Hi, its good to have you around. Sounds like you really enjoy having animals. My brother was the one in my family that loved animals ever since he was a little boy, he had pony.When he got older he got mostly Tenn.Walking horses that he would put in horse shows,it was so much fun to watch him.
I myself only have one house dog. Just this summer sold 30 head of cattle. Don't get to attached to cattle even though I had a couple favorites. Anyway good luck on your weight loss,you have already done a really good job!!!
