Meet Our New Pet

Check out what we found at the 99 cents store today:


The kids are really excited about our new pet. So far our Venus Flytrap has impressively consumed a mealworm. Should we name him Seymour?

--Laurel

("Seymour" or whatever we'll call him now joins our pet crew of Fernando, the leopard gecko and Rosie, the chilean rose tarantula. Apparently we have a thing for scary carnivorous pets!)

Will the children be responsible for this little creature as well?

I hope he doesn't try to eat the tarantula...

Is this new pet a 'subliminal purchase" influenced by the excessive viewing of a 70's, Cincinnati based sitcom that also provided a source for the naming of one of your offspring??? If this pet should become ill, will you be calling Dr. Johnny Fever???

Hmmm...just wondering...

Wow. I didn't think about the WKRP connection.

Maybe my family should go into therapy and figure out what's going on. If you see me wearing a platinum blonde wig, going by the name of Jennifer you have my permission to have me committed!
