I am exactly the opposite. I am not allowed at either the Humane Society or the local pet shop without adult supervision.

*whispering*
I hear you. My husband hits the gas harder whenever we drive past it. He had a woman in one of his classes who manages a cat shelter here in town. She used to torment him by saying "bring your wife down to see it!" (I never got to see it...but frankly, my husband is just as big a sap as I am and he adores cats.)


Newton and Rolo...my oldest daughter lives in Maine. My "grandpuppy" is a huge, purebred black German Shepherd. She trains them. She's even trained a few police dogs.

hahaha, we'd be a dangerous pair. :P

I have Zoe, a brindle English Mastiff and now her puppy, a male fawn named Oz.

We used to have boxers before our mastiffs...and guinea pigs, too...but not right now.

A Leopard Gecko - Missy, she's currently in the "cryogenics chamber (freezer)" until the pet shop gets thier next shipment in.

Ah, Toni, I know how you feel. We've had a *lot* of rodents. Regrettably short lived, those little critters.

Now you may understand why I'm no lover of animals. They don't last 5 minutes.

Well, you have to chose your animals carefully. People who buy parrots had better put something in their will about who will get the animal, because most of them will outlive you.

Our oldest cat died this year. She was 18.

I think hamsters only have a lifespan of 2-3 years at best. Rats live a little bit longer and make great pets. (They won't walk off the edge of the table like a hamster or a mouse will.)
