Nancy,

I loved your story. It sounds like your house is so much fun!!! I just hope, one day, that I can have half the fun you have. Knowing myself, I (too) will be surrounded by lots of fids. I'm not sure if I'll have 10, but probably close to it. Thanks for sharing.

Thumbs up Too Funny!

Nancy,

Just way to funny and is starting to sound like my life!!! except I've only 4, 2 human kids and 2 Fids going on 3! I better stop now!!!!!

Would love to meet you one day and your all your Fids! Sounds like a great family! I know what you mean about not vacationing, I planned this trip to bush gardens next week, & my teen age neighbor that was suppose to come over 2x a day for the 3 days we are going backed out on me!!!! ugh. now what to do?!?!?!?

Do you know of any local pet sitters in our Pasadena/Severna Park area?

Thanks again for the wonderful story!

Nancy....Excellent post.....Thanks or sharing.....
While the work is exhausting, I know you wouldnt change a second of it!!!


oh...and BTW...Stirling loves to party like its 1999!
If the phone rings,when i am doing bird stuff, I have to ignore it...There is no way I could turn my back on Stirling for a second.
He would be busy ripping, chewing, and teasing Sydney!
