Got her from a no-kill shelter (who treated her poorly) after volunteering there for two months.<br><br>She has some sort of skin problem or allergy (not mange; tested numerous times). Seems to only happen during cold weather.<br><br>Recently shaved her down so she doesn't look as bad. People always think I'm either abusing her or she has mange, so to stop that, I just shaved the problem area. It's actually helped her skin get a lot better, even if she does look a tad stupid.

<br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Sonny</span><br><br>Not officially mine, but will be someday, hopefully. Long story, so no explanation offered.<br><br>Purebred APBT. One of the best dogs I've ever worked with; only vice is that he's anxious near small animals. (Don't really know much of his background, so I don't know the particular cause for the behavior.)<br><br><img src="

<br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Levi</span><br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline">Breed</span>: Jack Russell Terrier, purebred [first owners confirmed]<br><span style="text-decoration:underline">Age</span>: 6-7 months<br><span style="text-decoration:underline">Vetted?</span>: UTD on shots, flea&tick&heartworm preventatives. Not neutered, getting done on the 12th.<br><br>My puppeh! I got him from a friend who no longer wanted him because her schedule "didn't have time for him". I knew she was making a mistake by getting a dog, and she proved me right. She thought even walking him was too much of a hassle because she'd rather play Wii Fit to get her exercise. :roll: <br><br>After the abuse ("play", as they call it) that Levi suffered in the entire 1 1/2 months with her, he's now handshy. On multiple occasions I've seen her boyfriend grab Levi by the neck, twist it, and get on top of him. Not what you or I would call proper handling of a dog. ><<br><br>Anyhow, he's a nice puppy and he fell in "love" with Mimi.

It's so sweet because even with just her scent, he'll start wagging his tail really fast. He had separation anxiety the first few days he was here, but now he's adjusted to a regular schedule and he's doing really well with it.<br><br>He's such a small dog. I'm not used to short breeds. I can take care of them for other people, but I like big, big dogs. JRTs are too tiny for me. XD<br><br><br><img src="

<br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Harley</span><br><br>My newest addition! I don't know for sure if it's male or female (too young to really tell). He's maybe 4 weeks old (yes, young), and he's a mixed breed. Harlequin colored, and thus I named him Harley. <br><br>Loves to pose for me, at least when he's not busy finding another way to slip through his cage (dog crate).<br><br><img src="

<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Mocha</span><br><br>I wanted to get Harley a lil' buddy. My cats are busy tormenting the poor guy, so I went out and found a bunny in need of a home. The woman took in 3 rescues, told they were all males, and found out otherwise when two of the "males" had babies. XD<br><br>Unnamed, I just got it today. I *think* it's female, not completely sure. And don't worry about breeding, I plan on getting one fixed.<br><br><br><img src="

We call him Kemo. He's still a kit, very playful and lively. 6 months old.<br><br><a href="

http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u24/SwiftlyRedtailed/allfertsvp.png" target="_blank" class="bb-url">All Ferrets Asleep</a><br><br><br><br>*** My mom went to clean the ferret cage and let them out to play, and she went to wake the ferrets up. Only two of them got up. My mom sent me a text letting me know that Flare was dead, and at first I thought it was a joke or something, but it's all too real.

<br><br>The exact cause of death isn't known. My mom said that she noticed Flare's head was of a blue-ish purple color, like she had suffocated to death. I don't know if she would have been stupid enough to just lie there and be squished by Kemo and Zypher. <br><br>In a way, I hope it was suffocation because then I won't lose the other ferrets. But, suffocation is a horrible way to go, and I'm hoping she didn't die in such a painful way.<br><br>RIP "Flare the McFlare-it."<br><br><br>
<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Others</span><br><br>My mother and I also own 3 fish tanks (2 community tanks, 1 betta tank), a turtle, and a hedgehog. <br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline">Oscar</span>: Turtle, got him Dec 26, I think. I don't know his true age, but he's maybe a few months old.<br><span style="text-decoration:underline">Spiney Norman</span>: AKA Norman. His owners didn't want him anymore (she's a model, so didn't want to take him with her all over the place). We paid quite a bit ($150). He's definitely the smelliest small animal I've ever met.<br><br>As for the fish, they have no names and I have no pictures of 'em.<br><br><a href="

<br><br><br><br><br>So yep. We have a house full of animals of different species, personalities, etc.<br><br>Definitely quite a bit of work, as we have to maintain a total of:<br><br>1 large 6ft tall/two story ferret cage<br>1 large, two story hedgehog cage<br>1 20 gL long turtle tank<br>1 10 gL long community tank<br>2 2 gL tanks (1 community & 1 betta)<br><br>Not to mention 1 litterbox, 1 cottage (outside house for the dogs, can't keep them inside), etc.<br><br><br>I think we probably spend about $80 or so a month for food (we buy bulk/large containers when possible), maybe $15 a month for cat litter, and probably about $10-15 a month to keep all furry animals on Frontline.<br><br>Not that bad at all, in my opinion.<br><br><br>However for some reason I feel like I'm leaving out an animal. I may end up editing this to add another one in. XD I can't even remember what all we own! <br><br>- Anastasia
