I have a mali that is approximately 7 years old, I have had him since October of 1998, His name is Archimedes. I have a thing for naming animals after philosophers and intellectuals, and I thought he looked intelligent when I got him. Little did I know he likes to leap off tall surfaces and get caught in spider webs. lol. He is now usually referred to as Archie.



I have multiple unnamed fish. In fact this is the first time in history I have had pets who are not named. They simply have not stood up and names themselves yet.



I recently gave my 3 koi to my sister, who built a 500 gallon koi pond in herr organic food store. They were named Kaptain, Pinky and Diatribe.



I ride a 17.3-18.0 hand Thoroughbred/Draft cross names Opie. I did not name him but it is well suited to his personality.



May they rest in peace - The love of my young life, my horse Max; his adopted brother Tom; Soccerates, the only cat who has ever liked me better than my sister, and thought he was a dog; Snowball, a cat who not only thought he was a dog was BIGGER than many dogs; and others too numerous to mention.



Other "family members" not of the human persuasion:



-Flik and Loki 2 enormous Iguanas

-Minnie, a sulcata tortoise that just keeps growing and getting more opinionated (and if you have never met an opinionated tortoise you are in for the surpise of your life! lol)

-Jasmine, the doddering elderly member of my immediate family. A 9.5 year old 130lb Newfoundland. I will never forget when I came home from college and met her for the first time. THe only things I could say were 1 - "WHY is there a swimming pool in the kitchen? (her water bowl) and 2) I thought that the horses lived OUTSIDE!



The NEWEST member of MY family!....



MOSCA! I recently put a deposit down on an Egyptian Uro with Lindsay Pike. I cannot WAIT until October when "he" will get to come home and meet me.



Whew, and that was the short list of animals in my life. lol.
