You are not alone!  We now have 2 dogs, 5 cats and 32 chinchillas!  I also fostered 2 beautiful cats (our friends gave up) over the holidays, now we have placed them in wonderful homes.
 As the kids were growing up we also had hamsters, gerbils, fish, lizards, frogs and hermit crabs too.

YAY im not the only one addicted to critters lets see here i have.

1 chupers (chinchilla)

1 Smokey (the rarest breed of dog ever being as there is only one and i have it)

11 hermit crabs

5 rats for the moment my hairless female had babies 2 weeks after bringing her home and 3 of the babies survived which im happy about . Hairless females usually cant lactate so 3 survivors is doing good but they all have hair.

we have a tiny apartment and I want fish and birds too . Maybe some mice . I really want and african grey parrot . I was telling the hubby the other day that its so odd how much love rodents can give you . When you think of rodents like rats and such you at first dont think they can be so sweet .

After we rescued the chupers (chinchilla) from the hubbies little sister who is an impluse pet getter and had him here for a while he began to be so affectionate towards us . Now the rats to it too every time we go near the cage there they are at the door wanting loveins. My opinion of rodents has soooo changed in the last year and a half . That whole ewwwww factor is gone , now its awwwwww look at the wrinkled pink hairless rat isnt it cute .  :::grins::

I have been a hermit crabber since 1998 . My kids went to galveston with family back when i lived in texas and came home with 2 of them and I was hooked . I consider all my crabs rescues . They advertise hermit crabs as easy pets . They are not easy . They require things like a certain temp and humidity level . Certain foods , both fresh and salt water and a friendly substrate like sand . I have never been to a pet store that had the hermit crabs in conditions that were even remotely good. I have to stop myself from buying every crab in the store. ::tickedoff::

My dog is a rescue as well . We found him when he was a puppy cowering behind the trash can by the front door of the dollar general one very cold feb. afternoon 2 years ago. I picked him up and just could not put him down to starve, freeze or die in the highway that was just across the parking lot.

I guess if I had more room I would be a foster parent for other animals and my big dream is to someday have the space and resources to run a real rescue . Not just for dogs and cats but for what is considered exotic animals . They seem to suffer as well . People think "how cool I will get a chinchilla or a snake or rat" , without realizing how much time and money such pets really to take. Then they end up abused simply from lack of knowledge or from being unwanted after a while. :'(

I am an animal lover and proud of it.  ;)

We have 2 degus and 1 chin
I would always like to bring home more critters but my hubby says no  ::nono:: so I must behave  ::)
although I made him promise that if we ever get a house there will definitely be a bulldog in my future.  I really can't complain, tho he is a good guy.  The degus were a planned pet and he has made them the most awesome housing unit but the chin was a birthday surprise from my oldest daughter and since she didn't let on what my surprise was til she walked in the door with her.....  ::Hairraising::good thing her stepdad is so good natured!
