Here is a picture of our new pet eating his dinner of baby mouse. It is so cool. I had no idea that you could buy the baby mice frozen. Such convenience.
Ok, I vowed that we would not be getting any more pets. I think that two dogs and two guinea pigs are plenty of work for the average family. I guess that I am now eating my words. We now have a new pet king snake. It is my favorite type of pet though in that we caught it in forest, and we will set him free right back where we caught him when we are done having him as a pet.
Here he is right after he was caught.
Here he is with my dad holding him.
And here he is in his temporary cage until we get the larger aquarium cleaned out for him.
We are an animal loving family. At one time we had two dogs,two guinea pigs, five frogs, and five fish. We have also had a pet rat, which is a very sweet pet. My daughter would love to have a snake, but I think that we have enough to take care of right now, although I do love snakes. My favorite pets are the ones that we find and keep for a few weeks and then let go, that way it is not a huge time commitment in raising them. The animals that we have done that with are lady bugs, caterpillar into butterfly, tadpoles into frogs, and a mouse. The mouse only lasted a couple of days before we set it free in a field because it was not a good pet. Wild mice are really wild.
