I'll look forward to seeing you on the site. :)

I myself have 2 dogs, a rescued border collie cross named Jasper, and a beagle named Chewy. I also have 4 bunnies, a bird, and 2 fish (the fish are free to a good home, I'll deliver ;)).

Hahaha! I got a good chuckle out of that one!

I LOVE the name Chewy for a beagle... it's so fitting! I used to take care of a bunny regularly, her name was Buttercup and she was a lop eared bunny... so sweet! What kind of bird do you have? My boyfriend (who is also an avid bird watcher) actually just got me a day lilly with a little blue beta fish in the bowl... he seems to enjoy swimming through the roots!

Congrats! So glad everything worked out! And ironically, I have been a veterinary tech for going on 11 years :) Besides my 3 rowdy boys and a surprise baby on the way we have a collie, a yorkie and a ragdoll kitten! It's a party Haha

Thank you very much!

No wonder why we all hit it off! Lol!! Aw, do they all snuggle? Big and little, I like that! Do you know if you're having a boy or girl yet?

I'm starting on the Nuvaring in a couple of days by the way, do you have any advice about it? I know you said you used it correctly, but besides not using it, is there anything you would've done differently? (Would waiting a little longer after the monthly gift (=P) make it more effective in that way?)

Oh yes they all snuggle but the little yorkie is the boss! She thinks she's big stuff! No we don't know what we're having yet, praying for a girl because this is for sure our last! But hopefully we'll know in a couple of weeks! I would use a condom with it just in case. Supposedly I'm in the .1% but since becoming pregnant on it I've had several people tell me they got pregnant on it. Who knows if they were using it correctly but still, not as effective as you'd think! Just be as careful as you can be. You're a smart girl :)

Chewy is the perfect name for him. He chews everything! I should have named him "Goodboy". ;)

I have a cockatiel. She was given to us by a guy my husband works with. They loved her a lot, but they found out his son is extremely allergic, so they had to re-home her. She's a great bird. Her name is Marty.

The bunnies are Cotton, Thumper, Oreo and Kilala. Yes, the kids named them. :)

The fish, well, we have a goldfish that cost 27 cents, the pet store swore it would only live 2 weeks. We got it for my daughter when she was 2 because she really wanted a pet. We figured a goldfish was perfect. Short life, not a lot of maintenance. By the time it died she'd have forgotten all about it. Well, my daughter is now 9, and the goldfish is still alive. We got him a friend, a little bottom feeder guy. They've been happily living together in a 20 gallon tank for the last 5 years. Nothing else will live in there. We've tried because 2 fish in a 20 gallon tank is pathetic! Everything else dies, even other goldfish.

He's huge! My husband jokes that if he outgrows this tank, like he did all the others, then we're going to eat him. ;)

The little ones ALWAYS do! That's so cute though! I hope you have a girl too, Mommy needs girly time. So many boys!

Good idea, at least some of the time anyway (I also still want to preserve a little of the spontaneity). I'm definitely going to use it correctly to the letter as well! Thank you!

Alty, cockatiels are beautiful. That's a shame with the allergies -- a lot of animals end up homeless because of that, but Marty was very lucky.

Aw they're buddies! No outsiders allowed! That's really strange though. Lil' Blue is my first fish ever, so this should be an experience. My boyfriend has a tank full of Cichlids and one pretty good sized sucker fish, they've had a bunch of babies in there and he hasn't lost any. Pretty cool!

So your daughter is the one taking care of the fish, right Mom? (; Huge enough for two? Haha!
