PS - I have left space and if u have a fav of animal thats not on these lists plz let me know and I will check out as soon as I can, that means u might have an animal that u like on these lists. Thats the same with the big cat and big dog blog I am running with any spaces on it. I guess I am trying to say we might be alike in our fav animal choices. If anyone doesnt agree with these lists plz let me know ok.
