Update on why I have been away....Well my exhusband wanted to move in with his mother therefore I had to get rid of my little Raisins. It was sad to see him go, but I really wish that I had kept him. I am now remarried to a wonderful man and we have a 18 month old and my 7 yr old from my first marriage. We don't have any pets, due to the size of our apartment and the fact that he has some allergies; however, I am working on getting something that is small and that won't bother his allergies--he is mainly allergic to dogs and cats. So I am looking at a Chin or a Guinea Pig. It is good to be back.
