Yes, I do. I have a pooch, a kitty and 7 rescue guinea pigs. :) I have had several other critters in the years. My fave is the moocows. <3 My husband also has a doggie and 2 snakes. :D

I am good. overwhelmed by the gifts. I got my thank you board up, it took me like over an hour to get it all together. And now I am getting ready for bed. so tired. been a long day.

How are you doing?

Oh my goodness, guinea pigs are so adorable!! :3 I have WAY too many animals, 6 Leopard geckos, 1 bearded dragon, 2 bunnies, and a cat. I can't resist animals! They are just too cute and too sweet. Most of them anyway XD

It took me a bit too XD But thankfully I didn't get too too many gifts, so I wasn't scrambling for super long time trying to thank everyone lol I'm tired too D: Work was super slow today, I hate when it's too slow. Time crawls!

Oh, btw, I'm Tarra ^-^ Nice to meet you!!

I had many, before we had kids but we had to downsize majorly. I really want some Dwarf Hotots or Netherlands. I love how cuddly and cute Dwarf bunnies are. <3 My husband and I are trying to find a pair of Red Eyed Crocodile Skinks.. they look like tiny dragons.

Oh wow! :O I had to look up the skink, so friggin' adorable! Anything dwarf is adorable in my opinion XD My rabbits are Lion Mane's, all fluffy and soft ^-^ For the longest time I want a blue tongued skink, but I didn't want too many tanks in the house D: Especially since I have so many pets as is. I'm sure once I have kids I will want to downsize as well. What all did you have before you downsized? :O

Well we had 5-6 snakes, a beardie, 2 leopard geckos, 3 crested geckos, a chinese water dragon, a black and white tegu, 2 guinea pigs (I had to rehome because we had a smaller house then), 2 ferrets and a cat that was a little too big and would have possibly smothered my babies. That's not even close to what we've had come thru our doors. We've had lots of critters we take in till we can find them a good home. I am a huge animal lover and would have everything if I could. <3

That is so awesome! :O :O You are amazing XD

I've had a few pets in the past. I've tried the fish thing..... Never again. Fish are SO hard to keep alive. I killed them all D: It was awful and huge waste of money. Hamsters when I was younger, and some hermit crabs.

I didn't get into reptiles till about 2 years ago, I don't know how it happened, but I got one leopard gecko and fell in love. I started going to reptile conventions soon after. I've definitely slowed down a LOT though. It was getting to be a problem XD I had cresteds at one point, but I couldn't seem to take care of them correctly and lost one, so I found a home for the other two D: Didn't want to lose anymore! So sad :(

I don't think I'm cut out for any kind of tropical reptile lol I'm still in the beginner stage LOL! I seem to do great with the desert ones though ^-^ My leos and beardie are my babies <3

lol, awe thanks >D

I've had fish before and loved it. Had a 10G and a 33G.. they were so beautiful and relaxing.. but I just can't seem to get into it again. :O

We got into reptiles when my husband got a snake and wanted more.. then we got all sorts of things. He had a pink-toed tarantula for a while.. she was so cute. I love the cresties but with the kids I don't have the time for them.

A good thing to have for the tropical is a mister or typhoon machine. I had one till my husband broke it, lol.

Hoping.. that as the kids get older we can get more critters that we would like to have. :)

I should've gotten one of the mister machines slaps myself Oh well! Maybe next time XD

I loved the fish too. I did so much research and made sure I had everything I needed but I guess I just wasn't prepared for how difficult it was to keep the water just right. From now on I'll just go to the aquarium :( :( Haha!

Hopefully you will be able to pass on the animal loving to your kids ^-^ How old are they now?

I'm the same way. XD I'm really bad about continuing conversation (and I'm much more outgoing online than I am irl)... Online I just try to respond to as many people as possible, and it feels awkward, but I hope I don't come off as too awkward. XD I'm just not good at making conversation, but I'm always happy to chat. Small talk has never been my forte. c:

That's awesome! I'm glad to hear that your family is doing well!

