Cookie

Meet Cookie



Cookie the Salamander is QB's class pet and we got to keep him at our house last weekend. We (QB and I) had to go to the pet store and buy live crickets to feed Cookie. Which we did....every day. They have to be live when you give them to Cookie and if he/she (we're not sure) doesn't eat it you have to get rid of it and give him a new live cricket.

Just so you know Cookie didn't eat the entire time he was with us.

We also had to change the water in Cookies house. When he/she came to us he/she had a dead fly and a dead lady bug floating around in the water. Incidentally, Kicker was more afraid of the dead fly than of the living salamander. At any rate, HC was nominated to help clean the tank since it involved removing Cookie and putting him/her into a jar then putting him/her back when the task was completed.


Yes.....that is HC scooping Cookie up OFF MY TABLE. That protective table cloth thing was old anyway....yes it went in the trash. Cookie nearly escaped during the transfer but he made it to the jar and back but not without some squirming.

Cookie made it back to school Monday morning and all was well. But I have to say that it is a lot of stress trying NOT to be the family that killed the class pet.
