How many pets have you had?

I've had quite a few in my 22 years. I've had about 3 dogs so far, and about 5 cats. I have loved each and every one of them and I never shall forget the ones that have passed, they are always in my heart. Growing up, the house always has had an animals. I can't live without them really. I moved out a year ago and had to leave my 2 dogs and 3 cats behind with my parents. It's near impossible to live without my pets. It hurts. However me and my boyfriend have a hamster and he is adorable and I love him more than anything! He is a great little buddy.
