No animals right now as I plan to travel.
My neighbour would take care of a cat for two weeks but
that is where she draws the line.

Hi hollandgirl,

I have a gorgeous dog called, Amber. She is a red heeler cross, predominantly heeler, which is a highly intelligent, Australian cattle dog. She is a joy to all who meet her, and so glad we adopted her from Animal Welfare as an abused, 8yr old. Had we not taken her, she would surely have been put down, spare the thought. crying

I have travelled a bit this year, and my parents would glad take her except that my son prefers her to remain home with him. But I can understand it's not always so easy to have sitters for our animals, and they do need lots of attention, just as we do.thumbs up

I would get another animal in a heart beat if I was finished traveling.
I soo miss my furry friends.

I forgot to mention that we also own several trout (both Browns and Rainbows) and part of a cow, but they "live in the freezer" and we only bring them out one meal at a time...

If they would let me on a plane with an ax I could come out there and take care of him for you.laugh

I've had many roosters and they were all mean! I've never owned a nice rooster yet. These days I've eliminated all roosters from my flock of hens (12 at the moment) all big brown egg layers.

About "Hank", you realize of course that he could cause you a world of trouble if he ever attacked a child. A rooster like you describe can do some serious damage to a childs face including taking an eye out with their spurs. This was a contributing factor of why I got rid of my roosters. Think about it.

I have 2 cats. A grey tabby named Chloe and a solid black tabby named Sofie. I've had them since they were 12 weeks old, and aside from a few trips to the vet for shots and spaying, they've never been apart since the day they were born.

And dear Lord do they ever act like siblings! laugh
