Our "other" kids

Our family loves animals, and we are the proud owners of 3 cats, 1 dog and 1 snake.





The snake is a Ball Python (called that because of the way they will curl up when threatened). I never thought I would like a snake, but I have to say, this snake has captured our hearts. She is 18 months old now, and is approximately 2 and half feet long. She will grow no longer than 4 feet, which is perfect.

Joshua our dog is a stray we took in once we moved (actually so are the Calico and the grey cat). San Antonio has a real pet population problem. Too many people here think it's cruel to spay or neuter their pet, or they just don't care. I found Josh running desperately from person to person in the cold outside Carson's school one morning. He had so many fleas that it took an hour and a half in the shower with a comb and flea shampoo to clean him off.

Anyone else out there with a soft spot?

I'm so glad to finally see pictures of your pets. Josh is really cute. That snake is beatiful- it would make a pretty belt...JUST KIDDING. I really think that snake is pretty though.
