(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. I have a wonderful supportive husband who is becoming a pro at coop/pen building, 4 children, 1 corn snake (He was abandoned when child 2 went off to college) and a female sugar glider. I work for Phillips 66 in Finance and love my time chillin with my feathered babies. I would like to venture into honey bees and some other preservation activities.
