Well, I take all comers and have sheltered, fed and loved everything from mice to fish.
I can't have birds though, too many cats.
I would also like to give a shout out to the cats. Yes, they are generally more independent than dogs (yeah, tell that to the kitty sitting in my lap!), but they make me just as happy as my dog.
For a real kick, you should see my guinea pig running around in the kiddee pool I got for him to play in (there's no water, just hay, newspaper and fun!). It's absolutely the cutest, funniest thing I have ever seen.
However, on a per pound basis, the pig is by far the most expensive animal I have. He's got to have kibble, bedding, hay and fresh vegetables every day. *I* don't even get fresh veggies every day.
Seldom.
