I'm Sue from Acworth, Georgia. Alittle less than 2 weeks ago, my count was 7, but I quess My precious Princess(princey-pie)decided it was time for her to show everyone up at the Bridge what a "real" princess was like. After all, this girl was the Princess that ruled over my heart for 8 1/2 years. As this is not a"how many are at the Bridge" note. & I've had my share & Princess being the very hardest.(I almost didn't write because it is really too soon for that,)I thought my kiddos' should join in the "How Many" furballs, fuzzyluvs" fun, too!! So Now I have Six---3 Boys---3 Girls B O Y S SAMMY: Sam-the-Man, Sam-I-Am, Sammy-Da-Big-Man. CHANCE: Chancers, Chancer-Pants, Chance, the-big boy(who is much younger than Sammy& everyone else is bigger than everyone! STORM: Storm-the-Storm,Little-Man(6 mos younger than Chance and almost as big) G I R L S NIKKI: Nickaroo, Nickapoo, My Nikki-Girl, Nikka,Nikka OSCAR: She is A GIRL!! I adopted HER and that is what they named her, I didn't want to traumatize her anymore by changing her name. She is an extremely gentle,soft,feminine girl ferret I have ever seen! Oskey Poskey, Osca-de-la-ferta, Oskie-Pie ANNIE: Saved from a pet store at about 5 mos. Afraid of people, was never handled very much in the store. When we got her home, we found out why. SHE BITES!!!! She's gotten much better, but I never let anyone else pet or hold her. Ya never know who's a fledgling , over reacting, "Mr. Stiller" Annie-nanny, Annie-da-nanny-goat, Nanny-Goat, JAWS. I could go on forever about incidents, dangerous ones, another, when one of my boys was named after our Vet. I have many permanents back and nuerological problems. When I am with them, I feel so much better. If they only knew the effects they have on us "humans" Sue Pyron [Posted in FML issue 4382]
