Welcome to our Menagerie.

We also have various other critters running around. DC has a few buddies who come around and visit several nights a week. It would be funny watching her trying to get out to "play" with them if it weren't the middle of the night. There is a house mouse or two (I wish that was all there was) running around. DC has long gotten tired of chasing them. We used to have a porch opossum, grill birds, and under-the-house snakes. We plan to leave the snakes alone until they decide to come into the house. Then its bye-bye snakey.
In case you were wondering about the grill birds, we had an old barbeque grill on the front porch. A pair of birdies decided that it would be the perfect place to raise their family. After the eggs hatched, you could hear the babies chirping everytime you went out the door. It was great fun when my wife opened the lid to check on the babies and one of them jumped out. Of course, I had to catch it and put it back. We couldn't let any of DC's buddies get it. We sure were glad when they finally learned to fly.
I have tried talking the wife into getting a horse, cow, goat, or something, but she says that I am all the livestock she needs.
