good heavens, i'm afraid this is going to be a BOOK - but you can't blame me for not wanting to leave any of my children out.
here goes..
*tippy turtle has been with me for nearly seven years now. i got him when he was just a wee little thing for $4.50 and he's been growing ever since.
*jane guinea pig is nearly four years old. black with a white stripe up her back, kindof like a little skunk.
*meryl hermie crab was a gift from my bff, cloudsoup<3.
*gary snail is meryl hermie crab's roomate.
*i have seven dogs: elaine is a huge german shepherd/golden retriever mix. she's extremely intimidating to look at, but a big softie at heart - super duper shy and spooks easily. moose and bubba are brothers - black lab/dalmation mixes. they're goofy as can be. louie is my big baybeh<3. he's a biggg black lab with a huge, bushy tail that constantly wags. freckles is a dalmation that just showed up at the house one day and never left. she has excellent manners and tends to take care of the others, always cleaning them up and whatnot ;p daisy is a fox terrier mix - white with a cute little pink nose. and ralphie is a blue beagle. he's the prettiest color i've ever seen. and the only dog that's allowed to stay inside.
*i also have five kitties. fluffy is an old worn out tom that has been around for years now. he always has hair falling out - from fighting for the ladies, no doubt. callie is the oldest female and as you guessed it, a calico. flower is black and white - named after 'flower' from bambi ;p cream puff is white and cream colored. and rainbow is a kitten that i recently picked up off of the street, because of her looking so much like my flower did when she was younger.
*gruffy and betty lou are goats. gruffy stinks to high heavens, no matter WHAT you do with him. and betty lou is a little on the crazy side. she spooks at the slightest movement or noise.
..there are also tons of chickens, ducks and guinea fowl running around outside, but obviously they aren't all named and don't count for quite as much.
