My mom once told me I was a "hoarder" because she thought that meant having lots of pets! She told her vet about my pets and he told her it was not hoarding and was wonderful! My menagerie consists of 4 dogs, 3 cats and an assortment of small animals including 2 birds, 2 rats, 2 turtles, 2 bettas, 2 lizards (I guess we like 2s!), a tree frog and a hedge hog. All you have to do is ask the pet sitter and the kennel if my pets are well taken care of, and they'd tell you that they wish they lived at our house! Some people golf, I have pets. It's whatever you enjoy as long as you can afford it and do it well.
