Our Pets (Kind of) ...

To answer everyone's burning questions ... Dave and Erin are still without kids. We don't even have any pets because Erin is allergic to anything with fur. We had a fish once, because Dave thought a fish tank would look pretty, but that only lasted as long as Erin could tolerate doing all the "fish care" herself.

So now we've opted for animals of the stuffed kind. We have two "pets". Our dog Russell is a lathargic little fellow who enjoys long naps on Dave & Erin's bed as well as being regularily vacuumed and the occassional snack of green shoe-string licorice.

Last summer we added Shaemus the sheep to our now growing family. Shaemus joins us from Victoria, BC where we adopted him while tourist shopping downtown. Being not so bright (as most sheep are) Shaemus follows his animal instints by habitually snacking on just about anything within his reach. Erin is currently in the process of writing down his unruly eating habits in the future hopes of publishing a children's book entitled, "Shaemus the Sheep Likes To Eat ... ".
