I won't have pix of #5 until next week when I get him. Here's the other 4, and their birdie friends. I have a feeling this topic might get moved to "Other pets" soon

We all need them like a hole in the head - it's hard to breathe and eat without those. My animals are my oxygen. What a miserable existence to only be surrounded by humans and man-made stuff - too many people are far too separated from the natural world and think that's the way life is supposed to be. Poor them.

beautiful babies.

hey, what kind of doggy is the bigger one one the bed. do they shed lots of tiny hairs?...not that it matters...i've got hair all over as it is. and what about temperment with kids and other animals? bark alot?

Looks like a great dog...and the others look precious too.

She's a 5 month old full-blooded American Pitbull...she looks different because I didn't dock her ears or tail. She's got a wonderfully loving spoiled personality, but is very much an inside dog because she ate my Buff Orpingtons. She doesn't shed much, and she plays very very nice with the tiny doggie under her.

I was thinking pit because of her big fat mug, but wasn't sure.

My friend had one and she was the sweetest thing.

I just tell whoever that, " I could have worse habits"

yep... hear it all the time. I have 8 kids, 3 dogs, 3 cats, 53 chickens, 8 turkeys, and 125 quail eggs in the bator. I'm not finished. I want to adopt one more child and I have two dozen more chicken eggs to go in the bator tomorrow.

As for the children? I have a huge house, love kids, and have the means to support them, though I'm not rich. I've spent the last 51 years learning how to make ends meet.

As for the chickens... well gotta feed the kids and what better to feed them than fresh eggs and an occasional hormone-free chicken dinner? The children all help with the pets and chickens. They're learning responsibility and lots of life-lessons.

I could care less what people think and most folks who know me think I've lost it. I probably have

I hear it all the time and I don't think we really have that many. 2 dogs, 1 cat, 3 guinea pigs, 3 fish, and 16 chickens and fostering one dog at a time. I think my MIL's remarks irritate me the most. "You know you really didn't have to have three dogs!" I had three at the time. Yeah I didn't have to have three kids either but I do. I say no I didn't have to have them but I chose to. I can see people feeling that way if you are overwhelmed or can not financially care for them but I think some people feel if you do not choose the same lifestyle that they have somehow there is something wrong with you.

Don't worry about what other people say. Read Aesop's fable "The Miller, His Son, and Their Donkey" or something like that. (It has been years since I read it.)

I forgot to say what a great looking bunch you have!
