Just wanting to introduce my pets. I really love animals.
The first picture is of my zebra finches. They were enjoying a nice afternoon bath.
Next is my betta fish named Hank. My father-in-law gave him to me and so I named the fish after him.
These are just a few of my chickens. They are Crested Polish and a cross between crested polish and lakenvelder.
And we always save the best for last. This is my poodle Patches. He is 10 years old and thinks he rules the house. His hobbies are playing with his toys and feeding the catfish in the pond (actually eating the fish food but he thinks he is doing something great). If you say feed the fish you have to go and feed the fish or he will drive you nuts, lol. Which is what we were doing in this picture. He just got through eating a little feed.

You have a nice assortment of lovely creatures to keep you company!  The finches are pretty, and your betta has the loveliest colour. I like that crest on the hens. Your Patches has the most adorable face. Please pat him from me.

I have never seen such a dark blue Beta. He is beautiful. And Patches is a doll. You can tell he 'rules the roost'!

Finches are the lovliest birds to watch. Patches is the best model for photos - so intelligent looking. Thank you for introducing them.

Little bubble nest, but the water needs to be very still.

They like their water a little dirty. Put a mirror up to it, and watch the show. Just don't leave it to long, he'll wear himself out.
