I was so grossed out, I ran them through the garbage disposal.

Tell her as long as she loves them that's enough. Saying ,I remember taking care of teeny tiny wild baby mice because they fell off a garage roof and she found them. Of course they didn't make it and of course my daughter was at school and couldn't do it herself but I pretty much love all wildlife - JUST NOT BUGS ESPECIALLY SPIDERS. My collge bound daughter is living with these humongous spiders and thinks they're great - ARGHHHH. Told her I would never visit her and mean it. They are as big as the palm of your hand!!! So gerbils don't sound too bad to me lol.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-43685202567333074432010-01-26T10:29:39.767-06:002010-01-26T10:29:39.767-06:00For husband it has always been fish!

I have to push mow around this stupid pond in the summer and keep the weeds pulled because he want. With my son it was always guinia pigs until he got alergic to them and then it was a turtle!Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06924888528166831610noreply@blogger.com
