@PhoenixAzul- I would agree with you that your dogs are the most perfect creatures in the world (they are quite adorable) but then my princess of a dog would have a fit. She thinks she's the ruler of the world, princess of it, and perfect in every way. She's 10 pounds of amazingness.

Also, to add to this thread, my puppy slept with me in my bed for the first time ever last night! She NEVER sleeps with me, always with my parents. But last night my stepdad wasn't in the greatest mood and so I think she took refuge with me! She left toward the morning to go sleep with my parents again, but it was wonderful. I love her so much.



Said perfect princess, by a rhododendron bush. Gives you some idea of her small but mighty stature.

everyone is freaking out about my spider. If you don't like the large ones, then you'd probably be afraid of Charlotte. She looks like this one, except she's a Mexican Red Knee. This one is a Bird Eater, but Charlotte is about the same size. She's really calm, though. Oh, and your doggie is a cutie.

I think that's so cool! Is that the only pet spider you've ever had?

I let the girls out to run around last night and Bronco wouldn't stop chewing on the chipping paint in the doorway. I would get her away from that but if I looked away for a second, she'd be licking the soap dispenser.

And, this morning, while I was cleaning the girl's bin, Billy Idol was climbing the side of his cage like I was flinging around strawberries.

ETA: I just missed the most perfect picture opportunity! Billy Idol was taking a nap and laying his head on his stuffed squirrel. Awe! When I went to snap it, he looked up at me like, "WTF! I was sleeping!".

This is the only one that I currently have, but I've had them since I was like 8 or 9 years old.

Ugh on the spider, but... my brother always had snakes - major, big snakes. The only way I could get out of holding any of them was by saying, "he'd make really great boots!" He used to feel funny about going to the pet store to buy mice, and the container (like Chinese takeout) would read, "I'm going to my new home!"

Then he had to start buying them bunnies. blech.


As for me, I'm currently petless, but went to a Bichon Bash last weekend with my guy. I was out of my mind with happiness! I just saw a picture from it, and I'm going to go retrieve it. BRB!
