Over Code on Number of Animals allowed in a home (According to Chad)

Well prior to today, we had the following animals:

1 Fat Gray Cat named Cookie

 1 Pom-Chi named Cinnamon

1 Chihuahua named Sasha

A tank for of African Cichlids

1 hamster named Pinkie

and a Bearded Dragon named Spike







Today, due to Petsmart's Mega 4th of July Sale we now have: a buddy for Spike, a buddy for Pinkie (her name is Princess) and 2 Chinese Water Dragons that will be going to school in August.  Their names are Lola and George. 

I know, we are a little crazy, but my girls are learning responsibility.  Right now, Spike is getting along with his tank mate, but Pinkie isn't quite so sure about Princess.  We will continue to watch over them.  Thank God, Petsmart has a 14 day money back guarantee.  The sales girl told me that to ensure the hamsters would get along the best thing would be to bathe them.  Has anyone ever given a hamster a bath??  Well, it was interesting.  Picture a sink with an inch of warm water, a wash cloth, and a soaked rat.  I felt as if I were drowning them.  Then, I had to make sure they were dried off.  Pinkie kept trying to run out of the towel.  Oh well, what you won't do for your children.  So far, the two hamsters have only had a few spats, mostly just lots of squeaking.  Hopefully, it will get better as the days move on, otherwise on day 14, Princess goes back to Petsmart.

So now, you can call our home, "The Hargues Zoo", inhabitants:  15 animals and 4 humans.  Admission is free.  Donations of Dr. Pepper, Muscato, or Zoloft accepted kindly.  Open daily 24 hours a day. 

As for the girls, they are excited about the new additions to our happy home.  They find it amusing to watch the Beardies making arm motions and the Water Dragons jumping on the tank cover.  So far we haven't fought too much over who is gonna get too close to the cages.  We will see what happens tomorrow.

Speaking of Sisters, my sister, whom I fought with daily growing up, is expecting her 2nd child in November, found out yesterday she is having a girl.  My nephew, her son, Sean is very excited.  Hopefully she won't be dealing with sibling rivalry due to having one boy and one girl.  God only knows.  :-)  Congrats, Alicia, Clint and Sean Cameron!!  I love you all!!!
