Maeve and Lilly

Lilly has been bugging me for a pet of her own for a long time. At some point I told her that anything she caught down by the pond she could keep as a pet. I figured that would keep her busy all summer chasing after frogs, turtles, fish, whatever… I congratulated myself on my awesome parenting technique and cleverness. Lilly and her friend Lexi decided they were going to get that pet and I was astounded when, within 15 minutes, Lexi had netted a frog. Well I had given my word.

Feeding Jeremy (as in Fisher) soon became an issue. One would think that our yard would yield an abundance of insects, but it’s been difficult to find things other than Asian lady bugs, fire ants, and spider (all of which apparently are hard on Jeremy’s tummy). Then there is the disgusting water that need to be changed on a weekly basis. I’m rethinking my cleverness.
