So what kind of pets does everyone have? Currently I have a small fish tank (20 gallon) and a mini schnauzer.

Im quite the aquarist myself. I have two aquariums. A 60 gallon with a full grown tiger oscar in it named Barabass that kills everything else I put in it. He is about a foot long now if not more. And a 30 gallon with a bunch of small community fish. I also have a border collie/ black lab cross dog that is the sweetest animal I have ever met, she has always been incredibly well behaved and tries to sneak her way on to my lap but is way to big to get away with it!

Ah , a thread after my own heart .

I have two 30 gal. aquariums full of African cichlids . A cockatiel named Sophie that was given to me by a friend of mine .

I have a 12 yr. old Rat terrier , who is old and grumpy . Two years ago my beloved chow , Jasmine , of 13 years had to be put down , it felt like my heart was ripped out . It's amazing how attached we can get to them . Well , a few weeks later while killing time while the wife was shopping , I wondered into a pet store .Normally , I do not do business with stores that sell animals(other than fish) but I seen a Jack Russell Terrier and she seen me and I knew I had to have her . I bought her and named her after my Chow , August Jasmine , who is rough and tough and afraid of nothing . And finally , the wife and I went to the local pound to get my father-in-law a dog . We looked and looked and could not find one to suit him ,until we went into a little side room where we found a timid little shih tzu/terrier mix . The wife called him and told him we found him one and he had changed his mind and didn't want her .Her due date to be put to sleep was the next day . My wife started crying and went to the car to bawl , I told the man working there that that the wife wanted her but we forgot to stop by the ATM .He reached in , picked her up took her to my wife and told her to give her a good home . The adoption fee is $50 , but he said not to worry about it . And that is how we ended up with our third dog , Isabelle . Though she is my wife's , she has ended up being my little shadow . Everytime that ASPCA commercial comes on the TV showing the abused and unwanted dogs and cats I call all my dogs to me so I can have them near me . It kills me that there are people out there who abuse animals like they do .

Along with a few horses out on the farm .

They are adorable, I love dogs. A friend of mine has a jack russel / rottwieler cross. It looks like a more muscular jack russel with all the colouring of a rotti, its a scary combination.

As bad as I hate to say it , a JRT and Rottie getting it on would been a site to behold seeing the size difference .

My buddy had a Basset hound that got busy with a greyhound . Ugliest , weirdest looking puppies I have ever seen .

Now those would be funny looking pups! I would love to see them.
