Obviously, we love animals. All the Shih-Tzu's, two of the cats, and the lab x chow sleep on the bed at night! The collie sleeps on a dog bed by my side of the bed. I don't know what we'd do without pets. And, I love my horses so much it's hard to even put into words, but my dogs (especially the shih-tzu's) are in a whole 'nother category. I love them so much it hurts.
[SIZE=10pt]What a fun thread! I'm with Jill here - I dont know what I'd do with out my pets - life would be unimaginable![/SIZE]

Ok - here goes:

Housepets - Sammie - a Cockerspaniel, Meow Meow - cat, Francious - Umbrella Cockatoo, Echo - Timneh Grey, Cricket and Twinkie - Cockatiels, Bengalese and Saffron Finches, Ruby - my daughters albino rat, two

aquariums.

Outside - three miniature horses, one mini donkey, one riding horse, Salem - beagle, terri poo and Hunter - a sheplab. Think that covers every one!

We have four outdoor dogs, three outdoor cats, about 70 head of cattle (plus a few yearlings and we're calving now, so that number is probably closer to 120 at the moment), one spoiled cockatiel and that's it for now.

[SIZE=12pt]WOW[/SIZE]! Are we crazy about our critters or what?? I don't have any 2 legged children so mine all have 4 legs and tails! Here's my list.

11 minis with 3 more in the oven

1 old retired big horse(Joe)

2 goats(Tom and Jerry)

7 cats that I claim :bgrin but my barn always has food out so I tend to feed a lot of strays. 4 are indoor/outdoor and 3 are outdoor/barn cats. (Ali-the princess, Ricky, Lucy and Samantha are inside, Casey, Sassy and Sarah are barn cats. Sarah was one of the "unclaimed" but has won her way into a permanent position.)

3 Dogs: Chance the Aussie, Duke the sock-thief Golden, and Cami the Cairn puppy and sock-thief in training!
 
Besides 8 minis(I really, really want to drop that number by one or two, to have the time to enjoy the others--driving!),I have one APHA mare, a Rhodesian Ridgeback, Roma, a Maltese, Angel, and a Chihuahua, Mia. I have to remind myself constantly not to give in to temptation to get more-I have about all I can do keeping up with the place and its inhabitants, all myself, as it is! However, I *AM* currently considering a rescue Dobie...! If I were younger, and financial resources were no object, I would have one of about EVERYTHING! I would LOVE to have a Caique!!

My daughter,who is here every other weekend, brings her full sister to my Chihuahua--and is currently working with CO Pug Rescue about adopting an older pug guy! Hoping it will go through, soon!
 
Gosh - I feel deprived. Here's my short list.

2 minis - except I think 1 outgrew his AMHR papers and should be a POA - Bambi & Kitty

1 Big leopard - Dee

1 Shih Tzu - Ray of Sunshine

1 German Shepard - Duke

Tam - I love the names of your critters!!!

Edited to add: May be adding another mini to my list. Waiting to hear from the seller.
