Pets, Pets and more Pets!


Our kids are often asking us, "When can we have a pet?" Our reply to them is that they have lots of pets! They have more gehkos than we can count, we have a frog that regularly visits my kitchen window, and a family of birds that live in our hanging plants. Now we can add to our list of pets a Mama hen and her baby chicks. Though they technically belong to someone else, our kids are having a great time feeding the "cheepers" crumbs, seeds, and roaches. (yes, roaches!)
The chicks appear at our back door with their mama several times a day when they think it is feeding time! :)
