    Ah Children

    I must be a sucker when it comes to my daughters (and wife). Thanks to my suckerlike nature I now have 4 goslings residing in my house. I think things are beginning to look like Old MacDonalds farm (a duck, chickens, dogs, cats, horses, cows and now geese!) around here. Oh well, at least it keeps them happy.

    How many of you have the "zoo" factor?

    My wife and I have two wee dogs:

    Jack aka "Plankton", a chihuahua with the sweetest displacement I've ever seen in one. You wouldn't think he was a chihuahua by his less-than-characteristic attitude.


    Winston, our beloved Shih Tzu. If you dig around the forums there are some humorous posts about him.



    Then last Halloween we found this wee dinosaur sleeping on the sofa. We haven't seen him since.

    I do not have a wife nor do I have any children. I have six cats and a Venus's flytrap...
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    This is my third one. The last one was in a fish tank with a peat bog in the bottom. This one is still fairly small... It gets difficult to give them proper winter chill time when they are in a fish tank and large, but I'm working on that problem...

    In order of age from the oldest to the youngest, an African Grey parrot (Ruby), a shih tzu (Ginger Rose Li), a Karilian Bear dog (Bear), and a standard poodle (Monty).

    Not got the kiddies or the zoo factor yet. My first duty right now is caring for my wife who is not in good health, but maybe some day in the future there will be some wee kilties and their pets.....
