Mom’s Musings

Thirteen Pets We Have Had (or still have):

• Dogs (Currently, just our old doggie Lassie. Our girls are hoping for a new puppy. This is a test to see if Daddy reads this blog.)
  
• Cats (The neighborhood cats who run away from home, or never had a home, come here to be fed, loved, and fixed.)
  
• Cockatiel (The most lovable, personable bird I ever met.)
  
• Parakeets (Never really got a friendly one.)
  
• Finches (Messy!)
  
• Goldfish (My husband’s outdoor goldfish receive royal treatment.)
  
• Gerbils (Many. At one time. Interesting! Update: Our daughter who cared for the gerbils will tell you how many we had.)
  
• Hamsters (My favorite was named Precioso. We kept his habitat in our bedroom, and I grew to enjoy the noise of his squeaky wheel at night. Very tame and friendly critter.)
  
• Guinea Pigs (Habitats require DAILY cleaning. Very stinky little critters.)
  
• Rabbits (We are partial to lop-eared bunnies.)
  
• Ducks (Indian Running Ducks are fun; have you ever seen them?)
  
• Chickens (The prettiest chickens, in my opinion, are the Auracana breed. The plumage can be a variety of colors, and they lay blue eggs.)
  
• Toggenburg goats (Just two of them, a momma named Nanny – of course – and her kid.)
