I'm so jealous. My husband won't have any kind of pet but a boxer. I love my boxer, but I also love snakes and any other kind of critters...except cockroaches...avoid bees because of an allergy to them. Otherwise, I'm game. One day going out to recess a boy from another class stepped on a daddy long-legs. One of my boys looked around for me and said, "Oh man, he's in trouble now!" And he was! I was always the go-to gal when we got critters in our bldg.. I've rescued snakes, lizards, squirrels, and countless bugs and spiders. :)
