My name is Marie Paduchak. I started this website to talk about my pets and share experiences with you about the pets I own. My first love is for my three cats; Roxy, Hazel and Spencer. Roxy is a blue tabby about 15 years old and her playmate Spencer(A Maine Coon) is approximately 6 years old now in our years. We just recently adopted little Hazel who is now almost 6 months old now. She looks to also have some Maine Coon in her too. They are great fun and I love to play with them. Maine Coons are supposed to be able to swim, I must admit I am curious, but don’t think Spencer would like it much if I threw him in the pool to test out this theory. He’s already very shy and hates men… Spencer is now beginning to warm up to my dad and brother now with a little one in the house. He really likes his new little playmate, Hazel.
I added Tropical Freshwater fish to my pets two winters ago, and so I plan to talk about them here as well. We bought a 30 gallon aquarium about a year ago. My goal is to get some new fish in the fall before school. We really miss Comet the snail who grew to the size of a baseball. She used to para sail in the air bubbles to the top of the tank. We got Comet when she was only the size of a dime. She wasn’t your typical Mystery Snail that’s for sure. We originally thought she was a he until she laid a pile of eggs in the tank lid. We also have Danios, Raspboras, an emerald Catfish, and Tetras. The biggest fish in our tank now is a Plecko who appears to be about a foot long now
Hey, so why should you listen to me when it comes to pets. My dad and mom have alot of experience when it comes to raising dogs and cats. I admit the fish part is pretty new to all of us. Both my parents said they flushed alot of fish, goldfish mostly. They didn’t have nice little tropical schooling fish like I have right now. The only deaths we have had were snails and they tend to have to be replaced quite frequently.Now we’ve had a few fish get old and die as they only typically live a couple years. We did learn one trick here and that was to get the smallest snail possible so that they can grow into your aquarium.I plan to post articles here about cats, freshwater tropical fish and dogs primarily, but I don’t want to exclude other pets.
We also have books on dog training, cat training, and tropical fish so stay tuned as we get those put together and add pictures to our website.
