How many animals do you live with?

[Mutley]

I share a house with two roommates. Between the three of us we have four dogs (two medium sized mixed, and two large Dobermans) and three cats. It can be crazy sometimes, but it's kind of fun, too. Everyone gets along just fine.

Let me tell you, keeping this place clean is an adventure.

[China_cat]

1. Six. That includes my husband.

[Mutley]

9. Heh, not a bad idea.

:P

[MrCoffee]

2. none. but the LittleCoffee is chomping at the bit for a cat

we had a fish, but it died. now she wants something she can pet. our stock answer "wait until BabyCoffee is older" is not holding up like we'd hoped, because now she tells BabyCoffee every day "do you think you're old enough for a kitty today?"

sheesh.

[ceile]

8. That is too cute. n/t

[Mutley]

10. How old is BabyCoffee?

You could get a kitten, then the kitten and the baby can grow up together. How precious would that be? :D

[MrCoffee]

23. BabyCoffee is 10 months, and he is really into going for the eyes

he's a fast crawler and quite the cruiser, not to mention the fact that he's a moose. He's already in 18 month clothes.

We're going to wait until he can talk before we cave. Then we can explain to him why he shouldn't try to eat the cat.

[pokerfan]

3. Nine or more

[Mutley]

11. Ah, fishes.

I've always been afraid to get fish. Keeping a fish tank seems really complicated.

[liberalitch]

29. Small ones need lots of TLC.....

Big ones are like tiny oceans..... if you don't put anything stupid in there it will take care of its self...... almost.
Salt water is a pain in the ass.

[Raven]

4. Four if you don't count the critters who live outside!

[Mutley]

12. I don't think it matters if they are indoor or outdoor

or both. As long as you consider them family. :)

[Raven]

66. Well then, 3 deer, 2 moose, 1 red fox, 1 porcupine, and about

a dozen wild turkeys. Oh, and 3 hawks.

[Ariana Celeste]

5. Two tarantulas

^^

[Mutley]

13. Scary.

:scared:

Spiders and I don't like each other. :P

:hi:

[Ariana Celeste]

36. hehe

I'm not too crazy about spiders either, but something about these guys not being free and out in the open makes them a lot less threatening. :P

Plus they are beautiful. :) One of them belongs to my roommate, the other to me. I'd post a picture of what mine would look like full grown but I don't want to freak anybody out. If you are interested, it's a Honduran Curly Hair.

[Mutley]

52. *Curly* Hair?

Oh boy. :wow:

:D

[ceile]

6. 3 full time kitties

and 2 part time dogs (my ex and I share them).

[Mutley]

14. I don't know if I could part with my dog like that.

Even part time.

[ceile]

17. Well, we live less than a mile apart.

And I see them whenever I want. It's not too bad. And right now I don't have a yard and he does, so it works out.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

7. It's tempting to include Mr. DTBK, but he's a sweetheart

So I won't. At least for today my answer is 2. Ask me again tomorrow.

[Mutley]

15. Heck, your answer could change in the next hour.

Keep us posted. :D

[Richardo]

16. Five mammals and innumerable fish.

3 dogs, 2 cats

A very harmonious household, at least among the animals. :)

[Mutley]

19. I love watching dogs and cats play together.

Don't you?

[Richardo]

27. We have a 6-week old kitten

...she latches onto the schnauzer's face when they wrestle. Looks like they're re-creating 'Alien'. :D

Yes, I love watching it - I laugh and laugh.

[stuntcat]

18. 2 fish and 3 cats but also

also I'm supporting a lot of squirrels.

It must be fun with 4 dogs and 3 cats. I'd have a lot more animals around if it was up to me alone but what we have now is a lot for my husband to deal with. We are gonna get a dog someday :)
What I'm really looking forward to is living in the country and getting some chickens and goats and a donkey!

[Mutley]

20. It is fun, except when the dogs decide to start a howl fest in the middle of the night.

Then, they're obnoxious. :D

[Spacemom]

21. 9 animals

2 dogs
3 cats
2 hamsters
1 parakeet
1 beta fish

I also have 2 boys, who sometimes act like animals. :D

[Tripper11]

22. 8 for us!

1 dog, 2 cats, 4 Ferrets and a blue tongued skink.

