and my parents i own:

5 cats - Berlioz, Spunky and Shadow (black and White), Kallie (calico) and Sebastian (tiger striped)

5 fish

and 1 dog Chester. he a Shiba Inu. very awesome and fairly rare dogs.


Smaug- english bulldogs are so cool. what color is yours. We used to own one for 14 years before he passed away. He was an awesome dog and all his wrinkles made him look so adorable. He was brown and white with a Full brown mask and a white ring around his neck that went up the back of his head into an arrow shape. very beautiful. i miss him, just as much as my boston terrier

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Yes it is,In fact people who walk by the house in the morning always stop for a couple of minutes of birdsong singing.

It was even chirpier (& singing) when we had the other male.
The birds are spread out around the house so they interact with each other.

I have 3 brittany's. One is 4 years old, the other is his daughter who is 2 1/2 years old. Until last tuesday I had a twin sister to teh female I now have, but we had to take her pups emergency C-section and she didn't make it. So now I have a 1 week old puppy that is the only survivor of a litter of 9 that was delivered a week ago.

Bottle feeding ever three to four hours on the pup.
