I have had everything... I had cats, dogs, a baby squirrel I saved from a lawn mower and bottle-fed, ferrets, snakes, frogs, toads, fish, lizards, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice... Forgive me if I left anything out lol!

I currently have a 20 gallon community freshwater fish tank and a betta named Captain Shakespeare as well as my birds. :mrgreen:

Aw, I would love for him to be in the 20 gallon, but Captain Shakespeare is in his own 5 gallon tropical aquarium with an algae eater and lots of plants he likes to sleep in. Alas he and my pleco didn't get along so I got him his own tank and a fish buddy and they both love it. :) I get so sad when I see betta in those tiny glass cubes with tepid water. Don't they know they are tropical fish who like warm water and swiming around in more than just a two-inch circle?? :( But I digress lol!

I've had a funny turtle for 2 years, I got him from Canal street in Manhattan, NY which is well known as 'Chinatown'...my dad got him for me as a little present for my birthday. I named him Fudge. He would nip my finger after finishing his food. Fudgie grew big, my dad would get me different types of fish pieces and shrimp to feed him. He was healthy. I used to have a turtle race with the kids in my neighborhood with turtles, and fudge always won. One day, we were going out for 4-5 days and I left him with what I thought were 'responsible neighbors' and when I came back all excited to see him. I find out that my turtle Fudge was flushed down the toilet by my neighbor's kids. I was so pissed off and upset . From that day I NEVER EVER spoke with my neighbors from that day on. From that day I could not think of getting another turtle or trusting those particular neighbors with my valuable stuff ever!

Thanks....he is my moms "puppy dog" and thankfully has filled in VERY well over the years. We got him merely a month off the track which is why he is nothing but pure muscle mass. His hooves took a long time to get somewhat decent but they don't both him like when we first had him (he was trimmed far too short which was actually painful for him). He is one happy plump little horse now =)
