I was just going through all my bookmarks and realized I hadn't signed up here yet. So yep, here I am! I probably know a bunch of you from lj land. =)

My name is Katie, I'm 18, and I'm addicted to pets. =P

(I bet I'm not the only one around here!)

I have twenty pets right now.

=D

Right now I'm the proud Mommy of two hamsters. Sammich & Shifferanne.

My love of hamsters started a long time ago. My sn (that I've been using on everything for years and years) actually comes from the name of my very first hamster. Jabeeberz lived over 5 years and was just so amazing. And so the addiction started.

Since Jabeeberz I have had Cutie (my brother called her that so much that by the time I picked out a name everyone was just calling her that!), Shifferanne, Fiona, Arnold, and Sammich.

I have lots of pictures and stories so you'll be seeing me around here a lot from now on! *wave*

Hey Katie how is life in Maine? Are you at school or working? Curious as to what pets you all have. Please tell us more. jabeeberz sure was a long-lived hamster. You will need to share your tips with us

Welcome Katie!

Nice to meet ya Katie!

Awwwww, thanks for the warm welcome.

My pets are:

2 guinea pigs - Chloe and Zoe

2 cats - George and Nellie

1 german shepard - Ruger

1 rabbit - Widget

my two hamsters I already mentioned - Sammich and Shifferanne

and 12 goldfish - Schmoovin, Petchup, Windmill, Dorothy, Elmo, Tulip, Pippi, Zombie, Vancelot, Waffles, Boo, and Donkey

Now goldfish might not seem like big pets to most people....

But they all have such unique personalities and they're very very spoiled. I love them all insanely.

Some of them even like to snuggle against my hand when I'm moving things around in their tanks. =)

I've had a lot more pets than that in the past but I prefer to only keep as many as I can properly give lots of love and attention. I take in rescue animals sometimes though, so I usually have quite the busy little zoo. Unfortunately some of them don't live long though. In spite of my best efforts. =\

I'm "homeschooled" through an internet correspondence school.

Indeed, Beebz lived a very long time but it's really beyond me why he did. He never had any health problems or anything. It was crazy. I mean, he was very spoiled and very loved etc. but yeah, I don't see any difference between the way I took care of him and the way I take care of my little ones now. I wish I did know!

Oh, and if anyone is as into pets as me and would like to add me on lj my sn is zombiehumper.

Thanks again for the warm welcome. =D

Wow, you have almost as many pets as my family does.

I friended you on LJ (sn's amnerisryn, same as on here). The pic of Shifferanne is so cute!

Oh goldfish are definitely pets - my sister's fancy goldfish swims up to blow bubbles at you when you peer in her tank.
