Hi! My boy have become mighty hunters, with no cricket (or june bug) in the house being safe from their "killer instincts". I think they must have had this idea whispered in their ears one night by ferret angel Millie who was the bestest cricket-killer (and fly-catcher) of them all. While I don't see how ANY bug could be a good snack, Clint and Arnold seemed convinced otherwise - maybe they just like the thrill of the chase or something. Anyway, does anyone know whether this addiction might be detrimental to the boys? We have an excess of crickets (and nasty spiders, too - yuck! - fortunately the boys think these are yucky also) this year her in TX due to the mild winter - it's impossible to keep the house bug-free! Gotta go - Arnold just managed to get the big Happy Face balloon off of the kitchen table - unfortunately it was attached to a nice Ivy plant (with lots of dirt) that we received yesterday celebrating the end of the chemotherapy and radiation treatments for Kevin's Hodgkin's disease - now we're on the road to a full recovery! Hurray! Hope the plant is, also. Remind me to buy dirt brown carpet next time. Later from Paris, TX, Kevin and Laura Arnold (I just wanted to look at it!) Clint (See if you can reach the Cookie Crisp box next time!) ferret angel Millie (you boys have a lot to learn!) [Posted in FML issue 2379]
