Hi All!

[Kurt]

I only wish pear trees grew down here.

Why? So you can finally get that partridge you've always wanted? All because its in the song, doesn't mean you have to have a pear tree for it.

Jim: Thanks, and it most certainly DOES keep things interesting! Almost never a dull moment around here! I completely forgot that I also had a pair of parakeets, and I will be taking my friend's lovebird and cockatiel soon. I love birds. I think once I graduate I'll get an African Grey Parrot.
I love Boston Terriers. I have two Golden Retrievers named Sophie and Newt, which has made quite the splash on the caudate website.
Kurt: Thanks to you, as well. As for the pear tree, the song can easily be manipulated so that you don't even need a partridge. Observe:
"And an Axolotl in a pear tree!"
Except, I have two Axolotls, and I wouldn't want to cause a fight over who gets to be in the pear tree.

Are they French? Two French Axolotis, and and hedgehog in a pear treeeeeeee!

No, but they do speak French. And I doubt that the hedgehog would be the one in the tree. I bet the tree frog would claim that position.

Welcome to the Forum. Always great to have another member with such a diverse household!

[MarshallsMom]

Thanks! What do you have?

True, but being a lover of puns and really bad jokes, it would just give me great satisfaction to have the pear tree. I mostly amuse myself. My co-workers have learned that if they don't at least acknowledge my bad jokes/puns with a groan, I keep repeating it until someone smacks me upside the head.

What do you call a pig with no legs?

A ground hog.

[MarshallsMom]

Hehehehe. I love puns.

What do you call a cross between a rhino and an elephant?
'Ell-if-I-know!

[Jace]

I'll have to remember those-my daughter will get a kick out of them!

Hannah, I have the following: 2 dogs, 3 cats, 2 Leopard Geckos, 9 Fire Belly toads, 15 Madagascar Hissing Roaches (and counting-several of my females are expecting!), 1 American Bullfrog froglet and 2 American Bullfrog tadpoles, 1 A. avicularia (Pinktoe Tarantula), 1 Pacific Chorus Frog, 3 African Giant Bullfrogs and 3 male Bettas. Did I get everything? I think so. I don't count dust bunnies, but I have a few of those too that are big enough to name!! Lol.

[MarshallsMom]

I love Leopard Geckos. I had one when I was in Kindergarten. His name was Sprinkles. I'm thinking about getting another one my senior year because I miss having lizards.

The roaches and tarantula sound cool! I personally love bugs, although I don't like little ones. The larger they are, the less gross they are. I go back and forth on whether I want a tarantula or not. I know I can't have one now, because my mom has placed a ban on anything with less than two legs or more than four.

I remember having tadpoles; how exciting! I just called my pet guy, and it looks like we will be getting another White's Tree Frog tomorrow!

[Jace]

Congrats on the soon to be new addition! You'll have to post some pics when he/she arrives.

I love the Hissers; regular roaches creep me out. I want to get a Praying Mantis someday, too, though they don't live for too long.

I love my geckos, but I have to put them on a diet. My male, Mika, is making me feel super guilty about it, too.


Kamani, my tarantula, is very cool. She is currently munching on a cricket as I type. It's gross, but fascinating. I am just really glad I'm not the cricket right now!!

[MarshallsMom]

I will! My mom and I are hoping for a big, fat, turquoise female, but we'll probably fall in love with one of them and take it home even if it is a skinny, jade male. (Mr Hopper! )
I forgot to list my praying Mantis, Wally, that I raised from his cocoon. He was cool. He'd zip around my hand.
Do your cockroaches actually hiss?
Haha, I had to put my Golden Albino Axolotl on a diet,too, and now he just pouts at the front of the tank. It's really cute.
Do you hold your tarantula? My best friend holds hers ("Charlotte") one her shoulder while she does homework.
