Oh Janet: Your babies sound prescious. The names I'm sure fit. But Mr. Potato Head is a scream. The last one can't get the name but he's the one that has made you laugh for the last four years sounds very special . If I ever travel I have been worried about the kids. I would really love to read your past post about your pets. I am holding my biggest baby. It is a little black schnauzer named Abby. I have something about that name, dolls named Abby, Teddy Bears named Abby, oh well I have this couple that I know. She bought her husband this little black schnauzer weighing in at 2 lbs. Runt of the litter. He commented to me one night that they couldn't keep her. I said I'll be over in the morning with husband. She fit into the curve of my hand. I was in love. So was my husband. She is so smart, cute, she goes camping, plays dead, can you tell I'm attached. We than bought a silver schnauzer, that we appropriately named Bandit. She steals everything. Food is her favorite and it doesn't matter if it is garbage or good stuff. Now the other side of the coin We have Fred (pre-2nd marriage) Now this guy is so big. He loves to lay across the loungers back. He is red tiger and likes popcorn, ice cream, ham, turkey but these are fresh. He talks in short little meow bursts, sits on the vanity in bathroom, likes to watch you brush your teeth also sense he loves fresh water he gets a dixie cup full. He is the best cat I have every had. Then his sister Ethyl: She is somewhat of a bitch. Sorry, she runs the herd and jumps on them from above. She beats them with her paws what a sight. She cannot stand it when her food dish is showing the bottom. It has high sides of food but the little spot at the bottom drives her crazy. She is just now becoming more social. My husband was not real thrilled with cats but he wanted me so my cats came to.LOL Ethyl loves him. She follows him around the house. Sits in his lap and generally makes him cater to her. The cats are 9 years old. Brother/Sister liter mates Abby is 6 years old Bandit is 4 years old. I know how you feel about the babies. I have had a Rat named Vinnie, nicest pet. They are great and he helped me overcome my fear of rodents. I have had a HedgeHog named Toby. I had him for a long time and he just quite eating and died. I also had a dwarf Hamster (acutally I had 3 - Lotus, Mercedes, and Porsche) No one explained that hamsters are not colony animals, so Porsche killed Mercedes and when Porsche started on Lotus he was out back to Pet store. I am wondering because all of these last group died a few months ago. My husband took pity on me and bought a Guinia Pig. She does not like me and the thing I think is because I shake so much. Oh well thank you so much for sharing your pets with me. They are my family. So much unconditional stuff that it is great. My one friend here stated that if she dies she wants to come back as my pet. I guess that means that get good care. Aren't we lucky to have found these gifts and the love they give back it wonderful.
