Froggie Went A' Courtin'

[pooks]

I had to give up my 2 beautiful tarantulas when I moved to a smaller place

Holy cow -- how big were they?

We have a dried lizard on the shelf right now. Anole, maybe is what it actually is. Anyway my husband found it in the garage, showed it off to everybody, then put it on a shelf of the bookcase where it has resided since.

This is such a weird and cool thread! I envy you those dried tarantula skins, Lisa! The nearest thing to that here is that we occasionally find a naturally-dried peeper (little frog) when cleaning behind heavy pieces of furniture.

When my eldest nephew was 8, I found some owl pellets (bits of fur and bone that owls regurgitate from their meals of small mammals) under a tree near my home. They were already pretty dry, so I packed them carefully and mailed them to him along with a little book about owls. He had a great time telling me about the bones and fur he found as he teased the pellets apart. Now he's 23 and doing his bachelor's degree in microbiology. I like to think it all started with Aunt Judy's owl pellets.

This reminds me of the time when I was out and a Squirrel decided to jump through my wheel. I heard a thunk, and the bike lurched, followed by what I took to squirrel cursing. I did Have Blood on the spokes when I got home (yes, they are bladed spokes.)

Now that sounds like a Hallowe'en movie... Blood on the Spokes... ooooweeeeeee!!!

(back when I was a wildlife major, I had to stuff and mount critters with their little skulls beside them.. don't ask me what the grossest sounds were... my sister managed to get me some already-deceased lab rats...)
