    Hi, I'm Billie!

    I registered here several months ago and never got around to making a post yet...I must have lost the link, I apologize!  Anyway just thought I would do a "hello post"!  Better late than never. 

    I live in Raleigh, NC, and work a part-time job in the mornings, while trying to run a fledgling art business from home, in the afternoons and weekends, I paint mostly pet portraits. 

    We've got three dogs ourselves (2 Min Pins and a Min Pin mix) and 4 cats (all mixed). Also several tanks of fish.....well more of a fish farm, to be honest!  They keep breeding (Jellybean Cichlids) and we're going to trade them to the pet store we frequent for store credit, when they get big enough.  We have about 200 baby fish right now.

    Between all the critters, and the jobs, and oh that's right my husband.... LOL....pretty busy.  I also moderate several forums too.  I LOVE THE INTERNET!  lol

    Anyway just wanted to say hello!  [sm=happy.gif]
     
    Oh and here's a link to photos of our pets....except the fish!

    Thank you!
     
    And at first I thought...."WHAT dance?"....then I remembered.... yes that photo is legendary.  A repeat performance almost every night, but it's hard to get a photo of.  I wish I had it on video (our dog Echo humping on Mojo, one of the cats...I know it's a display of dominance but it's alternately funny and gross....lol!).

    Noooo.....sowwwwwy.  [:D]   My husband says NO MORE ANIMALS until nature takes its course and the pack is reduced some (and I'm in no hurry to lose anyone we have, of course!!) I've tried to talk him into getting another dog but he won't budge, and I see his point....more food and vet bills, plus it wouldn't be fair to the ones we already have.  One of our dogs (Echo, the littlest one) is very possessive of me.  The next dog we get will be a sighthound of some kind, most likely a Whippet.    [:)]
