certainly cheaper.

you got that right, but definitely easier to control your colours. It was worth it. Very interesting piece.

I've seen small to medium size dogs: over a shoulder, around the neck, sitting on the shoulder, in a backpack w/head resting on shoulder or fore arms resting on shoulder , in a purse of sorts under an arm or what not among the many ways to be "accessories on the human".... A bird on a shoulder camo'd in her lockes; then there was a lizard wrapped around a braid and purched partially atop her head as well(different lady).

Years ago, I had a tiny Shih Tzu who went everywhere with me. She had her own purse - a little hobo bag - and would happily jump into it whenever we were going somewhere. I would zip her up to her neck, with just her little head sticking out and she'd ride anywhere I wanted to go - quiet and still. She was silky and fuzzy, so everyone thought I had a pom pom on my bag. I was dealing with PTSD at the time and she was my safety net - an ESA before they had an official designation! I just kept my mouth shut and let people believe what they thought they saw - but I WAS careful about where I took her - sanitation is important!

I'll never forget the reaction when "The Pom Pom" smelled french fries behind the counter at the liquor store and turned those huge, round eyes to see where the wonderful smell was coming from. The kid at the register lost it! I thought we were in trouble when I realized his "hysterical fear" was actually laughter. The poor kid couldn't breathe! From then on ... and for nearly ten years, any time I went in to get lottery tickets, ice, party booze, whatever, I was always asked about The Pom Pom. To this day, it still makes me smile. I will always have a Shih-Tzu shaped hole in my heart ... and yes, I still have her bag!

I only take Mason in the feed store. He likes going for a ride so
I take him sometimes if we don't have to stop anywhere else. They are always moving the pig ears around to different places in there, He likes to look for them.

That's pretty much the only place I take mine, now, too - there and the hardware store. Ours has a "dog-friendly" sign right out front and a bulletin board for pictures. When DS worked there, I actually took a very fluffy, white Silkie in, once. That was years ago - and the manager still reminds me about it when he sees me. He'd never seen a "Puppy Chicken" before!

So, there's this place nearby that started out doing pony rides but now has lots of other animals like cows, ducks, chickens, donkeys, exotic birds, ect. I saw they also had this large shed like thing that had some rabbits, mice, and maybe some other animals. All being kept in quite horrible condition. All the other animals looked well taken care of but these were in tent tiny cages with no hay, limited water, and no toys. Recently I've been doing a lot of research in rabbits and I'm now writing an article on them. Well, now I was thinking I could save up a bunch of money to help renovate that area. I was thinking I could clean everthing out, empty the room, bunny proof, setup some playpens (unless I could bond them all), get lots of toys and hidey houses, tunnels, decorate it and maybe paint it (before ofc), an setup how ever many large tanks for the mice and rats. I'll have to do more research on them but I know there needs to be at least a couple of them together. And really big cages. Then I'll show them how to properly care for them all.

Two problems though, 1) I'm not sure how how to get the money exactly, 2) I'm a bit young..

Any ideas?

Most youth organizations have provisions for service projects of that scale - including fund-raising. Are you a member of Scouts or 4H? If not, do you know someone who is? It would make an awesome Eagle, Gold or Clover Award Project. You would be a great resource for them - and part of the labor they're supposed to recruit.
The other option is to approach the owners and offer to do the planning and labor if they'll supply the materials. However you approach them, be sure to make it positive ... as in, "Everything else hear looks so nice and the animals look so happy. I'd love to help you fix up the small animals are, too. If you supply the materials, I'll donate my time!"
If they let you, let us know. I'll be happy to share ideas on how to get youth organizations (and pet stores!) to help with donations. I'm sure others here have good ideas, too - and you could write a cool article about it for BYC - complete with pictures!
