In the past we've had goats, rabbits, dogs, and a cockatiel. We've "pet sat" school pets over summer breaks and taken in other people's pets, including frogs, snakes, hedgehogs, lizards, gerbils, rats, guinea pigs, finches, sea horses, turtles, tadpoles, and various insects, such as Monarch caterpillars and praying mantis.
One of my daughters grew up to be a vet tech
. Now what I used to have and can't get these days is silkies. It's like they've gone out of favor in this area.
