First Post

I think my name kinda says it all. WishIHadAHorsey, a.k.a. WIHAH (which I think looks cools as well). Ok, what we do have: 1 Golden Retriever named Endy (short for Endymion) known as the Big Dumb Dog (but as lovable as all get out); 3 cats, Mini (51% sweetheart, 49% not-so-sweetheart), Maggie (1001% sweetheart) and Ashley (ruler of the house and all that lives in it); 1 Leopard Gecko who has been with us nearly 5 years; 1 African Clawed Frog named Jumper and 1 Plecostomus named Henry. Normally I would not count what is essentially a fish but Henry is 6 years old, about 7 inches long and survived Katrina in our tank without electricity for 4 weeks. He scared the crap out of me when he moved because I assumed all the fish had died (but apparently they can live on live plants long term). The rest are gone but Henry is still with us. Lot's of time spent on a fish but he is actually that cool.

We used to have a Jackson's Chameleon but the stress of Hurricane Gustov was too much for him. Or I should say the evacuation to our evacuation house farther inland when Gustov dropped a tree on the friggin' house. Would also love to have another Jackson's Chameleon but until we live in a place where you don't need to evacuate, only the hardy animals will stay (yes, Henry stayed home and was just fine). 

Lots of back stories on all the animals but that will come later. 

Missing: 1 horse. Used to have one from ages 8 to 17. Loved them both but do not have time for one (yet).
