I am an animal lover who unfortunately moves around a lot with the hubby for work and therefore limits our (my) desire to form my own menargerie of animals. At present I have a guinea pig and a fish. Most adaptable animals for the renting life. One day I will end up having my chickens, ducks, goat :) But for now I love reading about your animals and seeing their faces. So thank you.Noisy Talk.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16593404877244067706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281069965301856533.post-71321242369112041432011-12-29T12:28:01.884-05:002011-12-29T12:28:01.884-05:00They are beautiful.
