    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

Well on my way to being an animal hoarder :)

well I grew up with a farm in my house. We at one time or another had up to 6 dogs, 9 cats, 2 turtles, 1 60gal salt water aquarium(eels, starfish, lionfish, anenomes,shrimp, tangs, triggers), 1 30gal fresh water aquarium, 1 bird, and 1 iguana.:p And yes at one point they all lived with us at the same time. Needless to say we stayed busy with the cleaning and feeding schedules everyday. Now I only have 2 kids,2 cats, and as of lastnight, 2 dogs. My mother is renovating a new house and I just inherited her sweet mutt for the summer. :scared2:woohoo. We just took down the aquarium, it was 60 gal and sprung a leak,:eek: - don't worry, it was just a tiny mess to clean.LOL I will be getting a new one soon. My husband and I waited til we bought some land in the country to get any pets to have the proper room and the kids old enough and in 2yrs out here we have grown by 4 animals. My girls are dying for a horse, but if we do ever get one, it will be boarded at a stable about 1.5 miles down the road, they can ride their bikes there. We both want chickens desperately, but the neighborhood has no fences anywhere and all of the dogs here(18 total) roam free. I fear one or two might eat a chicken or hurt them. So we are working on that. We love our home as it is, but we are keeping an eye out for a piece maybe a bit more secluded than our current 2 acres to be able to make it a farm, chickens, goats, dogs, cats, and a cow. I want a cow so badly!!!!:pray:

I had hedgehogs growing up, they are way more fun than most people think they are.
I agree! :) My boyfriend told me he knew someone who had one and that we should get one (he might have been joking at the time) But I immediately started doing research and next thing I knew I found a breeder in the town I live and we were bringing the little girl home! We brought Delilah home on April 6th 2011. We've had her since she was 2 months old. She is fun.

I love hearing about all animals that everyone has! I don't think there is any way I could ever keep up with a whole entire farm! Wowza. We don't have any room at all for anymore animals, though. MAYBE one more small/medium sized dog if we REALLY had to. It would be cramped. Lol. Our place is only about 1500 sq feet, but we do have a large yard for being in town.
