oh geez, now I have to think about all those questions.....ok, I'm done, here is my answer. You can never have too many pets!!! Chickens, cows, turtles, rats, pill bugs, fish and any other kind of animal you happen have are all pets, as long as you take care of them and love them. Ok, maybe not pill bugs.
And now I'm starting to sound like a preacher or something. Gah! Philosophy makes my brain hurt.![]()
Actually, my questions were aimed at the offending person who said you had too many pets. Personally, I'm on your side. Can't have too many pets: too many nosy, judgmental friends/neighbors/family members, yes, but not too many pets.
