How many animals do you have?

How many companion animals do you have? (I don't mean fish). Horses can be included because they are companions.

I voted ~ we have two "pets". One dog and one cat.

Although, we have LOTS of barn animals. Horses, cattle, chickens, guineas, quail. I think that's it. LOL!

We have a dog who is 8.3 years old, and a cat who is about 2 years old (give or take).

Both were abandoned/strays. Both are spayed. Daisy is a shep/chow mix and Lily is a long-haired calico.

Which reminds me: DOES EVERYONE HAVE THEIR DOGS AND CATS SPAYED AND NEUTERED????

Can't afford it? Call your humane society - they sometimes have vouchers for discounts. I was able to get a stray cat neutered and given his first shots for ONLY $15.00!!! Amazing! This was with a voucher, and with a cheap spay/neuter clinic company.

Our cat was $177.00 to spay!!! EEK! That was a bit much IMO!

Back to your regularly scheduled program, folks.....

Yeah Julie, I was thinking Vin would count since he is as hairy as an ape but I've already tagged the kids as lil heathens so I don't think I can count them.

No companion pets here just the oldest son's little frog.

Amina, see, once again you prove why you are so wise!!!!! Spay and neuter.....kittens and puppies are cute, but for all those homes they end up in? That leaves less homes for the abandoned ones in shelters to go to. So people thinking they have homes for all their kittens and puppies and other pets? You may very well....but because of it, another kitten, puppy, rabbit, etc. in a humane shelter will end up euthanized because of the lack of homes. Be responsible and spay *and* neuter!!!!! Not only is it responsible, but you avoid medical issues like pyometra, urinary issues, etc. The cost of those is FAR greater than the cost of a spay or neuter.
