Brag About Your Real-Life Pets!

So, who's got pets in real life? I have quite a few (especially since I consider the ducks and chickens as pets)!

I have:
A sun conure (my baby)
A bearded dragon
A leopard gecko
Two fish
Two gerbils
Thirteen chickens
Five ducks with more on the way
One cat

I also have two other cats and a dog in my house, but they're not really my pets. What about you all?

I have 2 dogs. 😊

They're brother & sister. The story was that I was getting two dogs and the boy needed a sibling with him or else he'll be lost. ❤️

Mine all have silly stories, 'cept Larrikin the sun conure. He was on purpose XD

Caramel the beardie was one someone bought as a baby, and then three days later decided they didn't want, and bam I have a bearded dragon.

Oasis the leopard gecko was kept with no humid hide, and as a result lost all her toes. She came to live with me as a special needs gecko. She hunts her crickets just fine though!

The fish were feeders that the pet store was about to throw away to make room for a new, more lively batch. They're now two years old and going strong.

The gerbils were babies from one of my other pairs, and the new owners decided they didn't want them anymore and was going to feed them to their snake, so I took them back right quick.

The cat was abandoned as a kitten at a barn after a little boy brought her home without permission and the parents then dumped her at a barn to fend for herself.

And the chicken/duck story is waayyy too long to go into now.

I have two dogs and a cat.

Our cat was found in my car!

It was summer, I had to go to the pharmacy, and it was night, so I parked the car, it was sooo hot, I didn't bother closing the windows, came back, and my neighbor whome I brought too, she was like "you do know there's a cat in the cars eat right?!" I laughed it off. Then I heard him meow. I said "Holy crap there's a cat!!!"

Animals so often find you, instead of the other way around! The only pet I actively sought out was my sun conure, and the rest just kind of found me. Sounds like that's what happened to a lot of you!

I have:

A Black Lab- Explained below
A Malhuahua (Dog)- Explained below.
A Rooster (Oreo)- Got him from a breeder
5 Chickens (Mashmellow, Salt, Pepper, Reeses-Cup, Peanut Butter)- Breeder
An Albino Catfish (Sucker)- Store
A White Tetra (Murderer, she killed most of my fish, that's how she got the name. XD)- Store
A Cockatiel (Sam)- My Christmas present when I was 7.
And I used to have an Outdoor cat, but he disappeared. (Domino) ;-;

The story about my Black lab, Ginger, is that we got her after my other dog, a sheltie mix, died. Our neighbor was working at a vets office and she told us about her. Her first owner had wanted to put her down because she had heartworms, which were easily fixed. She didn't want to spend the money, even though Ginger was young and healthy, she was only 2. The vet took in Ginger and when we went down there to see her we instantly fell in love and we got her. ❤️

My Malhuahua, Nikki, was in accident. One of our neighbors dogs go loose and met up with a Chihuahua (You can figure out the rest. XD). Well, she was the only one one in her litter to survive, and her owner left her and her mom in our care while her and her kids went to Texas. SHe came back and said we could keep Nikki. She now thinks Ginger is her mommy, I'm serious. XD

So I have a labradoodle- Funny story below

American short haired male tabby- story below

So I was at the park and my dad's like. "You guys really liked sydney from petland right?" "YEAH!" You wanna get her? I pactically alost fainted in that moment. So, My mom didn't want us to get a dog. We got the dog while she was in Calgary..... We still have her though and we absolutley adore ^^ She's almost two now. Got her at three months.

So Jake, my cat, is now the same as my Grandma in cat years. I am not joking. when you don't pay attention to him he's all like "OH I"M DYING!" I call him an old hag and he deserves it ^^

LOL. My oldest cat was a tough old boy. He lived to be 16 and only died because I had to have him put down when he threw a blood clot and paralyzed his back legs.

The day before, he beat up a pit bull that was in our yard and wasn't supposed to be. I'm sure he would have lived much longer if not for that clot.
