what kind of pet you have at home and why?

I have a tabby cat named Bojangles! I have always loved cats, and growing up we had 3 cats in my parent's house. When I moved out and got my own place, the first thing I did was get a cat. I love him so much! He can be pesky at times, but what cat isn't?

We have a fat gray lovable cat named Oliver. He is my daughters cat.  We had a White Siamese cat named Sammy that we had to put
asleep earlier this year. He was so young and sick. He had one surgery but needed another one. There was no guarantee of a healthy life
afterwards and we would have had him on a special diet too.  We didn't want him to have that kind of life. He was a happy and lovable,
free spirited cat.

I have a dog. She's part of the family. It brings comfort to homes to have pets i think.

  The first half of this year I had two dogs (a lab/pit mix and a yellow lab) and one short-hair tabby cat.  They were the "3 Musketeers", they were always together playing and having a good time.  They were used to my crazy work schedule and they were a perfect fit for me.  In July/August, the cat and the pit/lab died unexpectedly. 
  My work schedule became more demanding but in August, I adopted a kitten from a rescue and named him "Tuna".  About a week ago, I adopted another kitten from the same rescue and named him "Sammy" (short for "salmon").
  I had decided to go with two cats to keep my yellow lab company instead of getting another dog right now because she loves cats, and because she's an older dog.  The kittens can entertain themselves when she gets tired rather than subjecting her to another dog that might become to much for her.  However, she seems to have energy to burn and she still seems to miss "Shadow" so much (as do I), so I am still considering another dog but I just don't know.  (I had invested alot of time & energy into Shadow and I just don't have enough of either to do that with another dog right now.)
  A yellow lab and two "cat-fish" are enough for now...

At my family's home we have a yorkie-poo.  He is such a little cute dog, but definitely a yapper!

We only have goldfish, we have gone through about six of them and have only two left, usually over feed, under feed, you name it, we tried a dog but got to big too quick for our girls, the dog is now with a good family that has older boys.

We have a turtle named Sam. We used to have cats, but sadly they died a few years ago.
