    My grandparents think we have too many (we have 16 dogs, 2 cats, 1 hamster, and 1 turtle) but the rest of my family doesn't since all my aunts and uncles have a lot of dogs too ( i know for sure that one aunt has 8 dogs and five cats but not sure about the others)

    Yes they do. However, I really don't care what they think. They think I totally lost my mind after I adopted my rat Winkie.

    My friends don't really mind how many I have, just as long as they're allowed to come over and pet them

    My family, however, generally do. My parents think that 4 pets is a good number and that we shouldn't have any more for a while. In a way though, I'm pretty lucky. No-one else in my whole family, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins etc have any pets, nor are intent on having any, and most certainly aren't impressed with my little Tia.

    Some of my relatvies bug us saying we didn't need another dog.

    They're the ones missing out, though - not us.

    No I don't think so. If so, no one has ever told me.
    But I do think that the three I have now is definitely my limit. Taking care of that big boy of ours is like taking care of three

    I still live with my parents and we have a dog (West HIghlander) and I have two parrots (Sun Conure and Quaker Parrot). Do they think that I have two many pets? No. Do they think I am too much with my pets? YES! LOL

    No not realy,

    I also don't count my fish in as alot of pets because there more easy to take care of.

    My birds are my main number of pets which would be 13 birds.

    Many think we have too many dogs. But, we think it's perfect. I do know my mom gives me a mini lecture if I mention that I want another dog or a rat or something. And, I wouldn't get another dog right now, just because I want a bigger yard before we do. I know it's not a good idea right now to get another pet, but, one day, I'll have a lot more.

    I'm down to one dog, and most of my stepdad's family still thinks that's too many. My mom's family is where you find the pet people. Most of my family is unaware of how many fish I have (14 goldfish, 7 bettas, 4 livebearers, 3 loaches). Those who are aware know I'm fish obsessed but don't really care.

    No one ever would dare tell us we have too many, though I'm sure some think it.
    My mother-in-law who is not an animal person by any means still encourages us to have the pets we have and encourages us to get more if we so choose. She knows we take care of them and they make us happy so she is supportive. She even tells us we should have more cats!
