Pets

Today was your average Saturday...you know, the kind where we have to leave the house for a couple hours so someone can look at it and then NOT BUY IT. Love it. So, today we made a visit to the local pet stores. The first one was at the mall. The kids loved it because they had tons of puppies. We had them take out Rick's favorite, a bulldog, for the kids to play with and she was adorable. Then we went to another pet store where they have everything you could think of. The store lets you hold anything except for fish. So, the kids held a turtle, guinea pigs, a tarantula, a scorpion, a bearded dragon, a snake, a frog, and a lizard. They loved it! We decided if we get a pet we're going to get a bearded dragon or a turtle because they are so mellow. They're expensive...like $100 for a baby bearded dragon and $150 for a turtle! We won't do it soon, but I would actually rather have either of those over a hamster or something smelly like a guinea pig...anyone else have pets?
