we currently have a cat, Gibson (all black long haired) - he's lazy and cuddly and the sweetest lil guy ever!

and 2 hamsters, heh... my daughter has one hamster named Jersey which is a vicious little thing, it hisses and hates people (dont blame her sometimes lol) and then we have Petey which is my son's hamster.. he's twice the size of Jersey and so friendly and cuddly..

we adopted Gibson from the animal shelter as an adult cat.. though the kittens were absolutely sweet, it broke my heart that these adult cats had been there for what seemed like forever and quite possibly were being put down soon :-( if i could have adopted them all, i would have...
Gibson jumped right in my arms and rubbed my nose with his, i knew he was the one.. when i brought him home, he walked out of his crate and laid down, that was that.. he was home.. LOL..

i used to have a shepherd dog, named Teiko for 19 years.. she was my very best friend in my teen years, right up until she had to be put down.. she lived a long wonderful life and i miss her every day , every single day!! i've never been able to get a dog since losing her...
