Wow, thanks for all the replies everyone!

Cyber-sibes, I adore siberian huskies, they are so beautiful. I bet your dogs will love playing on the beaches in RI - I know mine do!

Critter-Crazy, that might be the longest list of animals I've ever seen! Someday I really hope that I live in a setting that will allow me to have such an impressive menagerie! A red eared slider was my first pet ever - his name was Shelly (original huh?!) My love for animals never stopped from there - I had guinea pigs, mice, all kinds of fish, and even some baby squirrels that were orphaned when their mom got hit by a car. That was quite an adventure!

Daisy and Delilah are SO cute! and Zippy, thank you for the welcome
