Chance, my red nose!
I have three companions currently, and by early next year I will hopefully add another wonderful animal ( a tortoise, yay!) to our already happy home. 
Sunnie is our long-haired, chocolate dapple dachshund (yes, that is the official term for his unique coloration). He is a five year old purebred, despite what many of our neighbors intially thought when they first saw him. Sunnie's entire litter was filled with dappled or other uniquely colored siblings. He is pictured posing with our dachshund Christmas decoration, who we've affectionately named Boomer.
Our two cats are named Tobi and Butterfinger (though we just call her Butter), ages 6 and 10. Butter is infinitely times more active than our tubby tom-cat, despite her age, and her vivacity has led my brother and I to believe that she will live well into her late teens. Tobi is larger than our dog, and the most mellow boy you will ever meet.

My two crested geckos, Yoshi and Ducky
My precious puppy Angel
Almost all of the pets I grew up with.. from left to right.. Milky Way, Angel, Susie and Sammy. Two more feral cats are missing... Needless to say they didn't want to celebrate Halloween
And finally, the newest addition... Thor!

These are my babies. I am missing a picture of my black and white persian. But, here you go.

This is Rosie the cat. She's super sweet, but has a bit of a temper around strangers. I boarded her at Petsmart over Christmas and received a call from the manager saying that the Petsmart employees were afraid of her. Its hard to believe that my super sweet angel can be such a brat.
This is Herb, the preying mantis who lives outside my window:
The squirrel who thinks he's our pet and sits on our doorstep begging for food:
Everyone has such beautiful animals! Love the little Hedgehog!

Oh gosh. The NON-tort pets. Isn't that a whole big can of worms, in this house! Let's start with the furries...
Technically I only have 2 furries. Both of them of the canine variety. The white one is a(n evil) 8 yr old deaf Corgi mix named Ginger. She WAS my mom's dog. Then she went off the deep end earlier this year, abandoning her already very unstable dog in the process. Oh, how I love my family (not). Well, my dad and I were the only people willing and able to take her, so Hell Spawn Incarnate... I mean, Ginger... landed here.
I joke about her bloodlust... But really, she's not too bad. She was pure unadulterated evil when I was a teenager. Still has a bit of an attitude problem, but once she realized barking, lunging, and biting people and Stump wasn't going to be tolerated anymore, she chilled out and became a very happy, relaxed dog. It's like magic!
Hmm. That wasn't supposed to turn into a novel.. Anyway, this is Stump. He's my funny lookin' Brussels griffon mix. He's around 24-25 lbs at his best. He turned 7 years last month. Still loves a good hike!
Both veeery tired after a long hike in the mountains...
I miss the old broad too much not to give her an honorable mention. This is a very OLD picture of Samantha, a 75 lb boxer. She passed away back in February, at an admirable 13 years old.
These guys aren't "mine," per say. But it sure feels like it sometimes. I work in a pet supply store. We don't sell any live animals, but we do have 4 store cats that roam the store. We also foster kittens for the local animal shelter occasionally. The two black cats are Lenny and Squiggy... Brothers and total HAMS. They're both super affectionate.
The Tabby is Shirley. She has an attitude. I love it. She can never decide if she wants to be pet or not. So she alternates between stretching and drooling or growling and swatting. She also greatly enjoys boxes. Alas, I don't have pictures of Laverne, the big ol' Tortie..
My personal favorite of the current foster kittens. This long haired fella is insanely cute and has an awesome personality. He keeps demanding to come home with me, but alas I refuse to subject him to being an outdoor cat, and training the people in this house to keep the back door shut is impossible! Among other issues. But OMG I want him SO badly. <3
At 8 weeks old... (So little!)
And now, at 4 months--can't tell from the pic, but he's probably 5 lbs? Almost as big as his mother!!
LOOKIT THE SHNOZZ. Another of the foster kittens, also male. He's also pretty great. My coworker is head-over-heels for both boys, but has admitted that, given the choice, she'd take Mr. Shnozz home in an instant.
Older pic, of Mom and the female kitten (solid gray) snuggling. D'aww. These two are also super sweet.
Not a good pic, but here's mom's favorite sleeping spot... They're all total shoulder cats. Momma cat in particular was infamous for using the nearest hunched shoulder/back as a bed when the kittens were nursing. After being stuck in a cage with 5 parasitic bundles of joy, I guess anywhere looked cozy! These days she's allowed to roam the store, and has taken to stalking laps instead of shoulders.
Just quick pics of the lizards, since I just looked at the clock. Oops, just pulled off an all nighter. Good thing I don't work tomorrow...
The Schneider's skinks, starting with the (unsexed) one I've had for a year and a half.
The proven female. Can't wait to try breeding these guys, once I can find a male. (Fingers crossed the other one is male..)
Golden Skinks! Sub-adult female is up first. I bought her back in August. She came with a group of rescues--her highly inappropriate former cagemates. She was kind of a rescue, too, except for the fact that I purposely went and forked over money for her with the intention of making her part of my personal collection. Different situation than the Fence and Alligator lizards who just needed OUT.
Adult male.
Adult female. Found the pair at an expo last month, yippee! She gave birth a week or so ago. Unfortunately none of them made it... All the stress of moving while heavily pregnant, I suspect. Ah well, Mom's healthy, that's what's important.
The healthiest baby. He was showing some promise, until he absolutely refused to eat. He passed at a little under a week old--unsure if it was the refusal to feed, or whatever failure to thrive/development issue took the other 5. They all weighed less than 1 gram at birth. TINY!
One of the aforementioned Alligator lizards. The Fence lizard has already been successfully rehabbed and rehomed. These guys have presented a bigger challenge. They are improving.. Just at a much slower pace.
(Neglected to post pics of any of the Fire skinks.. Actually posted pics of most of them in the Lizards subforum earlier this evening... Err, morning, as the case may be!)

