What types of pets have you had? And what would you like to have?

I currently just have cats but I grew up with so many pets. The first pets I had were hamsters. I had them for a while and they would breed with each other so we always had a few at a time. It was fun taking care of them and watch the babies grow up. I remember writing down when their eyes started opening, etc. I have also had a rabbit, parakeets, guinea pigs and ferrets. Ferrets were really fun. It was like having a permanent kitten. They are always so playful. They were hard to take care of and had a musky smell so I wouldn't get any again. I would still like to have a dog someday but I am waiting for the right time in my life. I would like to have a house and a big yard for him to play and run around in. I am interested in Shiba Inus but we'll see what happens.
