    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
