We have one mixed breed dog, one big orange cat, seven chickens, hundreds of goldfish.We enjoy all of the pets except for the excessive number of goldfish. We have lily ponds and bought the original ten fish to put in the ponds. They multiply so fast and eat a tremendous amount of fish food! They are very pretty. All colors, much like koi. (When the kids were still home we had goats, geese, ducks, parakeet and just about every stray cat and dog!)
