Two cats and two dogs. (I started with one cat, my wife brought two dogs, and
for parity we adopted a kitten from a next door neighbor. :-) )

Yes.

I like animals. I've had cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, doves and
other birds, etc., and my wife has a pig (in addition to me :)).
But most of all, I love dogs. I have two of them now and we talk
a lot. One is 9 years, named 'Buizova' after a famous poet of my
tribe. The other was a ngihbour's but he decided to move in
permanently with us 3.5 years ago. My daughter named him 'Archie'
after the comic book character.

My nym here {Pimpom) is the name of one of my favourites who
adopted us 8 years ago. He was apparently separated from his
owners (he had a nice collar). I named him after a lollipop that
was popular at the time. When I lost him after 3 years, there was
some evidence that he was stolen by dog meat eaters (yuck). My
other favourite was Pimpom's grandson, named P.J. for "Pimpom
Junior". He died of cancer at the age of 4.

I have a dog named "Sir" Muttley, and he has his own domain and website:

www.muttleydog.com

I talk to him almost as I would with a human, and he communicates using his
own body language.

When I first acquired him as a rescue, I also had a cat named Photon, who
had been with me since the year 2000 when I got her and her brother "Meson".
She ran him off one night, and again a bit later. Unfortunately she was
mostly an outdoor cat and she was hit by a car on October 23, 2006.

In 2007 I had another rescued dog, Lucky, and she was incredibly sweet,
especially considering she was a probable Rottie/PBT mix and found
undernourished and full of ticks in her matted fur, and she had probably
been abused. I had to keep her and Muttley separated most of the time, and I
rehomed her through a local rescue.

There are pictures of her on http://cygnus.smart.net/~pstech/Lucky/
