How many pets in your lifetime?

[gini]

I was thinking about my pets at the Rainbow Bridge and how I miss them. It made me wonder how many pets all of us have had in our lifetime, so I thought I would ask. We aren't talking age (yours) just how many pets.

I have adored and spoiled in my lifetime:

DUTCHESS: Black Miniature poodle - Female
SUGAR: White Long Haired Cat - Male
PATCHES: Calico Girl
MAGIC: Black Long Haired Cat - Male

CURRENT CROWN PRINCE>>>>>>>>>

RASCAL: Orange Tabby - Male

By the size of the other posts, I am a novice.

At the Rainbow Bridge, I have 3 dogs (Becky, Ashes, and Blacky), 1 hamster, and 1 parakeet.

Presently, I have 3 dogs (Eli, Sassee, and Ginger), and 4 cats (Jackson, Rosie, Twidgit, and Ashton).

Ok, we had few pets while I was growing...
English springer spaniel
1 grey tabby (I don't remember so much of these two, I was young (about 3) when they died, but I remember I loved both of them a lot, even slept on the floor with the dog when she was ill...
Then we have had few mixed breed dogs, and my first own pet, dog, mix breed, Nappe who lived only to be 5 years due to an illness.
For few years I didn't have any pets....

Now with my husband we have two very adorable cats, whom we love very much, and woulnd't change them for anything!

Since I was a little child , I've had so many cats !!!! But as we lived so close to a busy road , they usually only lived about 2 years ...! As for there names : most of them where called Poesje (dutch) , one was Twist , another one Kloefke ...
Now we have a black cat , named Sydney and a bunnie named Billie (see avatar !!)
And last but not least : we have at least 100 fish in our pond : goldfish , koi , sturgeon , and ides (golden and blue ones) , shubunkin and ghost koi's ! that 's it !!!

I've had cats most of my life. We found our first one when I was about 5 years old.

Miciona - she lived to about 12 years of age. She died of cancer
Titti - she went to the RB due to old age. She was 18
Gigio - He went to the bridge last September, he was 19.


Currently I have the pleasure to share my life with Maya (5 years), Prema (4 years old) and Foxy, the baby of the family (almost 10 months old).

Apparently I had some birds and goldfish when I was very young but unfortunately I can't remember them
