I've had parakeets, they were permited out of their cage for an hour
or so when I was around to watch them but as they got older they
prefered to stay in their cage. I've had all sorts of pets, even an
outdoor box turtle living in our small city sized yard that
disappeared during winter and reappeared in spring. I've had
terariums with frogs and salamanders. I've had lots of tropical fish.
I even had an ant farm for a while until my mother said the ants go or
she goes, she said she couldn't sleep because she felt like ants were
crawling on her. I've always had pets. Some people shouldn't have
pets, they wouldn't even care for a chia pet.
