Not banded...I know each and every one's coloring, markings & personality. Sweet Pea & Violet are the hardest to tell apart but once I see a face, I know who it is.Do you have those girls leg banded so you can tell them apart?
I am an admitted animal lover...I cried when a babysitter made me let my "pet salamander" go when I was 6. When I was 7 and asked to draw a picture of what I wanted to be in the future, I drew a zookeeper sweeping straw from an elephant enclosure. I took all my small town science department's critters (hamsters, gerbils, etc.) home every end of school year. I was the kid in North Dakota who ordered a hermit crab (Seymour) out of the back of a comic book in the middle of winter and tended to him for 6 yrs. I used my teenage job earnings to take my tomcat, Funky, to the vet more times than I can count to have him stitched up after fights with who knows what. At 16, I decided to become an optometrist and I did. I practiced in the civilian sector & in the USAF. Now, as an older, wiser woman...I am working on becoming the zookeeper who lived in my 7 yr old heart (currently 5 dogs, 2 cats, 8 chicks).
