Animals

	I have two beagles Barney and Misty. They are both tri-colored AKC registered beagles. Barney is brown, tan, and white (Pedigree). Barney is the oldest and has been with us since he was about six months old. He was born in July 1995. Barney loves to ride in the car. He wasn't too sure about the situation when I brought Misty home for the first time but he has grown to put up with her.
Misty is black, tan, and white (Pedigree). I got Misty when she was about seven weeks old. She was born in August of 1998. She is definitely the troublemaker in the house. Her entire life consists of only four activities: Eating, Sleeping, terrorizing Barney, and chewing on anything she shouldn't.
	I am also kept company by a little kitten named Autumn. She was born in late 2003. She was sitting outside my work one day all cold and tiny. I had to rescue her. I am allergic to cats but seem to have no issues with this little cougar. She is very energetic. She follows me around like a puppy. She isn't shy at all. Her adventures around the house sometimes gets her into trouble - she has gotten stuck behind the refrigerator on more than one occasion.
Fish, fish, and more fish. I have had many aquariums. My fascination with fish goes back as far as I can recall. Even as a child we had an aquarium. My first memory dealing with aquariums was when I was very young. My parents had a tank in our living room. I don't think we could ever keep anything alive in it, at least I don't recall any fish. I remember we were at a lake and collected a couple snails to put in the tank... the next memory was picking the millions of snails out of that tank. I guess that would also count as my first introduction to aquarium breeding. I am now happy to say that I am much more successful at keeping fish alive. Having said all that I currently have no aquariums running. I am sure I will fire it up shortly but I am taking a little break. You can see some of what I have kept in the past on my D. J.'s Lil' Fishies site.
