Here are some pictures of our pets today. They are all useless, but all loved.
Nala is a skittish little thing. She is getting friendlier all the time, but is still skeptical around us. We love her, and we're happy when she's happy...in a shoe box...wishing we would all leave her alone, and quit taking pictures.
Simba is more of a dog than a cat. He is the coolest. He will do anything for a treat, and he loves his owner (Natalie) dearly. He sleeps with her most every night.
Hawkeye was a gift to Kevin, but has turned into my dog. He loves the whole family, but I'm his person. He is mostly Australian Shepherd, so he "herds" us regularly. If we are scattered through the house, he paces until we're all in the same room, then he collapses. It's hard work, keeping a family all in the same room!
The aquarium holds some of my favorite pets, but they are more neglected than the rest. They don't bark, meow, pace, or whine. Therfore, they live in a tank that needs cleaned most of the time. Today, we cleaned my aquarium, and the sharks are SO happy.
Yes, we have sharks. They are docile, fresh water sharks. We have three of them, and they are all different sizes. They are way-cool to watch, and the plecostomus that lives with them is twice the size of the largest shark, yet demands much less.
Yeah, we have cool pets. I love my pets. I could live without the hair, algea, litter boxes and pet food, but I can live WITH those things, too. All for the thrill that comes from watching these amazing creatures. Maybe I should get a ferret? Or a bird? Or an Emu?
Probably not.
The taco party at Mom's was awesome! Pat and Charlene are doing quite well, and we had a great visit. My bad week had a good ending. Thanks, Mom.

I loved seeing your pets. Funny how cats like small boxes. I bet Hawkeye had a ball with Sadie. I bet she showed him around the farm! And the sharks...OMG!! Your tank looks SO COOL! You are the only one I have ever known that has sharks.

Enjoyed the pet pics. The fur babes in our life is special...oh yeah and the slime babes too (lol). Hubby George wants an aquarium in the new house. That's fine if he cleans it and keeps it up. I had betas for a while and loved it but then life got real busy..so when they died I gave them up.
Have a good week. Tacos...yum...we'll have to have that soon...
