All in all, my cats were pretty good. The current crop of canines is
one female black lab and a male golden retriever. Both are smart and
well-behaved. Plus, they'll chase the neighbor's geese off my
property--something that a cat would never do.
But I wouldn't trade my little "colony"
of chinchillas for anything.
They're just too much fun to watch (especially the little 'uns!) :)
Fur critters, huh? I'm fighting a running battle with some nutria
that keep invading my pond, but they are definitely not "cute".
