Our Zoo!!!!

I am starting to feel like we have a zoo in our house! We definitely need a house in the country with MORE space then what we have now. Growing up, as some of you may remember, I wanted EVERY single animal that I ever layed eyes on. I wanted cats, dogs, birds, monkeys, hamsters and any other rodent, I wanted them all. I even ended up with a few "pet" mice to my mom's dismay. She was not happy about me bringing those home. She always told me, "I hope you find a husband someday who likes animals as much as you do." ...and to that I would answer, "I wouldn't marry him if he didn't!"....well that time has come....

Now, I am in my mom's shoes....saying, "no more animals". Of course, I love every animal I see still, but something changes when you are the MOM taking care of EVERYONE else. Jeovany, likes animals as much as I do, perhaps more....and we keep ending up with MORE and MORE somehow. I protest every animal that comes our way, but somehow several of them have ended up staying despite my best efforts! Yes, I love them all. I will say on his behalf, he does take care of them exceptionally well!!. But wow, what a housefull!! We love our babies!!!

I thought this week that we would highlight our family pets. Hope you enjoy seeing them!

This is Coconut. He is 8 months old and is Jazmyn's baby. Literally,he thinks that Jazmyn bore him I believe. He follows her everywhere and cries when she is not home. She went to Grandma and Grandpa's one night last week and you would have thought he was walking around the house in pain...crying for her. It really is ridiculous. He even sucks on her shirt as if he were nursing. Perhaps we weaned him a bit too early! He also loves water unlike any other cat I have ever seen.....here he is sleeping in the bathroom sink.

...and we have fish in a beautiful 55 gallon aquarium, 7 fish actually, Goldie, Nemo, Elmo, Sharky, Ninja, Bubbles, and Sucker. They are fun to watch and believe it or not they do have personalities! I'll spare you their stories this time!

This is "Pappy" and "Montana". The Papillion we have had the longest of all of our pets. We got him when I was pregnant with Jazmyn. He is a wonderful dog, great with the kids and the other pets! The cockatiel, Montana is about a year old and we have had her about 4 months. Fun Fun!!! I told you it truly is turning into a zoo.....


And here is our newest addition, in the center...."ANGEL". She is a soon to be one year old Pure bread German Shepherd. This is my most recent "PROTEST". LOL...we certainly did not "need" a big dog. However, my husband rescued her in order to "find her a good home."...uh-huh...sure!!! Grudgently he took her to the home of one of the many people who called wanting her. But I ended up going back and getting her as I was not at all fond of her new location. Also that decision to go get her was made easier by the constant sad stares from my husband. He really missed her as they had really bonded in the 2 days we had her. Long story short.....she is our newest addition. She is such a sweet dog though and VERY well behaved. I am so glad we have her...she is a wonderful addition to our family. She knew she was ours from the minute she came home!

The Yorkie is SYMON, we have had him for 2 years, another rescued animal. He had been abused and came to us as a pup with broken ribs. Isn't his little face precious. He is so cute!! Now, if he could just control the pee!

Here is Jazmyn with her kitty again!

and last but not least is our big kitty, ASIA. This was Jazmyn's 2nd birthday present. She is a beautiful cat of gray,yellow and white with really long thick cotton like hair that gets everywhere! Good thing I LOVE cats more than anything else! It took a few months for Coconut and her to bond but they are now great friends!

Hope you have enjoyed the journey through our ZOO!!!! Have a great weekend!!!
