4. too fing adorable!

also allergic to farm animals, but didn't think anyone would suggest one....lol

great pic!

I wish I could have a dog....sigh....I tried the shots, allergic to them, and am on meds, but they barely work.

Sorry to whine but this is me just being jealous after reading about everyone's beloved animals......

6. no I'm not

and its a great suggestion, have to wait till I move out of my mothers house.....she is freaked out by reptiles.....but when I get my own place I was considering a snake or a lizard of some kind.

9. Get a tiger oscar -- a dog in a tank.

They grow fast, greet you wiggling like puppies, eat you out of house and home and live 10 years.

11. hedgehog

They have a little fur on their bellies but mostly quills. My sons allergies are why we ended up getting them.

12. What about reptiles? :)

Edited on Fri Jan-11-08 10:33 AM by DarkTirade

I miss my gecko. :( She was so friendly and cuddly.

Only drawback to leopard geckos is that you have to keep live bugs for them to eat though. There are vegetarian reptiles though.
