I had 5 dogs, 2 turtles and 4 birds.

right now that number has dwindled down to 3 dogs, 2 turtles and 2 birds.

Reasons of death: One dog kills the other and one dog died of internal hemorrhaging in his brain. That dog suffered from epileptic attacks for 2 hours straight with a one minute pause between attacks before it died.
The other dog suffered 3 broken ribs and one sprained rib, a damaged nervous system which led to her not being able to walk properly anymore and a loss of apatite which lead to weight loss. after about 4 weeks of recovering she finally succumbed to death.

the 2 birds is a totally different story. Our maid forgot to feed them, told us she did feed them, which led to us not feeding them, which led to their death.

But! We currently bought a new puppy because we really need the guard dogs.
