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

I have had a few dogs as a child. Don't know what exactly happened to them. My sons (thanks to their dad) had a iguana named "Tupac". They were 7 and 9 years old at the time and didn't know what to do with the poor icky thing. His tail was broken twice. That thing creeped my out, I couldn't stand to look at it. One day before school, my boys discovered the reptile had died. I think the heat lamp stopped working. We put him in a gold jewelry box and buried in mom's yard. I now have Benji, a 2yr old Maltese mix.
