I am curious...anyone else sharing their homes with an animal pal?

We have Jersey, 2, a mixed breed dog. She's about 50 lbs and SO sweet.

Dixie, 2, a grey and white cat with 7 toes on her front feet.

Dakota, 2 months, black kitty with white markings

Anyone else?

You have RATTIES ????? Oh, Furry you MUST email me...I have worked for vets, in wildlife centers (with two cougars, a mink, porcupine, red-tail hawk, barred owl, flying squirrels, ferrets, skunks, bats, parrots, cornsnakes, and a crow.

Cornsnakes are lovely things. Rusty used to sit IN my pants.

Thumper the quill pig would eat peanuts from my lips and always tried to hump an available leg. He loved to be held, too. Not an easy feat with 28 pounds of prickles.

The Skunk Sisters were my favorites. They were outrageously cute and fat as hell. They have monkey feet, too. Weird.

Slinky (mink) used to chase me and shred the ankles of my pants.

Abby and Darby (cougars) were raised by us at a few weeks old.

Athena the Cockatoo was severly attached to me, and I to her. I also used to have a cherry headed Conure, Kaz, short for Kamikaze. I rescued him from a neglectful owner and spent weeks working with him, trimming an overgrown beak. We bonded to the point he would get out of his cage in the morning, waddle up the bed spread, sit on my pillow and PUT HIS EYE RIGHT UP TO MINE and whisper "Hello".

I'm going to cry now bewcause I miss him. I moved into an apartment where no pets were allowed and gave him to a good home. The guilt I feel kills me.

I used to play with frogs, toads, bugs, and even found a praying mantis one time.

Let's have rat chat sometime, and read my profile about my silly bags of hair.
