Animals....

I do not consider myself a huge animal lover.

My friend Jane(hi Jane!) and her son once found a dying squirrel, nursed it back to health and took it to a wildlife reserve thing. Now I'm not sure I would ever go that far. I like animals though, I only kill the ants in my house, I try not to run over things in the road, I tolerate my dog and I do like my cat.

So, I'm not sure where my kids have learned to kill every undomesticated animal w/in their reach(I'm exaggerating so don't freak out). If there is anything in the house, it doesn't have a chance- flies, ants, spiders, doesn't matter. They even make a game of stomping on any insect they can reach outside. Tonight I swerved to miss a turtle crossing the road and Hunter asked why I didn't just run over it. I was a little taken aback. I mean, as much as I really don't care for animals, running over a poor turtle seems mean.

Guess we are going to be taking some trips to the zoo!!!

Don't anyone have a heart attack, Hunter said that daddy kills deer and that is why he assumed it was ok to kill animals. We are gonna have the "whats hunting and whats not" talk soon. We fish too, so hes not mean spirited, just a little confused. And we all know that a turtle crossing the road is worth 5 points.

  1. How soon can you start them in therapy? I'm sure it's a phase, but keep an eye on Max for me. I'm also a little bit concerned, you have a quote from Bill Clinton. Do you feel okay?
