1. Do you have other pets besides your aquarium pets and if so what are they? Yes. We have a dog named Tucson (Welsh Springer Spaniel) and a cat named Angelo (Black and White Tuxedo)
2. In terms of "affection" how do other pets differ from your aquarium pets? Dog sleeps next to us, goes on walks, hangs-out with us, goes with us to restaurants (outside seating). He is also a certified therapy dog and visits patients (Pre-covid) in the hospital. Tucson also had a stage role in the play "Shakespeare in Love". Cat purrs and shows affection but generally is self-sufficient.

Willie Nelson - Super Pastel Ball Python
Murphy - Mutt, 6 or 7 breeds. I'd have to look at the results again.

Louie- 110lbs of “I do what I want!”
Brazillian rainbow boa - he’s not exactly a social butterfly.
Odin- this picture is exactly who he is. Great buddy to have.
Jasmine here was too busy warding off the neighbors “evil” weenie dog to have her picture taken. This too is exactly who she is.

I have my cat Mackerel. He's adorable and loves watching the clownfish. ;Penguin He gets jealous if I spend too much time watching the tank and not playing with him! The vet says he is a tabby/bengal cross, adopted him 3 years ago from a PetSmart adoption weekend event, he was 6 months old and living in someone's garage.

I want more!!!
Our dog Teddy (Yorkie that we keep cut like a Schnauzer), Hammy the hamster, and just today I ordered 2 hatchling Leopard Tortoises! Hopefully they arrive Tuesday for a lifetime of fun.
My son has a couple of Russian tortoises named Dumbo and Timothy. They’re boring.
We have 2 Birman cats- Pretzel and Gadget, both age 5. Pretzel is antisocial with everyone but us. Gadget will let anyone do anything with him, including wearing clothes and going for stroller rides. He’s adorable but dumb as a box of rocks lol. They weigh about 9 pounds each. Perfect size for a Birman.
Then there’s my buddy Titan. He’s a full blood Maine Coone and turned a year old in Jan. This cat is the most amazing animal I’ve ever been around. He’s smart as a whip, acts like a dog but has the convenience of not having to walk him or take him out to potty. He climbs in bed with me every night and nudges my phone out of my hand (if I have it) and nudges my hands until I will rub his face and scratch his neck. When he’s done with that he will sit quietly between us and watch full TV shows with us, never sleeping or getting bored...actually watching the screen. If he hears any noise in the house he will stand up like a meer cat on his back haunches and watch the door intently to make sure no one intrudes. He’s so smart! If you’re considering a cat for your family definitely get a Maine Coon, you won’t regret it. They’re worth every penny!!! Titans dad weighed 27 pounds and he weighs just over 15 pounds at 1 year old. Maine Coons don’t reach their adult size until age 5.
I don’t have pics of the Birman’s on my phone as I cleaned out all my pics recently. Here is Titan from October 2019 and him now. The last pic is one I would like to add to our family some day
ETA I found a picture Gadget, the seal point Birman and one of Pretzel as a kitten. He a chocolate Birman.
