    speaking of updates our cat (see avatar) died 6 weeks ago, the last of 3 uninvited cats who adopted us over the last 11 years.

    He was the nearest thing to a dog that a cat could be and we both miss him dreadfully.

    I would like a hamster. They are not allowed in NZ, but every pet market in Asia sells multitudes of dwarf hamsters and they are the teeniest cutest little critters!! (I'm guessing your one is a golden hamster though).

    I have a dwarf hamster (a rescue from someone who kept losing it...) and it's got to be well into its fourth year now! Dwarf hamsters are quite common in the UK, I've owned several along with a fair few goldens as well! :p

    Haha yep we named her Tilly after the Orca Whale in the San Diego Zoo (Tilikum). She is a very large black and white ocellaris Clown Fish.

    I have shown and ridden a bit of everything from English eq/pl, western eq/pl, dressage, hunter/jumper, barrels, poles, showmanship/halter, reining,etc. But I focus mainly on hunter/jumper and barrel racing now. Of coarse I keep up on dressage with all of my horses but I really don't care to show dressage anymore, not incredibly fun lol. I haven't done any showing this year though :( Not enough time.

    My pets are Dermestid beetles, they're cute (especially baby larvae) and very helpful in preparing skeletal specimens from smallest birds to ungulates :)

    I currently own three rabbits (one female and two males) and a hen, all named, as well as a pond with goldfish in it. There is a chance that I will get quails soon; preferably King Quails.
