    Do your family/friends think you have to many pets???

    Do your family and/or friends think you have to many pets????
    Well my family can't really talk.My aunt and uncles have atleast 4pets each.
    My dad isn't an animal person so he wouldn't mind if we never had any.He does love fish.My mom says we have the right number.my brother alwas says we have to many manly because he is a dog person and we don't have one.My grandparents don't but they think my aunt and uncle who have 6dogs and 2cats do because there dogs aren't trained(housebrocken or sit/stay/come/ect..)
    total:2 cats,4 bettas,1 bird(moms)and 1 guinea pig(moms)

    I have 2cats, 1dog, 2hamsters & 1bird.
    So of course my family and friends think I have to many pets. They think I should get rid of some of them but that isn't going to hapen. I love my pets too much!!

    Mum thinks we do, only because she hates rats & mice. =]

    Dad is fine with the number, as is my sister. Though both would prefer if we had more birds.

    The majority of my friends think its cool that we have loads of animals.

    The majority of the extended family (aunts & uncles & cousins) doesn't visit(as we live far away from them), so I don't know what they think. I do have an aunt that lives close who always wants me to bring an animal over to her house when I visit. =D She even likes my rats.

    yup, we dont have much in the way of pet folks in my family lol on my dads side:

    Uncle 1-no pets at all, you must also sanitize your hands before touching anything in his house, and their 3 kids do not have any pets either.

    Uncle 2-loves dogs, has one himself, and his daughter has one too. his son does not have pets.

    grandparents-hate cats, dont like dogs with the exeption of Happy and Misty.

    moms side:

    Uncle-has 1 dog and 1 cat, but they are just pets to them.

    grandparents-have no pets but as my mom lived with them growing up they did have to put up with 2 GSDs, 2 Shelties, 1 Puli, 1 Rottie, 2 cats, some budgies, a bunch of fish, some gerbils... so they are fine with the whole thing and they understand my mom and I's love of pets.

    great aunt-loves animals, has a cat, and she has been riding horses 3 times a week since she was a little girl and in her 70's has no intent to stop now.

    Nah, we only have one dog and one cat.
    My sister had 6 dogs at one time, so she can't really say anything. LOL
    And now she has two cats, my mom has two dogs and my brother has a dog.
    Bruce's mom has a cat and his brother has three cats.
    So we are all pretty much animal people!!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    My family basically aren't much for pet people.

    Mom thinks the one cat she has is plenty! (I've already tried to talk her into taking Josh, but her cat Torry is deathly afraid of him. lol)

    Dad doesn't have any pets
    2 of the uncles don't have any pets
    1 uncle just have one dog and that's plenty for them

    Inlaws have 2 dogs and that's plenty, one for each of them.
    BIL has one dog (he's allergic to cats)
    SIL doesn't have any pets

    They all think I'm nuts for having the original 5, let alone the additional 3!(including hubby who never had pets as a kid).

    But then again my boss has 10 cats (used to be 10, went to 9 when my mom took Torry, then back up to 10 again with the latest one he refused to euthanize it). LOL

    Yes, my parents think we have too many animals, just about a month and a half ago I begged and begged til they finally gave in and let me get my bunny Kishii, and this is when they had said before that they weren't letting anymore critters in the house I am so glad they gave in and let me get Kishii cause I love rabbits so much and Kishii was alone at the pet store in a small little cage. Anyways in our house is:

    2 Cats (Bobo is mine)
    1 Dog
    2 big fish tanks
    3 little fish tanks
    1 rabbit
    and 1 bird.

    I think we should have more animals!

    I'm sure almost everyone who knows us thinks we have too many animals. Well, too many dogs, anyway.

    The only one who doesn't think so is my sister, who has just as many dogs as I do!

From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    Let's see...we have 7 dogs, 2 cats, a bird, fish, and a horse. My dad thinks there is too many dogs, he hates the bird, and thinks I shouldn't have the "#*%#@ horse".
    Grandparents have two cats but...pretty much hate dogs.
    One aunt and uncle have one dog, the other has a cat. But pretty much everyone thinks we have too many. I don't care, they don't live here, we do. My grandma has gone as far as telling me that if we were to get one more dog she wouldn't come back until it's gone . And she keeps asking me if I have friends that can take "some" of the dogs. She lives 1500 miles away...honestly, she only comes to visit 2-3 times a year.

    I have four dogs, but when I had three, my grandpa kept saying we needed another. I always knew there was a reason I liked him.

    Some think we have too many, but they have no effect on our household so they can shove it. If they want to start paying my bills, then they can tell us we have too many.
