New Family members

Today was a very busy day, indeed. I worked on Danny's sock #2, finished "The Shop on Blossom Street," by Debbie Macomber, did a few chores, ran an errand with the family, and then finally gave in to relentless begging for a trip to the pet store!

Our middle child, Sophia, is a very big animal lover. She has been asking for a pet.....rodent....for several months. She has lost enough teeth to come up with the money to buy the set up today. Of course, Olivia and Little Danny wanted each their own, so offered up their own money to buy companions for Sophia's.

Welcome Lizzie, Twirlie, and Dungeon (you read it right - it's Danny's idea) - three female fancy mice.

Funny thing is, we have two dogs, Chrystal and Turkey. Chrystal is a bigger dog, about 30 lbs, and Turkey is a smaller Chihuahua mix. Turkey is very interested in the mice, and will find any which way to get close to them to watch them play.

We also have a fish - a Betta named DaoDao (Danny Jr named this one, too). He is the last survivor of three, but we've had him for two years, so I guess that's a good long while for Bettas.

Our home is becoming a menagerie of sorts. I don't suppose a cat would ever be an option, it would be the missing link in the food chain.

I have to sign off and rescue the three unsuspecting mice from the wily Turkey.

Good night and Blessings,
Melanie
