3 Kids, 2 Dogs, 1 Cat and Counting

Although sometimes my kids can act like a bunch of animals I have now put a temporary ban on the number of mouths I feed in this house every day. We added a new puppy to the house back in Feb. and since then I have had many conversations with the kids about more pets. Makena would love a kitten, Bryden would love a turtle, and Hayden would take anything that would let him actually catch it.
We now have a ten year old cat that only emerges from the basement when the kids are in bed and two dogs, which includes a puppy that remains to be potty trained. It is going to be a race to see who can be potty trained first, Hayden or the puppy. I have my money on the puppy. This is why when Blaine and I returned from a night out together and Bryden shared his "new pet" with us it was with a heavy heart I had to talk him into letting it go. Luckily he caught it in the front yard so it was easy to convince him he needed to go back to his home.

So with one possible catastrophe diverted I learned only fifteen minutes later that Grammy Monica had taken Bryden to the pet store earlier that night and bought him a couple of fish for the fish tank she got him for his Birthday.........
and three days later one of the fish started having babies. So far we have four and apparently they can have them every month for up to six months with only one fertilization!!!!!!

Meet Fishy, Fisher and T.J.

Luckily they do not eat a lot but I am hoping that the additions to the family will come to a stop for a little while.
