this is my max

i have two main hobbies and many other interests since i have a.d.d.

my one main hobby are my pets. I have 3 dogs and 7 cats. It started out as one stray female cat, who i didnt realize that she was pregnant with 6 kittens, otherwise she would have been taken to p.a.w.s. as a rescued pet. that is how my little  family grew overnight. Since its been colder than normal here in north carolina, i have had several unexpected *pets* come in with my plants that can not tolerate the cold. There is now one toad living in my ponytail palm pot, one super green tree frog living on what plant i am not sure of, and we have geckos living in my plant area in my dining room. i love furry pets, so the amphibians are quite unusual to me to take care of. i pretty much leave them alone and they leave me alone. except the toad. we call him le toad(after flushed away) and he has become kind of a watch toad since we have had the heating&cooling people in and out of our home fixing the furnace. he will sit amongst my long planter of lemon grass and stone crop, watching them come and go, making sure that they dont take any of his plants i guess. lol my dogs are my kids, and i protect them first. i try to make sure that no plants come into the house that will harm them, since my noelle will eat anything that doesnt eat her first. my dogs & cats get along fine, but we still take care of each carefully since noelle doesnt realize how big she is compared to the smaller cats. we have three neutered male cats(spot,grayson and addie) and four female inside cats(mama,tigerlily,baer(bear)and cuteness).cuteness is a long-hair cute(lol) cat who is very loving. my husband and i have not chosen which ones are each others, they pick and choose who they love and on which day it happens. though addie loves me to death. he has taken recently to putting his paw on my well, since your sitting at a computer, it would be my right cheek and licking my chin. lol its sooooooooo cute!!! noelle needs her ears rubbed before i can go to sleep and max has to sleep beside me on the floor(has since i got him at 3 mths) and sasha is a daddy's girl. has to be near my husband at all times. those are my dogs*kids* and we have decided that all we need for kids are these animals. my husband has a daughter from a previous relationship, but she does not stay with us, her choice, which is fine with us. teenagers! anyway, thats all for now, i gotta get going and cuddle with my babies! to all the people i buy plants from- THANK YOU!! lol
