Shoot your Pet

Hot! In Danger

As our lovely Beagle died recently I have to post my son's pet. I know a lot of people will not like her and I have to admit I was a bit wary when he first brought her home. However I have to say she is beautiful, lovely markings, very friendly and loves to be handled and we are all very fond of her. She is not looking her best at the moment as she is starting to shed her skin. Contrary to what people might think she feels lovely when you hold her and she winds herself around you, so I say" never judge a book by it's cover"..

    Beautiful creature but I am not in favor of making snakes as pet ! They may be dangerous as they are basically wild animals.... :)

    Oh I'm so glad we don't have snakes in New Zealand! So glad your son has a special 'friend' as his pet. And he DOES has nice markings....very reptilian.

    Sorry for the loss of your dog. The snake though is one of the more unusual entries in the theme.

    I'm not a snake fan either, but I do wish I could get past that! I think in many cases reptiles get a bad rap!! Great photo!

    "You can't judge an apple by looking at a tree
    You can't judge honey by looking at the bee
    You can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother
    You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
    Oh can't you see, oh you misjudge me
    I look like a farmer, but I'm a lover
    You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
    Oh come on in closer baby,
    hear what else I gotta say!
    You got your radio turned down too low
    Turn it up!"
