You know you're loved when...

You walk into the living room and....

...The turtles freak the F out and splash their salmonella laden water all over the living room, then try to bite your fingers off when you feed them....

...The tree frog surrepticiously climbs from  his perch on top of his log to his hiding place inside as if to say, "you didn't see me up here enjoying all those crickets you got me, they're all gone, get me more"...

...and the Beta fish suddenly floats belly up so you'll freak out that he's dead and play with him and feed him.  He turns back into a happy, food-eating fish after I poke at him with a spoon a couple times, see him wiggle his fins to stay belly up, and drop some food in.

...It's no wonder that the most common cause of death among reptilian and amphibious household pets is obesiety-induced heart attack.  All of my pets have such strong personalities and really have me trained.  This is why I probably should not be allowed to have mammals as pets.  Maybe a bird would be nice, though.....
