The work doesn't scare me its the supporting my family the first few months without my other job. I know starting up will take time for the revenue to come in but I also know its worth the step.
For example, we have 2 pet stores 45 minutes away, we cleaned out our salt water tank last night and now we are in need of salt for it to get it up to spec.... GUESS what... 1 pet store (just fish store) was closed for the EASTER weekend and the other store was out. OMG! I am praying that I can make it through another day without my saltwater tank crashing and my fish dying. :( Course I blame hubby for this since he didnt think it through cleaning it we would need salt. lol! always blame the hubby. Course we thought the fish store would be opened and she threw us off by being closed.
So I know there is a need I know I am not the only one in town with a salt water tank... :confused:

Thanks again for so much information. Tell Mike I really appreciate all the time he gave me and all the information that he gave me. What wonderful people.
Now off I go for web searching til I am crosseyed !
Kim :eek:
I have one tip, Make A Web Page! Tell people what is in your store and encourage them to come to your store. Also offer an online purchase option.
Kim,
Any news on your store? We were curious!
Mike and Molly
Yes, I am very curious. :)
Any updates on your store?
Bump. Please reply, finisfriends. Does anyone know where he/she is?
Well thank you for all your concerns... I had a little set back financially and have to put the pet store on back burner but hopefully not for long.
IT IS STILL MY DREAM and I do plan on opening but unfortunately not as fast as I wanted it open. I am still doing all the research that I can on it and I have my name picked out, business cards (minus info), wall colors, how I want it arranged etc all picked out or visualized in my head lol so its still just all in the making.
I have added to my home zoo lol the last few months... as I had reported when I first signed up I had to my male ferret down feb 13th and now have gotten a new male. Zoe's in 7th heaven because shes got another playmate.
My aunt gave me her ferret because she felt like she was not giving him enough time so we know have "ENZO" and Zoe and OMG hes nothing like she is. He runs full force and I swear he doesn't stop! He is twice the size of Zoe but he does try to be a gentle giant.. :)
I have also gotten 2 new male degu (frick n frack and nope i didnt name them) and are just a hoot! We of course have added more fish ( 2 parrot fish (molly and polly), 1 shark, 7 sucker fish, and well my guppies are still giving me lots and lots and did I say lots of babies? lol We just got another 46 gallon tank that we are getting ready to turn into a saltwater tank. The one we have we got and it was already set up so this will be our first saltwater tank that we will actually start from scratch ourselves.
But part of my not being here is putting in extra hrs at work and of course taking care of all my babies. I do appreciate all the concern and yes I still want my pet store and still doing my research and still making a list of things I want and need. I can't wait til I can get on here and tell you when the grand opening is and all the other good news!
take care!
Kim
