16. Breed a litter of rats
Thinking about this still makes me very sad. I bred Addie to a very sweet dumbo male but the pregnancy went bad and I had to rush my little princess to an exotic vet for a life saving surgery. She lost both of her unusually large babies. I enjoyed the experience of prenatal care, and up until she had trouble with the birth, but I don't think I will attempt a rat breeding again.
30. Watch a semi-scary movie (Halloween, Scream) while cuddling with someone I love. Do this when I don’t have to sleep alone!
I watched Rob Zombie's Halloween with Jake, not realizing how terrifying I would find that movie. It was not only jump scary and freaky, it was just plain psychologically disturbing. I did enjoy the cuddling with someone I love but in retrospect I should probably stick to movies that don't make me want to hide under my bed for a week.
And don't worry. I didn't sleep alone. I had Bunny and Happy.
85. Go to a dog show
I did this shortly after I formed my bucket list. I attended the Hoosier Kennel Club's AKC breed show and enjoyed myself immensely. I want to own lots of dogs, but there are many breeds I will never get close to except at a dog show!
