If you feel like talking about something that won't fit into any of the broad categories I created, post it here!

Does anyone else have lots of pets? We have 2 dogs and 4 cats! :)
Yes, I currently have 6 cats. I used to have goldfish and rosy minnows also, but my 3 year old killed them by repeatedly putting stuff in the fish tank. He thought he was helping them. I currently have 1 kitten, Frosty, on my lap playing with my sweater and hair whilst trying to eat my pork cracklins. His sister, Rosie, is peacefully lying down near my feet. The other 4 are being lazy. Furry friends make great therapy for any condition.
Our little kitten has taken to playing with my big male cat... and he plays back until he can't stand it anymore and then he tries to hide! :)

Right now only the kitten is in the house, but the others have stopped in for short visits all day!
Wow! I'm the main one looking after our Pets and I know I couldn't look after that many. Not even mentioning the cost. I'm sure that they keep you hopping regularly. :D Good for you.

No, I do not have lots of Pets but I have had many different types through my Life, so far. Our Sweet doggie Captain died in 2001 but we remember him with fondness. Nine years ago, our Daughter asked us if she could have a cute black, dwarf Bunny which we allowed. She's still Very active and occasionally has a temper tantrum and throws things or rips her bed up. :) We Love her! Pets are Wonderful companions and a credible and enjoyable alternative therapy.
At this very moment, I have a kitten lying here in front of the keyboard sound asleep... the dogs are in the back yard and the other 3 cats are out haunting the neighborhood... not too hard to deal with! :)
We have three Golden Retrievers. They are not officially Therapy Dogs, but they are my therapy dogs. Well, and our companions, family members, entertainment, exercise...
Now one of my cats officially has more than 1 medical condition. Should I create a category for pets with multiple medical conditions?

Maybe this is a symptom.... Hummmm
5 Dogs
1 Cat
2 Birds!!!
And if my kids had anything to do with it, we would have even more.

Maybe it's part of our passion for living? I have always had pets in my life and I've always eaten lots of good food!

Someone wrote something bad about Warfarin, but I can't find it now. What did you mean? I started taking it the last part of November.

My hubby was on warfarin and I asked my doctor to take him off them for it was messing with his moods (really bad) and changing who he was even though it fixed the problem, not good stuff at all, has too many side affects

Yvonne-I think you are referring to the comment from bikette about warfarin on your intro discussion. She said it is used for rat poison. It is because it causes the rodent to hemorrhage. If course, the exterminators use a lot of it. I am sure your doc doesn't have you on such a large dosage. lol
