We just have 2 Teacup Poodles and 1 Siamese cat. And believe me, that is plenty! We had a 3-legged German Shorthair Pointer......but now he resides in a place near the Rainbow Bridge.

Here is Kangi and Gator (Navigator's Humpalot.....sry bout the name, but he earned it) Gator is on the right!

I would vote more if multiple choices were an option, too.
