I would definately consider myself as a pet collector...having ducks, chickens, dogs, turtles rabbits, birds, ferrets, just among the many animals that have shared my home at one time or another...lately I've thought about adopting a goat! A house full of animals is a lot of work but worth the effort..especially when they come from homes where they were previously abused! The interactions among them are amazing and certainly brighten a home!