I'm doing alright! I just came back up to uni (classes start back on the 11th), and I had a nice break visiting my mom, Will's parents, and the rest of my family. I even made a bit of money helping my mom re-organize her office. XD And I got a new graphics card, so I should be able to play my video games at a higher resolution now (which is exciting). XD They have a lot of glitches without higher res.

Yes, the misters are really nice to keep an terrarium moist. If you get a good one they have different setting for times, sprays and the such. XP

I love the colours and what not. I'm just not feeling it this time, bleh. I didn't do much research.. as I worked in a pet store. ;) The only fish I had no luck with was the darn fancy goldfish.. I couldn't keep them buggers alive.

Yeah, I REALLY hope my kids have a love for pets like I do. My son will 2 on February 2nd and my daughter will be 9 months on the 3oth of this month. <3

Funny thing is I have an easier time in person.. even with being extremely shy and not a people person, lol :P I know if someone asks me the right thing I will not shut up.. but I guess on here you think about it a little more because you have to type it all out. ;)

Yeah, my kids are growing like weeds.. and they had a blast at my parents and visiting with the fam. I got a little kid free time.. but I really would have liked more. Have my sister coming up in March.. so I'm super excited about that.

Thats good you had a good holiday. :D

The gold fish with the really pretty fancy tails? I had 2 of those for the longest time, they got pretty big! But some kind of disease broke out and I lost them D: DAMN FISH! I loved those two so much.

Awwww! They are still so young. You definitely have plenty of time to get them started on animals ^-^ They will probably want a hamster or something rodent like first lol. That's how it was when I was little, everyone always wanted a hamster.

Hey there! I'm Tarra :3 Nice to meet you!

I have an easier time talking to people in person too. XD Part of it is I rely pretty heavily on reading a person's facial expression when I'm talking (so I can make sure they don't look bored/offended, ect...). Or their tone of voice. XD But talking face to face wears me out faster if it's someone I'm not familiar with or someone that I'm not particularly close to. Typing it all out does make you think a lot more about it! XD (And I always feel like I need to use emoticons... I probably overuse them sometimes, but that's that whole "reading facial expression" thing). My mom did used to joke about me being a different child when I went to school, because I was always so quiet at school, and my teachers would send home comments about it on my report cards. The me at home was much louder, wouldn't shut up, and would yell if something excited me or made me upset. XD

That's awesome! c: I'm glad you guys had a good time and that you'll get to see your sister soon! I'll probably be online sporadically today. XD Will and I have a lot of errands to accomplish. x.x But, I guess that's what happens when you're away for a month. XD

Hi Tarra! Nice to meet you too! c: My name is Micah, but you're welcome to call me Cullen. c:

Nice to meet you Micah ^-^ How are you doing today? Anything planned?

Now that I'm a little more awake.. I guess I should return the convo.. before I forget. XD

I like to make people laugh and it's easier for me to do cause I like to use body motions to make more of a point to a story. :) I'm not much of a fan of typing all the time.. I would be a good writer if I could ever write down what goes on in my head, haha. I love to us emoticons but am bad at knowing what to us.. to implement the right meaning to a thought. Wow, a month.. we only were gone for a week. Wish I could of went home for a month. <3 That's fine.. life happens. ;_;

I had the black moors.. they have the huge black eyes. They just died within a week and after a few tries I gave up on the goldfish. I'm much better with the tropicals. Yes they are.. still getting used to not being pregnant.. this was the first Christmas in two years I wasn't. :) I am not a fan of hamsters.. they can have bunnies instead. lol :P I just can't wait for the fun. :D

Those ones are so beautiful. I love the fancy goldfish so much. It's a shame you had trouble keeping it alive! The ones that made me nervous were the ones with bubbly eyes. I'd be afraid it would pop or something ?

Awww you don't like hamsters? ? They are so cute though! Bunnies would be a great pet for your children too though.

Those goldfish are soo ugly.. oh my, lol :P Yes hamsters are cute.. but they are mean little buggers. I want them to enjoy animals and take good care of them. So they can have as many as they can handle. :)

Hah!!! I laughed so hard at that ? They are definitely strange looking.

Yes, they are, lol. There are defiantly some fish that shouldn't be.

Bahahahahaha!!! Cracking me up ???

So, what are you up to today?
