When did we become the pet store???? What's next? I swear, no more pets. At least, not indoor pets.

Fasty and Slowy? Lol - I love those names! What kind of cichlids are they?
I think you need a bird. None of your pets can fly.
Definately, your household is trending to a-pet-in-every-corner status.
I'm trying to remember the most number of pets we ever had at one time. I think it was 2 dogs (collie and newfoundland), 3 cats, 2 cockatiels, 2 painted turtles, a green anole (little lizard), 3 of those little rodents that are smaller than hamsters (I am blanking on their species name. Our "hunter" cat killed them one-by-one in a summer of serial pet tragedies), and a hermit crab.
NO!!! No birds!!! I have enough creatures that make noise.
Turtles and hermit crabs...*sigh* I fear those will be next.
Gerbils? We looked at those, but the hamsters were cuter.
Gerbils! That's it.
good grief, hon, just say NO!
I'm the bitch mommy because I don't do pets anymore. We have an inside/outside dog and two fish in addition to a slew of creatures out at our farm. When the dog and the fish are gone, I refuse to have any more pets. I am just not an animal person.
Oh shit...let's not even count the animals at the farm. A black Lab, an indoor/outdoor cat, a barn cat and anywhere from 80-110 cattle at any given time.
And no is the problem. I said no after the dog, cat and 2 fish. They figured out a way around it - saving their allowances and birthday money to get the animals they want. *sigh* Guess that's what I get for trying to teach them about saving money and learning responsibility.
Actually, it's not that bad. I don't mind the animals really. I'm just feeling slightly outnumbered by four legged critters.
*snort* You could start charging admission to your petting zoo.
And I thought we were bad with four cats.
I like the names! *runs off to buy stock in pet food companies*
