And people give me s**t because of the mini zoo at my house. I have: the wife, a baby due in 3 months, a 6 month old Akita, (my avatar) 6 parakeets, a 2 1/2, 29, 40 breeder and 3 cats. Our first 2 cats were adopted at separate animal shelters at two different posts where I was stationed and our 3rd and most recent arrival is a cat that I adopted in Afghanistan and was able to bring home from Afghanistan thanks to an awesome dog rescue group called Puppy Rescue Mission that I found on Facebook. (Sorry, but I had to give them a plug because they do awesome work helping Soldiers and Marines bring animals home that we adopted while deployed and they need all the help they can get. If you are interested in donating, they can be found on Facebook and they are a registered Non For Profit.)
