Well it took you long enough to figure out your in Illinois didnt it? :rolleyes: Are you sure your not a blonde? :rofl:

@ Foschi Exotics

That was so funny!! Its all true!! Its going to be so weird when we move to CO. Hope no one asks me to say words with O's in them, :rofl:!

630 Represent!

I am in Ill, 847 code!!!! Hey all See you at the Wheaton show today?

Wheaton was pretty thin this past weekend...Almost walked out with a Hedgie though or and Old English Bulldog (bummed he wouldn't take a snake in trade...LOL)... :O:O

It seems like that show is only good about every 2 or 3 shows depending on weather. If its really hot or really cold, its going to suck. No one wants to go all that way and transport tons of animals in those conditions. Maybe the next one will be good since this one wasn't so good.
