Growing up, we always had cats, guniea pigs, hamsters, newts, toads, strays, but as my sister and I grew older, we only had the kitty cats. At most, they have only had 3 cats in the house. I moved out on my own, and took in a stray dog (Rosco), then that led to my kitty (Lucas), who we rescued from a friend's home, she had too many cats and I wanted a kitten(boyfriend said no way jose on the kitten), so we ended up bringing Lucas home. My boyfriend has two corn snakes, a savannah monitor, and feeder mice, then we started up a fish tank and have a bunch of fishies, and then in Feb. we got the puppy. So total we have 2 dogs, a cat, fish, 2 snakes, and a monitor. My mother says my house is a zoo or a farm, which I don't think it is. The funny part is, X-mas eve, my boyfriend and I were at my parents house, with Rosco, and my mom and I got were on our 2nd bottle of wine, and we got into a pretty heated argument about getting the puppy. She said that I had too many pets, blah blah blah, it's so much responsibility, it's going to cost a lot of money and money is tight for me, blah blah blah etc etc etc. We both ended up in tears and I told her no matter what she says, I am getting a puppy. So my father, finding out what a large dog Zander is going to be full grown said that no monster is going to be allowed in his house so when I come to visit Zander has to stay at my house. I said yeah ok, so now, whenever I go to visit them or they come to visit me, my mother cuddles and loves Zander and spoils him rotten, he gets a new toy every time he sees her, and my father always says that Zander is going to stay with him and what a cool dog he is and how proud he is of Zander because he is such a good listener and can do so many tricks. It's funny
All my friends say I'm crazy for having so many pets, but it's great because furkids love you no matter what kind of day you have had or how broke you are, they see you and their faces light up and you know you will always be loved
Who cares what anyone says about how crazy you are or how many pets you have, you know that when you get home at the end of the day, you will be smothered with kisses and love.
