My parents have dubbed my room "the pet store."
My bedroom is the 2nd largest room in the house, so I have plenty of room for many things.
Barkley, my 8 year old papillon dog who I saved. He has terrible dental and ear problems. Until I saved him 2 years ago, he lived strictly on canned food. Canned dog food for 6 straight years! Pathetic. He is very over weight because of that, and his dental problems are from that as well. When I first saw him I seriously thought he was a bear cub (gives you an idea of how round he was). He is very happy now with a yard of his own, a diet of hard food with a monthly treat of soft, chewy food, and medication for his ears.
Anubis, a stray black cat who decided to take up residence here. He has been with us for 2 years now. When he first wandered into our backyard, he was very wild. I spent an entire summer working with him, slowly but surely. I will never forget the day he finally made contact with my hand. All the hard work and patience paid off. For over a year I was the only person he would let around him. Now after 2 years he is comfortable with the entire family, has his own bed and food dishes on the porch, and is best friends with Barkley
Fabana, the black widow of birds. She is a 4 year old zebra finch and has outlived 2 mates. Her first mate was killed by a cat, but she managed to survive by hiding under the newspaper in the bottom of the cage. Her second mate, who was perfectly healthy, was found mysteriously dead one morning laying peacefully on the bottom of the cage. Fabana sat on her perch giving me an eerie eye
Simon and Garfunkle are caged in my bedroom
No, not the singers, but my rats! Cutest things ever! They were given to me by a friend who couldn't afford to keep them any longer (she was saving up for her cat's cancer surgery). These fellows never stop amusing me, and themselves, and love giving kisses. Barkley is scared to death of them.
I also have 2 dwarf hamsters who are not named. They were given to me by another friend who couldn't take them to college with her. Very cute tiny things. They sleep a lot. Barkley is scared to death of them, also.
Then there are my 29 fish
