You mean in actual numbers for one's entire life? Does that include fish? I had a 135 gallon aquarium for many years that had anywhere from 60 to 100+ fish in it. Also bred them in smaller tanks. Had an owl for about a year. Had finches for a few years and bred them. Usually had a cat until I met a lady who was allergic to them. Had a handful of dogs, most of whom lived for many years, thus the small number. Had some other critters I've probably forgotten about, like a baby duck at Easter one year that I released in the lake at Hermann Park. Stuff like that. I have no idea what the count would add up to because of the fish, although when I had my aquariums, I kept a log of the fish I had, and may still have those somewhere. The logs, not the fish.

Perhaps its the way u phrased this topic along with your thread inquiring about having ever killed someone, or perhaps ive been reading too many mystery novels... but... are you dexter?
i couldn't help but laugh at the title of the thread not that the death of pets is funny but to me the title sounded like "how many pets did i not take care of and they died". note: not accusing anybody of malpractice
Yeah this is true. Although not so much of malpractice, just some miscommunication with the pets :grin:
Do sea monkeys count? Only if you ordered them from the back of a comic book. I remember when you could order spider monkeys from an ad in a comic book. Actual monkeys! I had a friend who got one. It didn't turn out well. The critter bit him, so he gave it to the Houston Zoo. This was back in the 1950's, but I remember seeing the ads in the '60's.

Not counting family pets as a kid... 3 goldfish, 2 of which were possibly murdered by the 3rd. I theorize he ate their souls and used them to live over 3 years. 1 cat now with ex-girlfriend. Currently own a tripod chinchilla.
6 dogs (7 if you count the one I have now), a couple of cats, probably 6 different aquarium setups (with everything from fish to frogs to crabs), 3 rabbits, a few various rodents, couple of parakeets... hope I'm not leaving anyone out.
Had a cat for a few months but got rid of him when we got out pup, she's been with us for 3 years now.
