Pets On Parade

I love having pets. Anything that is cute and small and needs to be taken care of just melts my heart (that's why God let me be a twin mommy and a mommy to four kids). If I had my way, I would have a house full of animals. Goats, pigs, bunnies, cats, dogs, mice, monkeys, you name it, I want it. Scott, on the other hand, does not share my love of small furry and scaly creatures. But being the sweet husband that he is, he compromised, and I have several sweet little pets. Here they are, in order from largest to smallest:

Zoe, a 2-year-old Havachon (Bichon Frise/Havanese mix):


Carly, a 1-year-old Jack Russel Terrier:


Chocolate and Uniqua, our little mice:


We also have a Betta fish named Lava Girl. Sadly, Roxy the Betta fish passed away earlier this week, so we had a little fishy funeral.

Having pets is not only fun for me, but the kids love it, too. It has also been a great and fun way to teach them responsibility. Scott has put me on a 3 year hiatus from pets. I'm not even allowed to ask for a pet during that time! It's okay though, that just gives me more time to decide what I want next...
