I list my 4 H project as pets because I got really attach to them and there was no way they were going to sold or shipped to market after that.

The first pet that I actually could claim as mine was a chicken named Suzy. She lived on my grandparents farm and I always got to see her when we'd visit on Sundays until that one Sunday after dinner and I asked where she was and was told "we had her for dinner" UGH!! But I have had:
Cats
Dogs
Cows
Horses
Pony
Possums
Ferrets
Rabbits
A goat
Sheep
Ducks
Tarpins aka terrapins
Fish
Corn snake (for 2 days...until I convinced my daughter he should be free)
A raccoon named Becky (that brings her babies to my back door every spring)
Groundhogs

Shoot...I feel like Ellie Mae Clampett on the Beverly Hillbillies!!

All i had was cats & dogs. My dad and my grandma had the cats and any foster homes I had was dogs. I never really had the opportunity to have any other pets. No wonder I am how i am!!! now I have the cats, a rabbit, 2 mice & 2 gerbils. Soon to be more gerbils cuz my brilliant neighbor decided to put her male in with the females. Both my gerbils are solo so it will be good for them to have a buddy again. I know at some point I will get a friend for the rabbit and in the future I would love guinea pigs and rats. I'm sure I will have a dog again at some point as well but none of this for a while!

When I was very little, we had a cocker Spaniel. Then we bought a weimereiner dog, then, several Siamese cats, I had my own pony until I tuned 15, then I got an American Saddle Bred horse. We also had an Akita dog.

After I moved out, I had a German Shepard Dog, then a Pomerainian dog, 4 Siamese cats, and 2 Bengal cats.

I forgot the Bats!

I found two baby bown bats, my grandmother and I raised them till they were old enough to be released.

Mushed up insects and a tiny bit of pet formula, when they were a little older they got small soft insects. Gross feeding them but they were adorable little things.
Unfortunately, we had to care for them because one of the cats had caught the mother.
