Right now I have 3 dogs and 4 cats. I hadn't planned on have this many in my family all at once, it just sort of happened. Naturally, they have a pretty integral part! Walks, feeding times, litter boxes, accidents, sleeping arrangements, car rides (for Dexter), seating arrangements when watching TV. Everything is a group decision.

- If you were the parent of 7 kids, you would have your hands full wouldn't you? I guess Catholic couples have the same answer "it just sort of happened".

- You must never leave the house for vacation, you would go broke boarding all these four footed ones. How many times do you need to leave work each day to take the dogs out?

- I haven't worked in a shop since just before I got Dexter, about 2 years now. I moved back home to help my Mom when my Dad died and have been * s l o w l y * and haltingly working on renovating her house. Two of the dogs and two of the cats are hers and will STAY hers! LOL It's not going to be easy when I finally finish the house, move her out into something smaller and sell it, because then I'll be back in DC (hopefully!) with Dex and my two cats, Pitch & Walter, who turn 14 soon. Lord knows I'm gonna have to find a special sort of man to love ALL of us! "Gdlkng, calm, patient man, 30-40, needed to complete a madhouse w/ GWM et al. Leave msg."

- You are a good son. Now I understand how you have so many animals under one roof. Wow, 14.. only one of my cats made it past that age.. most were so sick at 13 they needed to be put out of their misery. Maybe I will see you on "This Old House"?

- More likely you will see me on "In A Fix". And I'm constantly amazed at just how old my cats are! They still act like kittens.

I own four dogs and two cats, all the dogs are male and the cats female.

Yes they are definitely an integral part of the family, just ask Banjo, one of my dogs, who is laying beside me on the lounge as i type this answer from my laptop.

- Nothing better then having them right there as company....enjoy.

3 dogs. a ridgeback pup like the little sister that is loved by everyone for her carefree attitude, an older ridgeback whos the quiet older brother that only emerges to play with the pup or for food or if he wants something, and the 16 year old jack russell. hes the cranky grandfather that hate everyone unless he feels lonely. then theres the possums that drop by every night, like the neighbours you feel obligated to feed, but you love them all the same. i love my pets :)
Comments
- I love Jack Russells! Sounds like you have some good friends there so continue to enjoy what they bring you. Possums are funny too..have alot of them in my home state of Arkansas.

i have 2 dogs and i class them as part of the family. they are so cute and when i have been out they are so happy to see me. they love attention and when im reading will come and put there paws on the paper, it can be annoying but i have to laugh they look so cute. the bit which isnt fun is when they wake me up at 6 oclock in the morning to go out for a wee LOL

- Well...they can be sorta like kids you know.

We have 4 cats. We also just got a fish tank but it only has 5 fish in it at the moment - trying to create some good bacteria.

The cats are just like our children and I can't imagine life without them - they bring us so much happiness.

I'm currently working on my husband to get a dog but he thinks it's too much.
Comments
- I think your husband is right. Quit while you are ahead. Four cats are enough, one for each hand. We are trying to kill snails in our aquarium right now.

We don't have any cats or dogs, but we got this retard locked up in the basement wearing a leather body suit who we call the gimp. Yeah, he was a fine bit of fun, until Bruce Willis came along this day a few months back and killed him with a samurai sword. Now he just hangs there on his leash, not really doing or saying anything.

- You are totally bizarre. I guess the humor "down under" and me don't connect too well.

I have a dog, a kitten, a hamster and many fish. The dog and kitten are as much a part of our family as our children. You would be amazed at how much personality animals have when you really make them a part of your daily life. My dog can practically communicate with me just by her body language. They are so integrated in our lives that we even leave the TV on for them when we leave the house so they won't be lonely! Pathetic aren't we?!
Comments
- Nope...I don't think you are pathetic at all. We've always had pets too and we spoil them as well. All of them have had great, unique personalities and they add alot to our lives.

One. A bijon frise puppy. I am trying to work him in as an integral part, but he isn't really.

He is cart trained. My husband likes to put him in the cart and go off and do our own thing. I try to take him with us unless there is an important reason we can't.
____

Oops! Thanks. He is obviously...CRATE-trained. Cart would definitely be FUNNIER.
Comments
- I can picture your puppy in a cart..that sounds funny. He'll be a part of the family before you know it. Enjoy your pup!

Yes, a wonderful dog and his baby kitten. They are most certainly part of the family. And for the coward who slapped the negative on this answer, go back to Yahoo.

We currently have one pet; a cat named Solitaire. This cat is definetely an integral part of our family. He is in complete control around here and does whatever he wants. We all love him dearly and he's entertaining company lol.
