New Pet

In the process of trying to get a new pet.

No, not the raven. We're not home enough for a raven.

A Madagascar Hissing Cockroach.

It's probably best not to ask.

That sounds like a pretty resilient pet, although I admit that I do not know what exactly you would want to do with it.

[amielleon]

And yeah, I'm asking.

Just... keep it. Like a tarantula. Except the cockroach can eat old cat food.

We encountered one at the science museum last night, and it was a nice critter. Crawled around on our hands, felt us up with its antennae, chewed a bit on my little fingernail.

Now, the trouble would be getting someone to roach-sit when we go on vacation...

Who needs a roach-sitter? That one seems like the kind of pet that wouldn't died unless you tried to kill it.

...That is actually kind of cute!

They are kind of cute. Can't help but think of WALL-E, heh.

The one we met last night was very cute. :)
