Now that I am a stay at home mom and am housebound I have a computer/research addiction - geneology. Prior to this I had a pretty active life, showing and handling dogs, breeding samoyeds and collies and himalayan and siamese cats. Bred a few little pet dogs for a short while after this. My favorite were the sammy's, bred the #3 sammy in canada, and #1 puppy. Of course now you can't beat all the family things together, soccer, hikes and playing family games. A very good way to spend family time.

In no particular order, sailing and boating, mountain biking, orchids, and ocean and aquatic life and related activities so aquariums, diving and snorkeling all sort of count into that IMO. Camping. Dreaming of a better life. Music (playing and listening). Woodworking.

I work with computers and software and don't really consider those among my interests any longer, although I did when I was growing up. Expertise and interest apparently don't go hand in hand.

Kids and pets are not hobbies, so I don't list them here, but it should go without saying that I do enjoy sharing my hobby pursuits and activities with my kids.

Holy moly, a 300g frog tank? That sounds epic. I'd love to see more of that when you get it going. Wouldn't the darts simply get lost in there or how many are you thinking of housing and what kind?

One of my next projects will be a dart frog tank but probably something a little smaller.

Seems like everyone has dogs that is in this hobby?!?! And yes, I have 3, 2 yorkies, and 1 black lab cross. They take alot of time. I have 2 tanks running so they take alot of time. I do anything outdoors ie:fishing, camping, hunting. The outdoors stuff is why I need Steve this summer to take care of the fishthen I have more time for it. And if i have any other time, I build plastic models. The model building has been my hobby for a long time now. Really enjoy it.
