Our new pets

Embree & Reeves got new pets this weekend.

Reeves got three new fantail goldfish - Rainbow, Colors, & Cheeto...who join Goldie whom we've had since we were living in Wise (six years!).

Embree got a Firebelly Toad, named Flame. He is really quite fascinating...beautiful. Little did she know that having a toad also meant having a cage that houses, feeds & waters live crickets! Feeding time is exciting! She has to get two crickets into a ziplock back, pour in a little calcium dust, shake 'em up so they are covered and pour them into the vivarium for the frog. They look like they are covered in powdered sugar! The frog seems to think they are the tastiest things around!

She really wanted a lizard of some sort, but wanted to be able to hold it. The pet store owner recommended we begin with a toad and work up to lizard...they are so fast! I'm sure we have a lizard in our future someday!
