Let's see, when I lived at my parents we had a dog (Black lab first, then German Shepherd, both had to be put down), cat (put down due to age & illnesses), bird (love birds that died, now a cockatiel), and fish. We also had a snake when I was very young. When I was 13 I got a few rabbits, all of which eventually died or I had to give away. =( Then in 2004 I adopted a kitten from a local animal shelter and got a turtle the following year. I still have the cat and I ended up giving the turtle away to a loving family. Last May I got 2 hamsters as a birthday gift, one died this past April, and the other is still alive and kicking. She loves her wheel, while the hamster that passed away was a marshmallow and just slept and ate, and did nothing else. Lol.
