We have 1 cat (who sleeps with my daughter) & 2 dogs (1 of them is a 9 year old lab/dalmation mix who sleeps with my daughter) & a 10 month old german shep/black lab mix who has his own room!
We did have parakeets, but gave them away last year thinking they were contributing to my health problems. They do carry a bacteria that causes lung infections.
I was very upset about getting rid of them. Mostly because that meant ANOTHER thing in my life was being altered, but now that they are gone, I am fine with it. I dont miss the noise or the mess. They were sweet tho!
My doctor mentioned one time to me about getting rid of my animals.....that will never happen. Some people think that is ridiculous, but my emotional/mental well being is helped by my 4 legged kids. I grew up with animals & will die with animals....SORRY!
I might change rules over the years like now no animals in my bedroom. Growing up my animals slept with me.......
