...No, NOT Penthouse pets! (I read your dirty mind already).
What pets do you have or have had? Anything really different?
My last pets were two greyhounds off the track, but the ex has them.
Before that, I had two cats we adopted. They came out of a "cat lady's" house and later developed FIV (feline AIDS) and one, Feline leukemia. Remarkably, we had those cats for 10 and 12 years (Nikki will tell you how amazing this is).
Aside from some other beloved cats and dogs, my most unusual pet was a rat I got in college. One of my roomies had a sister in highschool and she kidnapped this lab rat they were going to kill. They suspected her, so she hid the rat in our dorm apartment. This guy didn't want it, so I got it. His name was Vern and he turned out to be a great pet. He would run about and poke his nose in everything and he never bit.
My mom freaked out when I brought him home for the summer, but she got used to him. After a while she could even pet him. I finally had to have him put down when he got a brain tumor. He was a great pet for 2 1/2 years. I just threw his cage away during my last move
