I mentioned in another post getting distracted and not replying to coposts earlier this evening. Part of that was weather (thunderstorms), part was chores (grocery shopping, gathering trash for pick-up), and supper.
However, what took most of the evening was a photo shoot. While we all adore Slink (http://www.vexingvixen.net/graphics/slink15.jpg), Chenoa has been begging to have her own pet. Anyhow, she finally got her wish, so we proudly introduce Rose Red! (http://www.vexingvixen.net/graphics/rose13_5_10.JPG)

I did not see a collar. Or a tag so she (?) can be returned to you should she slip her leash

NO! NO! NO! That is NOT a good thing!
Runs to jump up on a chair - like that would really help with this particular creature!

You obviously were't around when Jane and I were swapping spider stories from across the Pacific...

This one is very small compared to those you were discussing. She's only about 3 to 3 1/2 inches in diameter.

Oh wow, yeah, she could fit in the palm of my hand! Strangely, that's almost cute.... Something must be wrong with me....

You should have warned as to what the pet WAS! Spiders freak me out and even more when they are large enough to be *gulp* _furry_!

I think it is a very nice pet and unique as well. The color is nice. Perhaps you should give Ainlsey the information of where she could buy such a pet. She really should have two or three! :evil4:

And I think we should take up a collection of marks to purchase Mina a nice python! Or even a boa constrictor...

No I was not, but even still, it is not the size that matters! Charlotte's Web is a very nice story but I still like to pretend she was something ELSE! I'm not exactly a spider person. I like most animals. I even like snakes. I just have issues with spiders. My brother did have a tarantula when I was young and I understand - in the rational part of my brain - that they are not really dangerous. I even know that spiders in general serve a very important purpose. I JUST DON"T LIKE THEM!

Eewww. I'm not a spider person either. I can accept lizard or snake and I had a rat once, but insectoids

Okay - that needed a warning on it. Really it did. My husband had to shut the web pages down for me.

I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to have quite that response. Her other choice was a snake, but perhaps that will come later.
A plus to having a new pet: Chen is usually not a mornng person and it's a real struggle to get her up and about. This morning she was up at 6:05, "saying good morning to Rose."

I like snakes too. Would have much rather seen a snake. *Shudders* spiders.
