I have a dog, staffie x, she's so lovely and gentle with lo. I got her three years ago from Battersea dogs home.
This is the least amount of pets i've ever had! I adore small furries, and dh has promised me Guinea pigs when we move (currently small flat, no garden) and I've always had gerbils so I'll get some more at some point. My last pair died of old age recently and i'm taking a break while we have no space, but have kept then since I was seven!
I also want a cat, a horse (used to own one many years ago) and some whites tree frogs and some chickens!
I used to have to beg my mum for pets and have lived, worked, shown and bred animals my whole life, my lo is going to have them coming out his ears!
