My "Zoo"

We nwo only have one cat (monkey) and one rabbit (spot) left and we're babysitting David's dog several times a week.
I think it'll be a while before I'll have a dog of my own again. I think the next dog I'll own will be a Chow.

Jenny had brought an aquarium over with a female bahaman anole

Of course we had to get more into this aquarium and we ended up with the female, two male and two green tree froggies. However, we didn't anticipate how much the crickets were going to cost and we ended up giving them all away.

This is "Monkey"
We named her that way cause of the way she looks like a monkey in her face. She was born on August 4th, 2005

We got her on October 28, 2002

Our Cat Seven Our Cat Seven eating noodles
This is our cat Seven of Nine, named after the Star Trek character, due to the way she behaved when she first came "home". She has been with us since 12-98 and she's a great addition to the family. She was 2 years old when we got her. She loves the Daycare kids while they're eating...you can see the reason by looking at the pictures.

Angel
This was Mandy's cat Angel. Angel is now with a new family, cause Mandy wasn't allowed to have pets in her new place and I didn't want to keep him.

Our Guineapigs
These are the guinea pigs Alvin, Cappocino, and Lena.
(from left to right)
These three piggy's went to animal heaven.

babyguinea This is Baby-Guinea (Alvin's Baby) in April of 2002. I raised him with a dropper, cause his Mommy died. There were 4 babies and he was the runt of the litter, yet he is the only one that made it. Baby-Guinea died unexpectantly (overnight) in 2005.
This is Baby-Guinea on March 29th, 2004. He's about the tamest Guineapig you'll ever see. He lets you put him on his back to pet his belly and he doesn't get finicky when you try to pick him up. babyguinea

Bunny Divider

The Critters
We bought Grey for Snowhite, but found out later that the rabbit was a male and they didn't get along. We brought him back to where we bought him, cause he was supposed to be a female. They then gave us another rabbit telling us that it was a female... and guess what....

.... it's a male too!

This is Spot...
He didn't work out as a pal for Bunzy either, but we kept him anyway. As Spot got older, Bunzy and Spot did not get along and Spot was hurting Bunzy to the point we had to take her to the Vet. We had to put them in separate cages. Bunzy lived with Alvin's Baby, Baby-Guinea, and Spot is still with us and lives by himself.

Theodore and Spot
These are Theodore and Spot.
Spot didn't get along with Theodore either. Theodore was very old and had a stroke back in 2001 and died two years later. He was crippled after his stroke but still as adorable as ever.

Blue Bird This is Kiddo aka Bluebird.
I got him from Bonnie in Summer 2001
Now he lives with Lisa with another Parakeet.
The cats kept trying to get to him and I also thought it was sad for him to be so lonely.
This is Buster the Beagle
We got him from the pound but had to give him back. He was biting the kids' ankles.

Well and this was our worst nightmare
Cujo... oh, well, I mean
Tanner

Cujo the St. Bernard Cujo the St. Bernard

And here Tanner and Buster are together
The dogs seem to have fallen in love immediately.
Tanner pretty much protected Buster from any real or imagined danger.

We don't have Tanner anymore. Had to give him away because of his aggression. He kept nipping at people and after I had given him to a Trainer, he ended up biting someone. I'm just glad we gave him away early enough to not have that happen at this house.