This is after the 4 rats, 2 geRbils and handsful of fish died in the past 2 years!

[Qanisqineq]

24. 5 animals

4 cats and a turtle. Actually 6 if you count the mantis I caught and put in a cage for my youngest cat to watch for a while.

[anarch]

25. I'm fairly sure there are at least several thousand

I mean, we're counting roaches, dust mites, and vermin, right?

[Metta]

26. Only one, me.

Though aliens sometimes kidnap my wife and leave her evil twin for awhile. :)

[Beausoir]

28. 3 cats, two dogs.

[Guava Jelly]

30. Mutley!!!

How ya been :D
Nice to see you posting

[Mutley]

31. Been good.

Working and working and working, as always.

How've you been?

[Guava Jelly]

32. Not to bad...

Working like a fool myself.
You have been missed here :hug:

[Mutley]

47. Aw, thanks!

I've missed you as well. :hug:

[azmouse]

33. Sadly no pets.

I'd love to have a cat or two or three but MrMouse is allergic to kitties. :(

[Sanity Claws]

49. A Mouse family is probably better off without kitties

You had to see that one coming.

[Deja Q]

34. 1 parrot, 50,000,000,000 dust mites

:hide:

[BarenakedLady]

35. Well 4 pets

2 dogs and 2 cats. However there are other critters that live in here. :D

[redqueen]

37. Two. Not including the spiders or geckos that aren't invited.

I have two hermit crabs. They're pretty boring.

[flvegan]

38. 13

That's down from 15 a month ago.

1 shelter bunny
1 outside kitty
11 dogs

[Wcross]

51. Wow, 11 dogs!

I would love that! I am sure it is a lot of work but you can never have too many of the critters. Right now I have five of them eagerly looking at me anticipating dinner.

[flvegan]

57. Considering where many of them came from

it's a lot of work. Worth it, though.

[Wcross]

58. The way they look you in the eye with so much love.

Yes, it is worth it.

[flvegan]

61. Thank you.

That was a very kind thing to say.

[Mutley]

64. I would have expected no less from you.

:D

How are all those critters doing?

[flvegan]

72. Doing well, thanks.

We also may have an overnight guest, courtesy of some CUR folks looking to get a dog the hell outta Dodge.

Damn it feels good to be a doggie gangsta.

How you doin'?

[Mutley]

75. I'm doing okay.

Finally getting some of my stuff together.

How about you?

[sarge43]

39. Five birds and

57 mice and 85,289 lady bugs wintering over in the basement.

[kedrys]

40. 6 kitties and the s.o.

It was 7 kitties before Caesar left us last week. I don't think the s.o. qualifies as an animal - most of the time. :evilgrin:

It just took us 30 minutes to now the carpet, and there was at least a whole 'nother cat in the vacuum cleaner canister. :D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

41. One male dog, two male cats, and three male humans.

I want a little girl lap dog. I'm tired of being the only female.

[trof]

42. Jes' Miz t.

[GOPisEvil]

43. None yet, but the managerie is on its way.

When Madrone and I finally move in together, it will be 1 dog, 3 cats, 2 sugar gliders and 1 bird.

[Mutley]

44. You'll have quite the mix going on there.

It's great having lots of animals! :D

[Bryn]

[DarkTirade]

50. It varies, but at the moment four.

One crawfish, two feeder fish swimming around her tank, and one roommate.

we feed the birds and chipmunks who share our space. And I have a butterfly garden... lots of outdoor creatures here.

[Arugula Latte]

Ya know, Dirty Ethel, it's almost Talk Like a Pirate Day again.

[philosophie_en_rose]

60. Three little dogs.

The sneakiest gang of terriers ever.

[EFerrari]

62. I got custody of everybody so, 7 kitties who rule us and I puppy.

:loveya:

[Mutley]

65. That puppy is gonna grow up to think he's a kitty.

:P

My kitten already thinks he's a dog. He mostly ignores the other cats, but is forever pouncing a dog or two.

[EFerrari]

70. When she sits on my bed with them, she scrunches down

and tries to blend in with the crowd. lol

[mentalsolstice]

63. Four. One bird, one cat, and two other critters who...

think they're human, as they go so far as laying their heads on my pillow when I'm not there.

[ronnykmarshall]
