We love dogs and we recently adopted a cute rescue puppy. We're a happy little family with a two cats (one of whom thinks he is a dog). We've always grown up with lots of animals. My home growing up had thirteen or more horses, a pet pig, two rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, several dogs and several cats. My wife's home growing up had dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, turtles, fish, birds, and a duck. Our animals are part of our family!
