Re: The Friday Five
1. What was your first pet's name? Fluffy
2. What kind of animal was your first pet? she was a white hamster, but not an Albino -- my dad never let us get an Albino because he was convinced they would die sooner. Ironically, Fluffy only lived for 6 months.
3. If you have a pet now, what kind of animal is it? We have 2 corgis, Loki and Freya, though Freya lives with my parents due to her bi-polarness.... for those of you who don't know the backstory, I'm not kidding.
4. What is your favorite animal to have as a pet? I love having dogs, but I miss having cats. I had two, but had to give them to a friend when I moved back to Massachusetts because Chris was allergic...
5. What animal have you always wanted to have as a pet? I've always wanted a snake, but I don't think I could handle the feeding of the pinkies...

2. What kind of animal was your first pet? He was a cat

4. What is your favorite animal to have as a pet? I'm just a recent owner of dogs and have had cats my whole life, I would say cats are def my favorite
5. What animal have you always wanted to have as a pet? I always wanted one of everything lol. but I would say I wanted a tiger more than anything
1. What was your first pet's name? I honestly don't remember.
2. What kind of animal was your first pet? I think it was a mouse or a hamster or something. We didn't really have pets growing up, I think this was some kind of a rescue/surprise situation..my parents were pretty anti-animal
3. If you have a pet now, what kind of animal is it? None. We travel too much to have pets really.
4. What is your favorite animal to have as a pet? I really have nothing to compare. Since I'll be home soon, I'd kind of like to get a pet, but a 3 floor condo seems like a tough place to have an animal. Jon doesn't want a cat, I don't want fur everywhere or my furniture destroyed, so cats seem out. If we got a dog, it really couldn't be a big one and I'd be starting from scratch so far as knowing how to care for one...so...probably not going to happen.
5. What animal have you always wanted to have as a pet? When we own a house and not a condo, I want a Bernese Mountain dog, I love them. They're so gorgeous and sweet. But again, I get the feeling that's not really a "starter pet". So, we'll see.
1. Cat
2. Kitty
3. A pug, Big Boss
4. Dogs
5. Pig
1. What was your first pet's name?
If you count the first animal I lived with, then Cy, short for Cyclops. She was a husky with one eye. If you count the first animal that was my responsibility, then Stella, a hamster.
2. What kind of animal was your first pet?
See above
3. If you have a pet now, what kind of animal is it?
Dog. She's a beagle.
4. What is your favorite animal to have as a pet?
Dog!
5. What animal have you always wanted to have as a pet?
I've never really wanted an exotic pet, but when I was little I was obsessed with snow tigers.
OMG, I thought I was the only one!!! I want one of those, like yesterday!
Pets
1. What was your first pet's name? Goldie.

3. If you have a pet now, what kind of animal is it? Two dogs: pug/chi mix named Buddy, beagle named Benny. See siggy.
4. What is your favorite animal to have as a pet? I love dogs. Always have.
5. What animal have you always wanted to have as a pet? Besides the DirectTV giraffe.... a beagle. A beagle was on my pet wish list since I was 5. Got my pet wish when we got Benny in '09.
1. What was your first pet's name? Penny
2. What kind of animal was your first pet? she was a beagle
3. If you have a pet now, what kind of animal is it? I have 2 kitties and I'm 1/3 owner of my parent's dog (my sister and my dad each have 1/3 too)
4. What is your favorite animal to have as a pet? tough one. I like my cats because they are super independant, can be left alone for a couple of days, and don't need to go outside in cold weather. I like dogs because they tend to be more playful, can go for walks and usually have more vibrant personalities.
For the current point of my life, I think a cat would fit better with us than a dog.
5. What animal have you always wanted to have as a pet? I'm pretty content with either cats or dogs.
