the 'LOSTER FISH' (pic on bottom)

So every year my paretns go away for 1-2 months and I take care of all the pets.
Here's our pet list

1 dog
3 cats ( 2 are my sister so she can deal with that)
2 iguanas
2 birds
2 huge fish tanks full of fish
a pond of fish
2 pigs
1 goat
1 ghecko
1 hamster

anyway lasy tear our other goat passed away from pneumonia...so my wonderful FH called the vet, dug a hole, and buried her
then our pig got loose and we lost her. I first noticed at 6am and at 11 we found her. (it was VERY tramtic)
and well everyother little thing that could go wrong, went wrong. the hot tub broke
pool couldnt get clear again...killed a few plants.

Listen this is HARD for one person......noone else does ANYTHING and i really TRY!

so far this year (they left last week)

i was awokened at 6am the morning after they left, to a crying sound, which i soon find out is my sisters cat hiding under a small opening of our bay window and my moms cat trying to hit her. ( my sis cat was declawed from where she adopted her from and my moms is a stray cat that she found and fell in love with) well they dont get along and my sis cat was just crying with wet spots all over..im guessing from where the other one was trying to get her. and my mom had about 3 things that were broken that meant a lot to her, about 20 DVDs everywhere and cases, 2 broken picture frames..need i go on

then last night i went to feed the iguanas (yes they are HUGE like over 3 1/2 feet long) and i usually just shut the cage door ( my dad made them a cage that goes from ceiling to floor with a door and netting all around it. and the cage has 4 different levels...the 2 have to be seperated) and of course the TOP one decides to climb out from the open door. we ALWAYS leave it open..why now! and runs quite fast across the house. FH and my sisters boyfriend try to catch it but the thing is FREAKING out and they are both bleeding in cuts. and the iguana runs behind the entertainment center. ughh so we call our 12 yr old neighbor and he comes over and catches it and gets it back in. now the iguana is POed so takes a running leap from the top of the cage and SMASHES its head against the wall. Then it layed in a corner in plants and between the wall and a crate with its special light in it and hasnt moved since....im totally freaking out! did i really kill another pet.....my mom says it plays dead when its scared ..but i mean for how long??

oh, and as this is going on we hear my sister let out the most blood curdling scream. i go running into the bathroom and there is what looks like a SCORPION on the floor! i start screaming..our NEIGHBORS come running over....FH runs in an squashes it......well we call my mom...it was there 'Special Lobster Fish' and it ALSO got out!! What is a lobster fish!?! OMG!

NOw dont think we have this small house and yard thats filled with animals..cause we DONT......we have a HUGE backyard and they all stay out there for the day......

but WHY WHY WHY does everything go wrong when im babysitting them??

no pets for us

Re: our 'pet dilema' (LONG)

Ummm...that's like me when I was younger and had to babysit my neighbor's kids....they were fine up until 5 mins before the parents came home when 1 falls and cuts his hand and needs stitches, the other one gets a knot on her forehead cause she crashes into her little brother as she is chasing him around the couch (which caused him to fall and cut his hand on his toy firetruck) and they are BOTH screaming...one has a bloody hand and the other a purple forehead...and the parents choose that moment to walk in the front door...oh, i also let the dog in the house cause it was raining out and I felt bad for her and I got busted for that, too!

Hope it all works out! They must KNOW mom and dad aren't home.......

PS: Yeah, what IS a lobster fish ????