This thread makes me feels so less crazy!!! When I have people over they always think I have a zoo. And when I am with people I know and I meet someone new, the person who knows me always wants me to recite my zoo. Like a circus sideshow. Haha!
So here are some of my others:
I have not posted my boxies, this is Potscrubber.
My three spaniels, Katie, Daisy and Sammy. The brownies are our rescue children.
My three hens, Wiggles, Leanne and Zoe
My red foot, Strawberry
One of our three aquariums, fully planted. We have mostly rainbows and cichlids.
One of 10 total salamanders. I have two huge 12 year old adults then 8 babies
And my 14 and a half year old Yorkie, the only thing that I have had longer than my husband.
Not featured is my chinchilla, no pictures of her on my iPad

Now that I'm... slightly more rested, how about some of the snakes.
Wyvern, the Taiwanese Beauty rat snake.
The Cave Dwelling rat snake (aka Ridley's Beauty snake). He may not look like it, but this is a 7 foot long snake.
Juvenile Everglade's rat snake
Trans Pecos Rat snake (aka Suboc)
Toby, the San Diego Gopher snake
The most recent addition to the family, an Albino Checkered Garter snake. She was an impulse buy at Petsmart's black friday sale. I'm in love.
Hatchling normal Corn snake. Love having a red snake in the house again!
DeeDee, subadult Ultramel Anery Motley Corn snake. (Fancy words for no red pigment, reduced black pigment, and a genetically abnormal pattern.)
Atlas, my funny looking Colombian cross BCI boy. (Most recognizable pet trade name for would be "Colombian red tail boa.") Please excuse the poop, evidently he enjoys soiling his sleeping quarters...
That's all for the moment. Evidentally, I don't have any good recent pictures of Volvagia (rosy boa), Mallie (corn snake), or Amun Ra (woma python).

My bestest buddy Big Jake and his bestest buddy Sushi. <3 They snuggle everynight. And are together or very nearby the rest of the day.

I've been watching the 138th Westminister Kennel Club Dog Show, and I just had to put my winner in LOL
His name is Tucker, and he's a Bolognese. This breed is rare in the U.S. (last I checked there were only about 1,000 in the U.S.). He's a trip!
