Talking Hello from Michigan

Just swinging by to say hi and introduce myself to everyone. I am a 21 year old mother of one. I have a 3 year old Jack Russel Terrier/ Schnouzer mix named Jak (no I did not name him and yes I tried to change it) I also have Tipsy my 9 month old Tiger kitty whom I got as a playmate for my dog after I had my son and the puppy started to feel lonely. Our newest addition is Chops a 9 month old kitten who is one week older then Tipsy. We rescued him from my boyfriends work once his playmate ran off and left him lonely.
We have 3 fish Bob Sam and Angel all betas but they are not too exciting. Oh I should also mention my mice that are living in the kitchen and driving everyone up the wall (almost litterally a couple of times).
I am currently in school for animal behavior and grooming and majoring in mathamatics.
I am also fully aware that my grammar and spelling are horrid.
Hoping to get to know everyone here and see if there is anything that I can be helpful with and hoping that you all can help me out as well with any questions that may come.

Welcome,

One thing, Schnauzers were originally bred to be ratters, and my older dogs would always do chores with me. If there was a mouse within their range, it was one dead mouse. I had to watch the dogs didn't take the cat's real mice away.

Your Jack could possibly get a couple of them for you.

take care of all your critters

Lol Thank you all for the warm welcome

Binky- If my dog wasnt scared of his own shadow it would be awesome but the last time he came nose to nose with the a mouse he wouldnt get out from under the bed for an hour. But luckily the cats do a decent job as long as they decide to get off there butts and do something...

Melinda-No the mice are not pets altho I used to have rats. They just inhabit my kitchen luckily its starting to warm up so they will go outside for the season.
