The Menagerie

Since 2006, our household has hosted 2 cats and a menagerie of other animals including long haired guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, frogs, fish, 3+ hedgehogs,  and briefly our nephew’s chinchilla and niece’s bearded dragon.

In 2018, we have:

  • Two cats (joined in 2006):  Althea & Alyssa (from the Pat Brody shelter)
  • Two dogs (joined in 2013): Sawyer & Maggie (from Save Them All Rescue)
  • Two rabbits (joined in 2016): Jacin & Wynter (from a breeder/rescue)
  • Two short haired guinea pigs (~2017): Hazel and Oreo (PetSmart)
  • Nine chickens (joined in 2017; originally 11, but 2 died of peritonitis; from “Littleton Agway”)
    • Barred Rock: Star, Stripe (Lydia calls her Explosion)
    • Buff Orpingtons: Luna, Wendy
    • Easter Eggers: Bess, Calista, Dusty, Sirena (RIP Henny Penny)
    • Rhode Island Red: Ginny (RIP Amelia)

We think we have enough.  For now.
