No, but I believe you, I had 2 birds and a turtle...
Since I got married and in 27 years of being a parent we've had, a cat, three dogs, 4 ferrets, a bunny, a chicken, turtles, mice, hamsters, two rats, 3 leopard Geckos, an Iguana, fish, frogs, hermit crabs, two love birds (one murdered by the ferrets), an abandoned squirrel, a wounded ground squirrel that my son brought home one day after a hawk dropped it. My wife the nurse stitched it up and it lived, much to my regret. I held my ground on snakes. NO SNAKES!
Now understand I never wanted any pets, as I knew that despite all promises to take care of them and clean up after them by wife and kids, I always ended up with the job. Needless to say I was and remain a sucker for my wife and kids.
It's been two months now that I've finally been pet free since my married daughter took the two dogs with her.
It's been heaven!
