I can't live with any furry or feathered animals. I've tried being around the ones that are supposed to be allergy-proof, but I still have breathing problems. My system is just very sensitive. I can be with animals for about an hour or so, but then the allergy and asthma kicks in. I'm okay with it really. It makes it easier to keep my house when it's just me here. Also, I can't afford veterinarian bills.


I don't know what I would do if I couldn't have a pet, since I've been around animals my entire life. But I know how difficult it is to live with allergies and asthma; my triggers are grass and tree pollen. Needless to say, my dog is a full-time indoor pet who doesn't get to roll around in the freshly mowed grass even though he tries. :lol:

My betta is a blend of red, blue, and purple. Really hard to describe. And photography doesn't capture all the colors very well. I still haven't named him. Sometimes, he's "Mr. Fishy" Other times, I call him "Finny". So, maybe he's "Mr. Finny Fishy?" :lol:

Shandeh, how about Fishny? Hee hee

Love all the pets and photos. Where would we be without our furry friends. Or in your case Shabdeh, scaley friends. :-)

I'll see if I can find a picture of my Bandit. My computer got sick and I lost everything. So if I can't find one, I'll take a pic and post it so you can see my lifesaver. :-)

Shandeh, you sound so happy with your fish! :D Now you have me eyeing this big brandy snifter shaped vase and how a fish would look in it... and how my 3 cats would look up on the table trying to "play" with him. :stop: Guess he will swim in my imagination. Ever watch Disney's Fantasia- remember the scene with the two fish- one black, one gold; the music from Nutcracker Suite- Arabian Dance- always been one of my favorites. :hellogoodbye:

One of my all-time favorite movies--I watch it often!!!!! I have a beautiful Fantasia coffee mug that a friend gave me years ago and then the Disney store stopped carrying them--bummer.
