I'm not a fish person, but my dad has Oscars downstairs and some other fish. Oscars let you pet them and beg to be fed.

Forgot, I also had a cage for my dog, so when I was at work, he was in his cage sleeping on his bed. It also kept accidents in one place if there was any. While at home, he was loose. Had to invest in paper towels and some cleaners to clean the cage a couple times due to accidents.

  these are my nieghbors chickens who visit my yard......   they are messy  and I dont like them.....  my neighbors have around 40 of them  and raises them in the bottom half of there split level home..... its a real mess....

When I lived in Connecticut my neighbor had free range chickens.  They would come into my yard all the time and I would shoo them back.  One day my then wife called me at work very upset.  She told me there there was a bunch of the neighbors chickens at the end of our driveway.  I asked what the problem was and she said she was worried they would go in the street and get hit by a car.  I could not resist...I asked her, "why would the chickens cross the road?"  She did not think it was as funny as I did.  I worked 50 miles away, what did she expect me to do?

I lost Ming today. She passed away sometime last night. We buried her this afternoon in the front side yard. I planted some blue bonnet seeds over her grave. She was 16 years old.
