Our Family
Here is our little family.  We have a cairn terrier/cocker spaniel hybrid dog named Natty, a cat named Miyu, two zebra finches- Annabelle and Chipper, a gerbil named Ricki, two Egyptian spiny mice named Curly Sue and Alex, and a tankful of regular pet mice that we breed and sell- among them that are keepers: Carl and Cinnamon.  We also have around 100 houseplants that Heather loves like children.  There are also 3 fish tanks: a tank with guppies we just let randomly breed, a tank with a crawfish named Crabby Al and about 7 gouramies that we are afraid of, and a small marine tank with a hermit crab that we have never named.

Here is Schmuli and Natty looking out the window during a car ride.  That is Heather's mother in the front seat.

Schmuli has taken up the habit of nursing on Natty.  It is quite funny.  But he bit her nipple today, so we'll she if she lets him do it again.
Little Schmuli playing.  He is actually very gentle, though he doesn't look it here.
