But if we all skedaddled, then who would be left?? 😰
The only animals I don't care for are reptiles, amphibians and fish. If it has feathers or fur, especially fur, I love it. I've had cats and dogs. Each have their own special personalities. The thing is, I've never considered them to be "pets"...they have always been my children and I am their mommy. I have always prayed that, at the end of my life, I can pass through Heaven's Gate, cross the Rainbow Bridge and help St. Francis to take care of the animals...THAT would truly be Heaven to me!😇💖🐱🐶🐎🐑🐇🕊🐄🦌💗Pammy Jo

Allyson, I am sorry, but I do not like anything slimy and slithery...I have my reasons. As a child, I was peed on by a turtle 🐢 as I held him (he peed on my face!), a copperhead snake 🐍slithered between my feet, a toad 🐸 spit on me, and I fell head first into a pond 🐟while my dad was fishing. About 8 years ago, I was bitten by a Brown Recluse spider 🕸 and had trouble with that for several years...I did forget to put spiders on my list! YUCK! I'm sure all of those thing have their place and it's so nice that they have a friend in you😁 but I am a friend to none of them! LOL!!!😝Pammy Jo
Ruth, we've been hearing a lot about a hurricane down where you live. Are you okay? Is it affecting you??

I've been bit by a recluse spider before, too, and they are NO FUN!!

As of right now, it looks like Houston will be
spared from the major impacts, it will hit
landfall about midnight and is said to move
quickly. We'll see, not taking anything for
granted.

So far though I haven't so they're all my little buddies!🤗 I tried to make friends with a horse fly today but it didn't want to be my friend.😣
Keep us updated, Ruth, so we will know if you're still okay!!🤗😄💙💙

Dorry, how's Zambaque doing? Has he eaten you yet?
Emma wrote: "Dorry, how's Zambaque doing? Has he eaten you yet?"Nope, not yet. (I'm here, am I not? 😂) He's really getting quite tame! But how about your lion? He's not a pussy cat, you know!

Yes, that is true! What a relief! 😌
Oh, Isaac's doing quite well! I think I'm going to have to get him a friend soon, though, if you get what I mean.

Yes, but that would also be a problem...

True! They're only cute while they're little.

Thank you.
Emma wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "Do you know what Namby-Pamby did today?"Oh no! What did he do now??"
He went around and ate up all the tarantulas!!!

😱 Oh no!! All that calcium for Brandalphe!! What are you going to do now???
Yes...but who is Brandalphe? I declare I don't know what to do. If I get more, he's just going to eat them, too!
Dorothy wrote: "Yes...but who is Brandalphe? I declare I don't know what to do. If I get more, he's just going to eat them, too!"Why, Dorry, how could you forget about Brandalphe?? She's your sweet, big fat cow!! Give Namby-Pamby some lemonade. That should be the calcium she's needing.
Oh! You threw me off by mentioning her name with Namby-Pamby! But with so many animals, it is easy to lose track! I'll try that. Is it best to use fresh lemons or would furniture polish do?
Dorothy wrote: "Oh! You threw me off by mentioning her name with Namby-Pamby! But with so many animals, it is easy to lose track! I'll try that. Is it best to use fresh lemons or would furniture polish do?"Yes, you're now up to, what, 100 animals? ALWAYS use fresh! Fake could kill them!! And get her a duck.

Dorothy wrote: "Emma wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "Oh! You threw me off by mentioning her name with Namby-Pamby! But with so many animals, it is easy to lose track! I'll try that.

Emma wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "Emma wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "Oh! You threw me off by mentioning her name with Namby-Pamby! But with so many animals, it is easy to lose track! I'll try that. Is it best to use fresh..."The sheep dog will keep her from eating the duck?
Dorothy wrote: "Emma wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "Emma wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "Oh! You threw me off by mentioning her name with Namby-Pamby! But with so many animals, it is easy to lose track!

Honey, Emma. Honey always cures my chimps of the croup.

So far they haven't killed Namby-Pamby, but I wonder how much it will take?

Not much, I'm afraid...I'll recommend a book to you on...remind me what animal she is?? And that should help.

Thanks! She's a polar bear.
Allyson, I do like frogs, toads, turtles, and snakes (as long as they aren't poisonous!) 😄
