Petless at the moment, I had to put my cat down about a month ago after 14 great years. 
I'm having a hard time trying to decide whether to get another.

Are You a Pet Owner?

Condolences on the recent loss of your cat. Please vote "cat owner" in memory of your late cat.
Aaawwww....he looks ready for a mateSeeing as Rockslinger's oversight means I can't vote in the pole, I'll just have to add my two cents here.
I proudly cohabitate with two parrots...Cockatiels to be precise. Both are "white faced". Hugo is my male, and has the standard white face markings. Chuck is a female, and has a pied pattern. No, I will not breed them, as they are too closely related.
Hugo, the sexy monster.
Last I heard birds were actually the second most popular pet.
Chuck
Now as for their names, when I got them the breeder said they were both males. And they were both were above average in weight. (Hugo was supposed to have weighed 115g, when average is 80-90g) So I gave them names that one would associate with big guys. When I got them home, Hugo dropped a lot of weight, dropping to 75g. My vet in the end suspected that Hugo was still young and hadn't started being active, so the 115g was baby weight. So once he came to my home, he was encouraged to be out, play and fly, so that weight came off. Now they weigh in at 96g for Chuck, and 85g for Hugo. The vet just marvels at Chuck, and says she's a very strong bird and has excellent muscle tone.
But can your bird do this??!!Last I heard birds were actually the second most popular pet.

Please, just pick one. Originally, I wanted to offer only the following TWO choices.
1) YES, I have animals (excluding human children).
2) NO, no animals for me.
No surprise in the poll results so far. No wonder pet food and care is a $500 billion business in North America.
One dog (and two teenagers).
The dog is an adorable Aussie. My girls still come home from school every day and say "Awww......look at him!! He's soooo cuuuuuute!!"........and we've had him for 2 years! LOL
