Sixteen Pets; Three Stages of Cardigan Silliness

To all of you who were wondering, after yesterday’s post, what pets we have at our house, here’s what we got animal-wise:

2 Caridgan Welsh Corgis

1 long-haired Chihuahua

2 Maine Coon cats

2 house rabbits

1 eclectus parrot

1 orange-wing amazon parrot

1 cockatiel

2 parakeets

3 goldfish

1 panda hamster

I added it up and got 36 pets, but my owner says it’s only 16. They all live inside. My owner calls our house The Farm. He says we have so many pets because 1) he loves animals and has no sense, 2) his kids love animals and want every pet imaginable, 3) his wife loves animals but wasn’t allowed to have any pets while growing up; she’s making up for lost time. It adds up to lots of noise and fun! As you can imagine, our vet and pet supply store love us as customers.

Look what my owner came up with while playing with some photos of me on his computer:

It represents the Three Stages of Cardigan Silliness. It starts at the ears, inhabits the area behind my eyes, and is carried out by the rest of my body! How about that !?

Checkers, Wow 16 pets, and I thought my house was crazy with my sister Sara (lab) and my mom’s 4 crazy cats! I do love chasing the cats though….Russ (a Cardigan Corgi too)

great post checkers! love the pictures together like that!

cody bear wants to know what those little pets taste like….he’s a sick sick dog!

I want to see the rabbits. I LOVE rabbits. I wasn’t allowed to have pets growing up either. I’m making up for it now with my two chihuahuas. :)

16 pets. Yes it is a farm. What does you mom and dad do when they have to go out of town? Do they want my pet sitter?

I like your three stages of cardigan silliness. Although you don’t need a picture to show your silliness. We can all see it in your blog posts.

Wow that’s a lotta critters all together. It must be a loving happy home. Goodness you’re all chopped up. How odd….

What, no flamingo?

You’re right! We gotta get a flamingo! I’ll ask my owner…

Picasso Checkers. Nice! Whoa! That’s a lot of pets there. Wouldn’t want to do the cleaning up bit but it would be fun to be a part of that lot!

Wow, that’s a lot of pets. And I’d never heard of panda hamsters before, but after looking them up - they’re awfullly cute!

I love the progression of silliness as documented by the photos! That’s too much fun. Mom thought we had a lot of pets with 2 dogs and 3 cats, but….

Whoa. What a menagerie! …. Checkers looks like one of those flip books for kids . . . What’s a panda hamster? Black’n'white?

Wow, that makes our family seem small!

From the house of one St. Bernard, one cat, and two house rabbits, may I just say that I approve of the Animal House you have!
