I have too many animals...
First, there's my cat, Mittens. He lives outside now because of this new dog we got. I'll talk about her later. Mittens claws too much and can get aggressive with humans, but is usually non-aggressive. (And can be somewhat of a 'fraidy cat at times.)
Next, we have my chihuahua, Ginger. She's a bit chubby, but she's the nicest animal we've got. (A surprise for a chihuahua, I know.) She's starting to get a bit grouchy now that we have the new dog... in fact, she absolutely hates the new dog. Still, she's usually still sweet to the rest of us, and she gets along with the other animals just fine. (In fact, she's the only animal I'll let near my hamsters and rabbit.)
I've got two hamsters. The first one is Pixie. She's evil... pure evil. She killed her sister Dixie when they were still young, then cannibalized her carcass. Yet I love her to death... I guess that's the magic of the pet-owner bond.
The other hamster is Bijou. I got her after another hamster (Dixie, Jr.) died, who I got after Dixie died. Bijou sometimes bites, but she's usually nice. She's an albino. (Or similar to one.)
I have a Dutch dwarf rabbit named Snickers. He frikkin' rules. He doesn't ever go to the bathroom on the floor, and he's only about six months old. In fact, I got him when he was one month old and he already seemed to be potty-trained then. The only problem with him is his sharp nails... I need to clip them, or have the vet do it.
Finally, there's our new Golden Retriever, Adia. My brother bought her and hardly ever spends any time with her. She's mostly caused trouble and she bites too damn much. She drove Mittens out of the house and pisses Ginger off, fighting with her over bones and jumping on her playfully. (Ginger's ten years old though, so she doesn't want to play like that.) But, she is starting to learn to behave, and we're going to send her to obedience school. Frankly, I don't even think we needed to get her since we already had more than enough animals. I don't hate her though; she's just a puppy, and it's not her fault that my brother's an idiot.
