Meet the Critters
I'd like to introduce you to my pets. First up is Frenchie, my beloved Eastern Map Turtle.
Not only is she the critter I've lived with the longest out of my current menagerie, she's by far the least demanding. I've had her since 2002, when a friend decided that keeping her wasn't all that interesting anymore. She's got two goldfish friends that keep her company in the tank, so I suppose one could say she's got pets of her own!
Next up is my pet rabbit, Bailey. My brother got her for me around Easter time from a pet store in 2005. She's the most affectionate furry pet I've ever had the pleasure of co-habitating with. She'd rather be held than play freely about the room, and she loves to be held like a baby. Another cute thing about Bailey is that she makes a cooing sound when you hold her and pet her.
Sadly, Bailey is currently living with her Uncle John because my husband and I developed a severe allergy to furry animals over this past summer. My sweet little bunny no longer lives with me, but I stop by often to give her some love and to take care of her.
Lastly, we have my "kids", Genghis and Isis. They are African Sulcata Tortoises who came to live with us because my husband got them for me as an anniversary gift back in 2003. A local pet store was going out of business, and both the pet store owner and my husband knew that I had wanted to try my skill at keeping a tortoise. A little haggling, combined with the liquidation sale at the pet store procured me not one tortoise, but a matched set!
These two are perpetual toddlers -- they don't listen, they get into EVERYTHING, and they have the attention span of a gnat. Genghis is the one on the right in this photo. He tends to be the more sedate one of the duo, and Isis is the instigator. She's infinitely more curious, more brave, and a much bigger mischief maker. They each weigh about 30 pounds, and are supposed to live to 100 years old or more.
Well, those are my critters. I hope you enjoyed meeting them as much as I enjoyed introducing them to you!

I think that the online productivity tools are amazing! What an exciting alternative to the uber-expensive Microsoft Office suite. I think that online productivity tools are the wave of the future. The features available, coupled with the fact that they can be opened in any number of office suite programs makes them much more functional than Microsoft Office.
