Other than my Rhode and Robin, guinea pig sisters with short tortoiseshell fur (black, red, and white), I also have Leo, a golden-brown dwarf hamster.
In the past, I had two red-slider turtles (Active Mighty Torty I and Torty II; I was in Gr 3-4, I believe), some fish, and two hamsters (Blaster I had white-golden fur, and Blaster II had grey-white fur; they were named after the main character of a story I wrote back then). The reason for "I" and "II" for my turtles and hamsters was because "I" passed away and mom got me another one.
Personally, I believe that I have a better naming sense now.
Unlike the pets I had in the past, I had bought Leo, Rhode and Robin from people who no longer wanted them, instead of buying them from a pet store. Also, I had bought Leo, Rhode, and Robin using my own money, and I would be their caretaker, not my mom.
