I too had ponies and horses when younger, have my pooches now and adore them, did the persian cat thing and never again! Will stick to shorthairs next time.
If I could have any pet, it would be a meercat. They are great wee things!!
I answered this poll by asking myself this question: if I could only keep one of our 10 (6 Birman cats & 4 parrots), which one would I keep? The answer? My African Grey parrot, Stevie. She has been with me longer than all the rest & she's just plain cooler than cool.
I want a chimpanzee So my choice was not on the poll, but my next choice would have been lots of puppies. I just love their little bellies and puppy breath! Oh and their little pinks toe pads.
All of the above except the fish and the reptile part. Can I also incude tigers, lions, and wolves, dolphins, porpoise, manatees, and whales to my list ? Oh and chinchillas, and chimps, and marmosets and etc ... ?
I'm saying dogs, but also love cats. And when my current (15 year old) puppy goes, I'm not doing pets for awhile. I need some time! I need a vacation! (I've had elderly dogs for quite while now). I love all of them, but want a vacation. When Keiki goes to meet her maker, there's going to be a pet-free zone. But I love her!!!
I`de like a Crow/Raven, they`re ever so inteligent, and one sitting on a perch in the corner of my Lab would set the mood quite nicely
although I`de settle for a Canary *sigh*
