I like all of them but turtle. I mistake him for a collectible too often. I only have one cat family, and that's because I bought her for my first girl who was single till her mid-thirties. There are 10 generations of her family now, and it seems like the cat should belong solely to them.

My other two families have the dog. The dog got my vote, because he sticks so close to a peep when their wife/husband/mom or dad dies. Also when all the kids are gone and one parent is left alone he sticks to that peep like glue. I've found him to be a very loyal pet, and since the game has him do this surely the peeps are somewhat aware of his presence near them. If I could name him I guess I'd call him 'Old Yeller'. smile LOL!!!!!
