Okay so you're probably going to think my family owns a zoo but I swear we're not that crazy! Well, maybe but shhhhhh. Don't reveal that I'm crazy.
House One (mom, mother's fiancee, and little sister): Here we have 5 pets. The first we got was our cats, Sox and Shadow. Both male cats, Sox and Shadow were originally Todd and Thomas but my father's name is Thomas so we had to change Thomas's (Shadow) name and Todd ended up coming to us when we talked about socks and with the white fur on his paws, he looked like he was wearing socks (the rest of him save for a few places are black). However, the brothers are old and Sox can no longer walk correctly and just looking at his hind, you can tell he is very sick but not ready to die yet. Unlike Shadow, Sox started out only liking me and there was a joke that we bonded so easily because we are the Devil Daughter and Devil Kitty. Later, he came to accept the rest of the family living here and my "baby" sister but he does not like anyone else.
Shadow was harder to change the name of until one night in the middle of the night when only my sister, mom, and I lived together, there was a really bad storm and we all slept in the same bed. Shadow joined us and in the middle of the night as he was laying on my chest (I was closest to the wall), he noticed his shadow on the wall and started playing with it. It woke everyone up and we agreed he looked like he was dancing with his shadow so we named him Shadow Dancer (Shadow for short). He has always been playful and lovable but he would kill for his family.
Next we have Molly, or as she prefers to respond to: Princess. She always has to be laying on a fluffy spot (pillow,person, or really nice blanket). She is the only female and likes to take advantage of that. She also has a bionic tongue which likes to constantly lick people, especially in the face and she absolutely loves snuggles. She is a purebreed, rescue Shih Tzu.
Next we have Gizmo. He doesn't prefer anyone except me and my mother. He loves snuggling with either of us two and whimpers whenever we aren't paying attention to him but he doesn't care for anyone else unless neither me or my mother is around. He is my puppy though he is a bit older. When we got him, he'd been clearly abused by his owners, his shortest hair dragging across the ground, his nails bent into his pads and stuck there, and he was truly afraid of people. He refused to come near anyone but when I came outside hearing there was a puppy out there, I sat down on the ground and the moment our eyes met, our hearts were bound to each other and he came straight over to me not even hesitating for a moment but he hid pushing into me when anyone else tried to come close. He is my baby and I love him so dearly I could never allow anyone hurt him again and he would protect me and my family with his life if he had to. He won't even let a guy come near me without him near me too. Gizmo is a purebreed, rescue Lasso Apso.
Then we have Bailey. He is my sister's dog, bonded very closely with her. I couldn't tell you as much about him as the others, simply that he is the quiet one and from the same litter as Molly. We got him last.
House Two (dad, step-mom, baby sister): He we have a ton of fish, a turtle, and a pit bull/boxer mix and three cats.
