i can't decide...........

although i thought i would be happy to not have to worry about taking care of spike, i am actually sad he is gone. not sad cause i liked the ugly little thing, but sad cause it broke andrew's heart. the first day he surprised me when we found him missing. he was upset but he didn't cry. but the next day after school, i found him outside next to spike's cage crying his eyes out. it was so sad. he just kept saying, "i just miss spike". he really did love that ugly little thing:) now both kids are after me for a turtle. ahhhh.....what is a girl to do?

Get a rabbit - it can stay outside and its cuter and softer than spike!

poor kid... that was the hardest thing about having pets, they die or run away and the kids are alwasy heart broken. That is a good reason for me not to get Kialey one... she would be so heart broken if anything happened to it. So far, she does not cry when a fish dies but is sad. If we had a dog however and it died, holy cow. I am sure she would cry for months! Good luck!

ah common... get a turtle :) They've got some really cool ones that you just leave outside in the backyard and they're content with whatever...dogs..cats..tarantulas:) I can't remember what kind that is though. sorry.

tough decision! It would break my heart too to see my kid so sad. I say go for it because it's at your house and not mine :)

We could probably hook you up with a baby goat if you want. Just let us know and we will bring it when we come!
