We talk a lot about dogs on our site because most of you have dogs (those pet pictures every day don’t lie!). But now we want to give a special shoutout to those other pets. We like cats and we like birds and we like frogs and we certainly like fish (especially that of the smoked salmon variety. Wink.).
What kind of pet(s) do you have? If you have a pet that doesn’t fall into any of the poll categories below, please leave a comment and tell us. We look forward to reading those comments.

fainting goats, miniature mule, donkey, horses.
My wife and I own two sugar Gliders. They are marsupials, not rodents.
Wife and I have had Cats for the 51 plus years we have been married. They all have lived to 16-18 years and have provided many hours of comfort and love.
Three dogs, one cat, and two full size donkeys.
I answered dog, but in reality our German Shepherd owns us by allowing us to share her home and life. She also keeps track of other pets that come out of the woods almost every night. In addition to our regular raccoons, Rocky and Bandit, we have as many as six deer in our yard at night. Her favorite outdoor pets are the day time squirrels that share the bird feeders with Rocky and Bandit. Then there’s the coyotes and possum that drop by to visit. But ‘our’ German Shepherd knows who is in charge.
Looking for the right dog
Dachshunds since 1972. Presently have the 9th generation of the original bloodline. Potential mother of 10th generation is in the house! Warm , loving and mischievous little critters for sure. Noisy and nosey is another good description.
Best dogs ever
We currently also own and have owned hedgehogs . They make great little pets and are mainly nocturnal. Jasper stays in a 20 gallon fish tank with his food and water dishes and has a small hut with cloth that he sleeps in during the day. We take him out regularly and put inside a 3×3 ft enclosure to play and run around and has an exercise wheel that he runs on. He has a special diet of mealy worms and food pellets formulated for him. He was a rescue from the ASPCA. And he also travels with us on our camping excursions, as well as our 3 pooches and cat.
In addition to the dogs, we had Tibetan yaks for years as well as many horses, chickens, geese, some pigs occasionally, goats, the typical 4H farm when the kids were home. All gone but for a Glen of Imaal terrier and a mini dachshund which are our co-travelers.
We travel with our 3 legged Maltese, his fourth leg was bitten off by the ex-neighbors German Sheppard when his foot slipped between the fence boards. He hops around just fine and runs just as fast as he did before, I like to say he’s not handicapped he’s handicapable. We haven’t ever regretted saving him from death when we decided to have him operated on to remove it from the shoulder out. We’ve had 3 1/2 wonderful years since, he’s 9 1/2 years old and we hope we have him many more.
None at present but at various times of my life have been involved with first four. Love Boston Terrier but never “owned” one, they owned my heart and took pieces with them when they left.
Who owns whom?
We currently have only two dogs, our smallest pet population in 20 years. In the past we have had up to four dogs at a time, and six cats. Our hearts have lots of room for loving animals and we are fortunate to be able to afford to give them the medical care they need and deserve. I can’t imagine willingly having less than two “furkids” ever. And I’m not ruling out adding to the family if God decides to send us another needy soul to love.
Used to have a wonderful cat. Maybe another category should have been owned previously might again.
We have had pets over the years. Hamsters, rabbits, a dog, gecko, lots of birds. Now we are petless. When we retired, we had a Quaker parrot that gave us so much joy. But Quaker parrots are banned in some areas and we didn’t want to put any stress on him. We sadly passed him on to another parrot loving family that was overjoyed to have him.
We can come and go wherever and whenever we please, without the worries of leaving a pet unattended. We don’t have any worries of crossing American, Canadian, and Mexican borders so no vaccination or health certificates are needed. Maybe we will be the ones that will need a Covid certificate though.
We have two Labs, a yellow and a black. After our last Lab passed, when we were ready to get another, we went to the breeder to get a Yellow Lab. It turns out that there was also a Black Lab from the same litter that was the runt of the litter and no one had shown interest in her. We couldn’t bare the thought of the black being left alone, so we took both. They’re a lot of work, but it’s the best thing we ever did. The girls (dogs), Annie and Maddie, love each other and we love them too. They provide unconditional love and companionship, and they enrich our lives every day.
We own a Dog, Cat and a Bird. The Dog and Bird travel with us but the Cat stays home with our Daughter!
One fat(18ĺb) cat, Vegas!
One former racehorse named Fonzie. Or The Fonz. Or Mr. Fonzerelli, depending on his mood. Which changes everyday! He’s quite the character.
There’s an anole who lives in my house. Does that count?
In addition to our dog, we own two Thoroughbred horses, both raced, both retired.
Three beagles to travel, cats go no where.
Maggie the Wonder Beagle!
I am of the strong opinion that no one owns pets. I think the pets own the people.
We own 2 trail horses
Do we really “own” a pet or “have” a pet? To me it’s like saying, “I own two kids, a boy and a girl.”
We don’t own anything except a house or a car or some inanimate object. Animals are adopted into our homes. They are our pet children. So using the word own to me is rather like owning a person. Know what I mean?
I like turtles.
