Right now I have one cat and one dog. I have had up to 3 dogs (if I don't count our beagle's puppies - 7 of them, which I gave for adoption except 2 of them), who found and adopted us, and was pregnant, her puppies turned out to be half beagle and half black labrador, and looked more like labradors, including the size when they grew up, than beagles) and 6-7 cats at the same time (one of the cats who found us was pregnant and we kept 2 of the kittens and gave the others for adoption). Even the cat (another cat) who had kittens in our old barn brought them to me (right at my door) so I would take care of them. Some of my dogs adopted me (came to my house and I didn't find the owners, and of course I adopted them back), same with some of my cats. Others I bought from a person who was selling puppies, like my 2 neapolitan mastiffs. I love dogs and cats, can't live without them.
