Nate finally went to go see an allergist a week ago, and he found out that he's allergic to everything (well, except cedar). He's not as allergic to cats as he is to dogs, and he's nowhere near as allergic to dogs as he is to horses (sorry, kids, no pony!). So when the cats shuffle off this mortal coil, we won't be getting any more furries.
That's got me thinking about what we might get later. I love the idea of the kids having a pet because it teaches them to treat animals well and to take an interest in something outside of themselves. (As they get older, they might even learn a bit of responsibility.)
My aunt and uncle have 3 desert tortoises in their back yard. Every time we go visit them, Ryan gets really excited about feeding them. They're low maintenance; they eat the grass in the back yard (and sometimes a little zucchini or lettuce that Ted and Arlene leave out), they hibernate for six months of the year, they don't need to be cleaned, etc. However, they live in Las Vegas. It might be a little more complicated here because you have to prepare a place for them to hibernate (like a box in the basement). . . .
Hopefully, we'll have plenty of time to figure out our next pet, but I'd love to hear if anyone has a great non-furry pet idea. :D

You know.. I think fish are hypo-allergenic.
Seriously though.. hopefully be the time the cats 'bugger off this mortal coil' (as they say)... by then my allergy will be under control!
Mike and I have always said that if we could ever afford it (or find a place for it) that we would love to have a salt water aquarium. Obviously it would have to be big enough to make it worth our while, but small enough that it is still easy to maintain. I would love to have some beautiful tropical fish.
I hate that I'm not an animal person. Cats are more my personality type, but I really hate the fur everywhere. Dogs are energetic and cheerful, but much more high maintenance. I'm disgusted by reptiles, and rodents (ie: snakes and rats), and I could never own a tarantula, ferret or bird (smelly and loud). So where does that leave me? Back to square one: FISH.
Nemo!
