Ahhhh, animals!  How I love them!  My husband calls me, "Mrs. Doolittle!"

Right now, I'm living with 4 of my cats (all rescues) and my brother's cat, which also came from a litter I helped raise in my backyard; and is also the big brother of 3 of my cats.  They range in age from 5 years to 12 years.  I also have my wonderful little Brown Headed African Parrot, who is 22 years old now.  My husband has my other 2 cats, of which one is a rescue and the other a Bengal, 5 and 11 years old, respectively.  My son has taken Smokey, a cat he found under a bush in the heat of the Arizona summer as a kitten.  Smokey is now 8 years old.  We also have 2 dogs - a Boxer and an Australian Kelpie.  Bruno the Boxer is 7 years old, and Bear the Kelpie we're not quite sure.  He came to us via a man whose neighbor abused him.

Over the years, I have taken care of over 40 cats in my neighborhood, providing them with shelter, food, and lots of love.  Many have been adopted and many have passed away outdoors.  I've had good times and bad times with these wonderful animals and some of them I miss very, very much.  LOL, you had to see my backyard when they were all sunbathing!  My husband used to call it, "Lion Country Safari!"  Ha!!!

Other animals that we've had over the years have been snakes, a turtle that someone had painted on her shell - the writing read "Edsel," so that's what we called her, and hermit crabs.  I forgot to mention the fish we had.  They grew to phenomenal size - to the point where we had a 75-gallon sized fish tank.  You don't want one of those springing a leak, LOL.

Well, I guess you can tell I'm a sucker for animals!   ;D

I have a 2 year old Belgian Shepard namend Ceaser, and two cats Grady and Missy.  Growing up i had a Chow named bear, he was my best friend and i miss him still to this day.  he died at 18 years old.  after him i had Buddy, a German Shepard/chow mik.  His name told it all, he was my buddy and went everywhere with him.  he died about a year in a half ago of cancer.  i adopted Ceaser from a client of mine at the Veterinary i work with because she couldn't take care of him.  He's the sweetest thing, he loves to swim, naw on his bones, herd the cats and go to the dog park. 

My oldest cat i got from a client that found him when he was about a week old but couldn't keep him cause she had several already.  he's almost seven years old.  My youngest cat i found her litter in my attic, and raised them till they were about three months old and was able to give all of them away except her, i was to attatched.   I love my animal

I have a Pomeranian - sometimes she acts like a rabbit (hopping across the yard) and sometimes she acts like a parrot (sitting on my shoulders or head).  I spoil her rotten.  We also have a mixed breed dog.  We call her "chicken dog" because she is scared of everything.

My daughter has a cat, and we have a couple of parakeets.

I have an 11 year old cat named Misty as she is grey.  I have had her since she was 8 weeks old and she is my baby I don't know what I will do with out her when her time comes to leave this world.  I hope she still has plenty of years left in her as she still has a lot of spunk left in her. I have had mostly cats as pets for most of my life but I did have a dog once when I was a teenager.

I have a Maine Coon, A Siamese Mix, and an outdoor Tabby mix. The outdoor cat is like a co-owned cat.  Me and my neighbor(who it originally owned her
) both feed her and look out for her well being, so the total is three!! I really want to get a French Bull Dog one day, though.

I have two dogs now.  Over the years we had 1 cat and at another time we had three dogs.  When I had three dogs it was a circus. The young dog attached the older dog with many dog fights. This was not pleasant at the time.  I usually have two dogs at a time.
