This afternoon, I felt like I lived on a farm....not with cows or horses. No!
2 cats (1 is just visiting)
2 dogs
2 rats
1 fish
These are all of the animal related tasks I had to do today:
1. Make a vet appointment to get the male rat neutered (I'll tell you the story on another day)
2. Make an appointment to get the visitng cat shaved
3. Clean the litter box
4. Feed dog one outside
5. Feed dog two inside
6. Feed cat one upstairs
7. Feed cat two downstairs
8. Feed Fish
9. Clean fish bowl
10. Clean rat cage
11. Add food at water to rat cage
12. Make vet appointment for dog one (dog two bit dog one on the eye).
13. Fill community water bowl
14. Find lost rat #1 in the couch
Holy crap! Like I said, it's a domestic animal farm.
We really should only have 1 cat, 1 dog, and 1 rat. But in a matter of three days, our animals multiplied themselves.
How one dog became two:
My husband found a battered mix puppy in the mountains while hunting. His hip bones were showing and he had obviously been in a fight with a wild animal. So he brought the poor puppy home. His name is Moffit after the wild life area they found him in.
How one cat became two:
I have a tabby cat that stays at home with me. I have another cat that stays at my dance studio as sort of a mascot. She has been shedding all over the studio and making the customers sneeze...so I brought her home with the intention to get her shaved. She has her appointment on Monday, then she goes back to the studio.
How one rat became two
This one is interesting. The first rat (male) died of unknown illness. The second rat (female) got lost in the house. After two weeks of searching, I came to the conclusion that she had starved to death or the dog a her. So I bought a third rat (male). After one week of owning rat #3, I found rat #2 in the silverware drawer. I put rat #2 and #3 in a cage together and they immediately started mating. So that's why I have an appointment at the vets office on Friday to get rat #3 neutered. FYI, It costs more to get a rat neutered than a dog!

Classic - The mascot at the studio is a bit out there but it's a cute touch. And I can so see your husband out of all the brothers bringing home the poor dog. The rat in the drawer reminds me of H and S's lost cat scenerio when they thought their cat got hit, they bought another and then the first one came home. Classic domestic animal farm. I hope you have a great visit today with Jenny. Give her a hug for me.
