LOL! Oh what a pair! Yes, we’ve had a variety of little “pets” – mostly types of bugs. A few caterpillars that we were lucky to see turn into butterflies, etc.
This is the first salamander we’ve every found, and she was so excited!

Yeah, I’d have to say dogs are pretty great. But our daughter really, REALLY, just wants something little she can hold, and the salamander just showed up one day…

Yep, Mommy didn’t want to touch it initially, until Peanut almost dropped it and I had to grab it so it wouldn’t get hurt. (I actually used a hamburger spatula to pick it up with – )

Thanks! Our daughter is great at those wonderful expressions! Couldn’t believe we had a salamander on our back porch that day…

Oh, yeah. I make sure it is secure in its cage each time she looks at it… LOL! (It isn’t a good climber, either…)
