    I have two dogs and a cat, and I love them like family. I would be devastated if I lost any of them and it makes me think about how some people take their pets for granted.

    What pets do you guys have? Do you consider them family?

    Got 2 dogs. One we got a little over a year ago from a shelter and the other is a dog my wife had before we met. We had a cat too but had to put her to sleep last year. She was like 17. I also had a dog back at home but he was put to sleep too.

    We have a dog named Monique, she's a shepherd retriever mix that we got from the shelter 3 years ago. I consider her family, she used to follow me everywhere when I first got her during my senior year of HS, but I haven't been spending as much time with her ever since I started college 2 years ago. Every time I open the door though, she's always there wagging her tail to give me a kiss. It amazes me how loving and loyal dogs are. Sometimes I get sad when I think about how she's not gonna live as long as me, but I always remember this quote

    “People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life – like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.”

    My wife and I have a cat named Linus and a cat named Hobbes. They are about 6 and 3 years old, and I definitely consider them family - had them since they were a couple months old. Got the first one right when my wife and I started dating.

    I used to prefer dogs but they are just too much work. Good friends of ours got a puppy recently and their life seems like h---.

    Edit: here is a pic of Hobbes from yesterday stealing my couch spot.

    I definitely plan on getting another dog when im older and get my own place. Ever since i saw the movie Eight Below, one of favorites, i fell in love with Huskies. I heard they are alot of work but I want one so bad.

    my dog Stan (we didn't name him, he's from a rescue centre) is a German Shepherd/Border Collie mix and he's my best bud. I have a cat who is a dickhead and three rats who are best friends with the dog.

    I have two golden retrievers. Summer and Cooper. My sister found a cat many years ago and named it AJ. He's just a little black cat.
