Leaping Lizards Bat Man



Went to Amy's today and to a pet shop to see how Caleb and Katie would handle a small puppy. Caleb had to kiss every one of them. So cute. Course I washed his mouth off when we got back to the car.

There also was a lizard there. Not the little kind but the kind that grows to four feet! This particular one was the size of a football, not counting his neck/head and tail! Caleb was facinated with it and would stoop on the floor with his chin in his hands and watch it. Now a few months ago Caleb had several nightmares in one night and after the fourth one we got out of him that snakes were getting him, so sad it was. Well smart me decided to pick him up and let him look over into the cage the lizard was in right at the exact moment the lizard decided to stand on its hind legs and try to come through the screen on top of the cage, and at the same time stick its snake like tongue out! Needless to say Caleb went bonkers. I hope he does not have nightmares about this. Mimi can be so stupid sometimes. Thank goodness when we left I asked him what was his favorite thing in the pet store and he said the 'wizard'. I sure hope it was not because it scared him the most! There was also a snake there but it was in something like a hollowed out log and you could barely see him (it was a brightly lit cage and he was a bright readdish color) no scary at all.

They have decided to get a six week old chocalate cocker spaniel. All three kids are spending the night with me Saturday night, so I guess I'll have a puppy here also. Can't wait.
Which one would you choose?
