I;m very nosey lol, but i also like to talk about my crew.
Well i have 8 goo's at the mo, 2 chins, 5 dogs, 4 cats, 1 rat, 1 hamster, 2 budgies, 2 guinea pigs, a rabbit and an african grey.
As i;m typing this my grey is shouting his head off, which is normal. He is calling my youngest son, and telling him to behave!!
Here are some of the things he say
Ashley, my youngest, courtney, my daughter, mom, ses ya, hello, give us a kiss, f**k off, shut the f**k up, shut up, pack it in, stop fighting, oh right, he also rings like the house phone, then says, hello, yes, yes, oh ok then, see ya, bye!!! He whistles loads of different tunes, including the adams family, and it drive my husband mad lol, he copies the noise from the digital camera, the smoke alarm, and even the bloody fly spray!!!! He barks like the dogs, and chirps like the budgies, just waiting for him to start copying the goo's. He is really funny, buy a pain in the rear at the same time lol

LOL! I remember you telling me about him when you dropped the babies off. It sounds like he'd really fit in in my house with all that swearing! I'm surprised my Degus haven't learned to swear the way I carry on sometimes, lol. I have six cats, four Degus a Guniea Pig (who I'm trying to get a friend for, but I have to convince my Fiance first) and fish. I used to have an Axololt named Dio, but he passed away a few months ago

Ooooh! Axolotls are awesome! Hardwork and you can't 'pet' them, but awesome! Here's a link to an Axolotl site, They're have the cutest smiley faces! Dio was an Albino. This site doesn't have the best pictures of Axolotls, but has really good information about them. www.axolotl.org/Here's the best picture of an Axolotl! (It's not Dio). Attachments:

I've just got my 4 goos, Dave & Jim and Stan & Nige and our 2 dogs Bonzo who is a whippet x bedlington and Quinn another lurcher of some sort. Oh and the OH ... I've had Dave & Jim since the end of May, Stan & Nige from August time and Quinn for only 4 weeks, we adopted him from the Dogs Trust. We've had Bonz from a puppy and he was 5 in August. He was the son of my parent's Bedlington Terrier, Molly, who we heartbreakingly lost when Bonz was only a year or so old to Copper Toxicosis which is genetic to Bedlingtons. It is being bred out which is fantastic but poor Molly-Moo wasn't one of the lucky ones. We also, up until 18th August, had my parents other lurcher, Ellie, who we rescued from some gypsies. My parents have started working abroad for months at a time so we took Ellie on as they couldn't take her with them (sounds awful that they 'abandoned' her, but she was very much loved by them still). Sadly she was put to sleep, we actually scattered her ashes over the weekend with my parents as they are back for a few weeks, which was really hard, I'd got used to 'having her in the house', but she is off with Molly now! I love to talk about all my pets, past and present! I'd love to have Chins in the future, but we need a bigger house first, oh and I'd probably be disowned by the OH if I got MORE pets. Oh and I'd also love rats and ferrets, and more goos and more dogs...the list goes on!!

I want more Degus! But like you said, I'd probably be disowned if I 'asked' (protested!) for more pets. Apparently, it's not just MY home and he gets a say too. I know, strange ey? lol. I'm having a hard enough time convincing my Fiance that my Piggie NEEDS a friend. Give me a month and I'll just sneak one in the house. He never spends time with the Piggie. He'll never notice, lol!

Aww I love Rottweilers! Although saying that, I love all dogs...literally. I've yet to come across any dog I didn't think was 'cute', even the most ugly of dogs!
It was a running joke when I went on holiday with my OH and 5 of our friends, every dog I saw I'd go 'Naww...doggy', I'm well known for my love of dogs amongst our friends now! They all started to catch on too, and any time one of them saw a dog the same words would be uttered! Hehe!

I have my four Goo Goos. And I have my Jack Russell X Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Oscar who was 10 this year! He's so fully of energy and docile, he always like his cuddles (:
I have ALWAYS wanted Axolotls, and I have always wanted a tortoise. My mum's friend recently acquired one for free, with the Vivarium/tank and such but isn't keen on keeping it, so my mum has offered to take it in if they don't want it.

We have our three degus, Reepicheep, Peekachew, and Snuggabug. We also have two poodles, a miniature names Teddy, and a standard named Queenie. Teddy is 13 years old, and although he started out rather stiff and dedicated only to my hubby, he has sweetened each and every year . . . after my daughter was born. LOL! I had no idea that I even rated in his world until my daughter was born and he was SO put out with me that he gave me the cold bum for three solid months. Everytime we came home from being out on errands, he would greet my hubby and then turn his back on me and sit down. Cold bum!! When we sat and watched the telly or anything, he would jump up and fuss over my hubby, then turn his back on me and sit down. Cold bum!! If we offered him treats he would take my husbands offerings, but turn his back on me and sit down. More cold bum!! Finally . . . three months later . . . one day he jumped up on the sofa beside me, touched my hand with his nose, walked to the other end and lay down to sleep. I knew then I was finally forgiven and accepted back into his circle of aquaintances. LOL! Since that time he has continued to warm up to me and now is as excited to see me as he is my hubby. He is a true little sweetheart. Queenie is 9 years old, and thinks she is still more like 6 months old. She runs, jumps, spins, and cavorts like a puppy, so you have to look out or you're likely to be knocked off your feet! She is also convinced that she is just as much a lap dog as Teddy is, and often tries to make herself at home on my knees. She doesn't fit very well. LOL!
IF I could have more animals I would love to have a ragdoll cat and a parrot. If I could dream beyond that . . . a couple of chins, probably a couple more dogs, some horses, a house rabbit or two . . . and well, the list would just grow from there!!
