We trap and kill wild mice that are getting into our basement. (Electronic traps rule! They electrocute the little buggers and we leave them out on the fence for our resident red-tailed hawk.<BR/>I hope you can find a pet you ALL can live with!Susan Gets Nativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00216170589750418861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30560632.post-1157258228704079072006-09-02T21:37:00.000-07:002006-09-02T21:37:00.000-07:00Thanks for the feedback.

However, I did have to start using my asthma inhaler today so I can't say I'm feeling hopeful about it.<BR/><BR/>As for rats, we both agree that they would make a great pet buuuuuut we have wild rats around here that we regularly have to trap and it just feels really weird to have a pet rat when we are killing wild ones. Sorry if it upsets you that we are killing the wild rats but we've had them get into the house and that's just more than we can handle. <BR/><BR/>We're still considering options. Poor Ruth is still totally enamoured of the Guinea Pig, Checkers though. I'll post a photo of the kids with the little allergen factory tomorrow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776482696203224923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30560632.post-1157251296727834602006-09-02T19:41:00.000-07:002006-09-02T19:41:00.000-07:00I have 2 Guinea Pigs and think there is something ...I have 2 Guinea Pigs and think there is something peculiar about their fur - it feels very oily.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you'll be able to find one that doesn't bother you. Of my bunnies only one has fur that irritates me - not sure why - hers looks the same as all the others, but it sure does make me itch!LauraHinNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329387562570495570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30560632.post-1157129519705971802006-09-01T09:51:00.000-07:002006-09-01T09:51:00.000-07:00Wow!

The fact that it seemed to bring on asthma is a serious bummer. Hopefully we can catch up this weekend. Love ya!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
