Pets
Not only do I work with animals, but I love to have them in my
home. Here is a page dedicated to the pets that John and I have. We
hope to also have some dogs someday when we get a bigger place and a backyard.
Hades
Isn't he gorgeous? We got Hades when John's aunt adopted a cat and her
4 kittens. We had wanted a cat, so we took one of the kittens home,
and named him Hades. He's a great cat for the most part, but sometimes
he lives up to his name. We still see Hade's mom and siblings when we
visit John's aunt, and I always wonder if the mommy cat can smell
Hades' scent on me and recognize it.
Hades has a great hunting instinct, and has killed a few mice for
us. He also likes to play rough with his toys. When we was a kitten he
could do flips while chasing toys. Hades has some wierd favorite
foods, and the most bizarre is Chinese food. He loves rice, noodles,
and recently we found out he likes fortune cookies.
Coffee and Cream
Coffee and Cream are my zebra finches. Originally, I had Cream and
Sugar, two birds from my old lab. Unfortunately, Sugar died recently,
and I bought Coffee as a new friend for Cream. While we miss Sugar
dearly, Coffee has been a great friend to Cream. She is adventurous
and loves to play with the toys in the cage. She has even taught Cream
to play! I believe Coffee is Cream's fountain of youth.
The Fish
John has a 20-gallon fish tank filled with platys and a cory catfish. He originally started out with 6 platys, and now after 6 years he
has about 20-30 (we think). They are happy in their environment, and
just keep multiplying. Not only do John and I enjoy the soothing
sounds and pretty view of the tank, but Hades also likes to watch the
fish! Good thing the tank has a sturdy top...
