Am I crazy? Three more little mouths to feed!

                       I must be a lunatic!

Am I crazy? My 18 year old son, who is as big as a sucker as I am when it comes to animals has talked me into  adding 3 new members to our family. Or as I sometimes think of it, 3 new mouths to feed.

A week or so ago Ryan asked if we could get something to fill the empty aquarium in the living room. I was hoping for a turtle or a frog. We went to our local pet store and picked out 2 Asian fire belly frogs. We chose them for several reasons. They were beautiful. They look like those plastic Dollar Store toy frogs. They are easy to take care of. They live 10 to 15 years. I’m tired of getting attached to a hamster that only lives a few years! They make the cutest little sound, kind of like a soft barking sound. And they were cheap!

We named these guys Fred and Ethel. Here’s a picture of them but they are much more striking in person:

The other member of our animal family is this tiny little kitten:

He came to us one stormy night when we found him wondering in the road in a torrential rain storm. He looks to be about 5-6 weeks. Our SPCA won’t take him because they are overrun with cats. So looks like he’s ours. Our dogs all love him. Ryan loves him too.

So yes I am crazy for adding more animals to this zoo. But hey, what’s one more? Or two? Or three?
