Now that is just the saddest thing I have ever heard! I have to admire your daughter though. Brave soul.

My son has loved many salamandars just a little too hard, too. You have to keep your hands wet for those froggy and salamandar types, you know. Oh well, lessons learned.

That is soooo funny- thanks for the laugh today. I have a boy and I’m so not ready for all the icky animals he’ll want to bring home.

Oh I am laughing so hard right now! I am sure Emme doesn’t think it’s all that funny, but I sure do.

I am right there with ya on the “no pets” rule. Please don’t rescind it! You’re my hero.

(Eight years of cleaning up after cats was enough for this lifetime.)

The children always look at me accusingly when someone asks if we have any pets. “No” they say in unison, “Mom’s got ALLERGIES” I might as well sew on the old scarlet A and ring my bell before me saying, “Unclean, uncelan”

I DO have allergies, but that isn’t the only reason we don’t have a pet. It’s just the only reason that can’t be met with a statement like: “But I PROMISE I’ll take care of it!” Yeah, right.

Wait til they find out I can take allergy medicine . . . .

When I was little, all our animals were stray. Mom wasn’t fond of them. Mostly not fond of cats, but I always managed to get food to those creatures. Some were dogs.

But I have fond memories of Freddie frog. I had him in a cage of sorts and took him to school with me. I can’t remember how long he stayed there. I also remember when my dad stopped along the road and picked up turtles. He’d put them in the back seat with me. It’s hard to keep a turtle in a blocked in area in the back yard. It either climbed over the bricks or dug down in the ground, but either way, I lost him!

There was a starling that showed up at our house that was pretty tame. He always wanted to land on either my hand or my head. I learned to wear a hat. It wasn’t THAT tame. All we had to do was yell out “Rosenthal” and he flew to our screen door.

Ahh. The joys and heartaches of having “pets.”

That was funny.
I had a friend who fried her froggies in the sun once. The water evaporated and most of the frogs did too. We both found what was left of them on her back porch. Shriveled wrinkled blackened frog bodies glued to the fake pink pebbles in their tank. She cried. But she learned never to leave frogs out in the hot sun again.
