Hey :)

Hey everyone,
My name is Renay, I'm an avid pet lover and am completely surprised that I hadn't found this site until now. I cannot remember a time when I didn't share my home with a pet, from the time I was born until now I've always had a fuzzy companion. I currently share my home with many animals whom I would like to introduce you to as well. Maggie is my 11 month old shih tsu x lhassa apso x poodle. Cuda and Duster are both 9 months old and they are my cats. Callie and booger are my ferrets and they're both between the ages of 1.5 - 2 years old. Harrisson is my hedgehog. And heres the real heart stopper, I have 9 rats. 6 females and 3 males, housed completely seperately because I do not condone breeding. Monkey, Spaz, Bizou, and Kiwi are my girls from the SPCA and Lulu and Piggle are petstore girls. Remington and Ratchet are my males from the SPCA and Hot Shot is from the petstore. I love them all to death and while it seems like I have a lot on my plate, I just can't get enough of them.

Welcome Renay,WOW you have quiet a Zoo and you know,eventually you are going to have to post pics of every single one even the little ratties
Although we have one girl(FRENCHY!) who is allergic to the sight of rats,I however think they are cute and smart little critters.

lol rats pull on my heart strings, always have, always will. While some people hate them I can't get enough of them, each one has their own personality and so many people do so many horrible things to them that I have to love them lol. Its a good thing that I don't live any closer to the SPCA or else I would have the entire rattie community that ever walked through their doors

Welcome!

I had a couple of pet rats ( Herman and Jimmy) when I was younger and I loved them to pieces - unfortunately, after about a year I developed an allergy to them - holding them gave me hives :sad: But I agree that they can be super sweet!

Can't wait to see pictures of your whole crew!

Hi, Renay!

Very definitely, pictures of your whole crew are in order. Rats, too! Sorry, Frenchy
