Growing up, the only pets we were allowed to have were birds and fish. I usually ended up 'adopting' neighborhood cats or dogs. It was a fairly common occurrence for a dog to follow me home. I always found it's home and was able to return it.
I got an aquarium when I was in high school. I kept fish until I went off to college. When I ended up living with friends, there were cats. At the height, I was living with 9 cats.
When I became homeless, I promised myself that I would try to find a place that would let me have pets. When I met edith, before she even told me her name, I decided that I would do everything I could to give her a home when I found one for myself.
I moved in the beginning of the month, and brought edith home before I even bought groceries. We've been happy in our new home ever since. I'm looking forward to her having the babies. I just wish I could keep them all.

I wish you could keep them too. I have a neighbors cat (he's an outdoor cat) who's been coming around every day. Our neighbor is in a retirement center. She loves that cat so I told her son Patrick we would watch out for Toby. He has a little nook right beside the wood bin. I don't think my kitties like him they stand right up making these growling sounds when I'm outside with him looking through the glass doors.

I think he's just looking for a fight, or to get a rise out of us. My guess is that he has an issue with some of the dog people here (dog/pets experts and those with dog avies).

Okay Heath, when are the kitties due? I can't believe anyone would say that about people who love dogs. How many years of college do you have? You seem awfully smart.

I'm not sure, but they should come soon. I don't think she can get any rounder.
I've completed 4 years of college, but I still have a year's worth of classes before I can get my BFA in visual arts. Right now, I owe money before I can go back.

That's great! My youngest graduates in may from college. Communication and Music. She's going to grad school next fall and I guess then she'll decide what she's going to do. She is a really good girl. You'll do great! Isn't visual arts something photograpy? I know you can be a painter or an sculptor. That would be one great thing to be able to do. I have trouble with my hands on the computer keys.Later

It can be. In my case. It's mostly ceramics. I like photography and multi-media work, though.

Not surprised to see the Troll avy by your name.
So, why are you here, just want to rile people up?
I'd suggest trying to answer questions, ask questions, or at least stop insulting people if you want to stay. If you keep doing what you're doing, well, I'll say good bye now.
AMHD is a great site but you can't go around being a jerk if you want to be a part of it. We don't tolerate that. Okay?

They each have dogs or cats except for our youngest who is in her last year of College. She always bring tthe kitties a treat when she comes home.
Good night:):)
Next year I'll be going to college, for Human Services and a concentration in Addiction Counselling. And the only way I'm moving into an apartment is if they accept animals. I have Rex(Siberian Husky), Princess and Sox(cats), Shadow(Ferret), and my aquarium full of fish, frogs and eels.
I'm kind of worried about taking my cats, as right now they are indoor/outdoor, but if I were to move away they would have to be indoors all the time.They aren't even litter trained, if thy need to go out the cry at the door( their better house trained then my bros 4yrs old black lab ;) )

WoW ,you have a busy life! That's great! You have your work cut out for you. I'm sure you'll find an apartment that will accommodate
Your babies. Sox, what a cute name. Siberian Huskies are so beautiful and sweet.

k, I got one, how about when you saw the legs of an old couch at your camp, because your dog is very arthritic, and had a hard time getting up on the normal couch and it's too hard for him to get from the down and up position from the floor. Or how about when you carpet the stairs so they can go down stairs, even though there is nothing they could possibly want down there unless they are planning on doing laundry??

That is so sweet Bella! How about when you're all dressed to go to Church and the dog makes a run in your last pair of dark stockings. You take the stockings off change into slacks and hug the dog!

Yes, that's a good one. Or when you are wearing those black pants that are like a lint trap, and they come up and decide at the last minute to wipe their eye boogers on your pant leg, and then lick the other leg? Well at least both legs match now!

When any clothes that fur DOESN'T stick to become your favorites, no matter how much you really don't like them. And you seriously consider buying several more (on in each color).
