Zoo babies.

I live in a zoo. 

That used to be a metaphor.  It described the chaos and crazy that accounted for our day to day life.

Now, it's actually true.  With three dogs, three cats, countless fish and a bazillion birds...I'm certain that we could start charging admission.  I'm fairly certain that we spend more on pet food than we do at Kroger for us.  

That being said, I love them all.  Each of them bring something to our family.  Sometimes though, all they bring is craziness.

Sunday night, Zoe woke me at 4 am to go out because when she went out before bed, she was too busy drinking rain out of the down spouts to remember to pee.  Monday, I spend precious time that I should have been working scrubbing cat vomit out of the carpet (and why is it they can't throw up once..in ONE spot?)  And today, I spend a considerable amount of time coaxing Cat #3 out of the tree (she's afraid of cat #2 who does not belong to us!).

I couldn't live without them...but this week I'm having trouble living with them.

So I'm relaxing with a cocktail, hoping that tomorrow is animal disaster free.  If not, I'll be relaxing with several cocktails tomorrow!
