Probably missing a few! We always had three at a time, one for my parents, one for my sister and one for me. We also had momma cats with litters of kittens multiple times in my childhood (newborn kittens were pretty much the most exciting thing ever for little girls), so we would keep those for a little while and then find most of them new homes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pets-have-you-had#post-1451544 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 15:25:27 +0000 Boheme 1451544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let's see here ...

It was like living in a zoo, and not in a fun way--my parents weren't great about cleaning up after them. I have zero interest in having a lot of pets. We have 3 cats now and it's too many (we're debating trying to adopt one of them out to one of D's co-workers). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pets-have-you-had#post-1451530 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 15:22:37 +0000 Mae 1451530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, hamster, gecko. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pets-have-you-had#post-1451521 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 15:20:45 +0000 snowjewelz 1451521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: I would've been so jealous of you growing up! </p> <p>@Aria: Wow, pretty crazy to keep a snapping turtle around!

When he got too big and squirrely :wink: we took him to a local forest preserve where they take in a lot of animals that are a little too friendly with humans - like huge, over-fed zoo squirrels . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pets-have-you-had#post-1451388 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 14:49:23 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1451388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 Dogs<br /> 3 Cats<br /> 3 Ferrets<br /> Fish<br /> 4 Horses<br /> 2 Longhorns (named Hamburger and Steak)<br /> 1 miniature donkey<br /> 1 mule<br /> Chickens<br /> Rabbits </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pets-have-you-had#post-1451381 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 14:46:35 +0000 snowjewelz 1451381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HellOnHeels: You should!
