My favorite big pet was Annapolis, a wonderful horse that I used to ride while taking horseback riding lessons. He was as ornory as the day was long but if you brought lots of carrots (10+ pounds) of carrots, he was as sweet as pie. He really disliked other horses and didn't want to be near any other horse. He would snap at them or worse..try to bite or kick but to me as the rider, he was so gentle and faithful and always wanted to please.

My favorite furry pet would be my King Kitty. He is so sweet and tolerant, even though his 17 (18 years next month) years of life have been adventurous, from being born in the wild as a feral kitten to becoming our scittish pet who would hide on the closet shelve anytime the doorbell would ring, to being a laid back fat cat, expecting the world to stop and pet him any time he meows, day or night
