Because we need another pet!

When you live with an animal lover you tend to have pets. I realize this and was almost okay with:

2 lizards named Sneaky Pickles and Sid - who will only eat live crickets and

have to be in separate cages because they are both male. Found that out the hard way.)



8 fish inside and more in the pond outside. I bet the Kartchner's could cut that number in half.



and finally our cat named Oreo. I know very original. It is better than our last cats name. Melissa was 3 and we let her name him "Kalinkapalinkbolingo". When the vet asked how to spell it John replied any way you want. They put Ponzio down.)


So imagine my joy when I came home Saturday night to find that Nicholas and Gavin had found this out by the pool and John had fixed him a nice little cage. I think he's staying becuase they were calling him Snappy. I was hoping it was a dream but he was still there this morning.
Everyone still wants a dog. I told them to pick - a dog or me. I expect to find my bags packed any day now.

I think you should get a dog for sure and maybe a monkey you always wanted one in college. I think you dated one once remember Alex.

Why Clayfrog?

A long time ago (our future animal rights activist who was 3 at the time) found a family of frogs in the clay and decided that was a good name for us because we would save all the frogs.
