I have four pets.
One of them is a Canis lupus familiaris, also known as Man's Best Friend. Her name is Osa and she loves to eat loaves of bread off of our counter.
The other three pets are something a bit more exciting. I have three bee hives in my back yard. It is true that I have about 250,000 bees in my yard but each individual isn't much of a pet. They only live for a few weeks and their individual lives aren't that exciting. Work, work, work. The hive as a whole though, it can live forever. It can be upset, happy, sick, or tired. Each hive has its own personality that I have to learn and work with. As far as pets go, they are very cool.
So, your pets are 1 organism and 3 superorganism? That's an interesting way of looking at it.
