My friend the animal girl

How often do you hear a person say they have a cat, a dog, a snake, a fish, a mouse, a bird and a bearded dragon? Not big news for my friend. She has 2 cats, 3 dogs, 4 snakes, 2 bearded dragons, lots of mice, lots of birds and lots of fish!
We have had lots of fun at their house. Come with me on the journey of the animal girl.
One day my mum had come to pick me up with my little brother from my friend's house. My brother was very interested with the four snakes they have. My friend's mum took out a snake and put it on my brother to play with while she he waited for me. In that time my friend's mum was feeding the bearded dragon. The bearded dragon would not come when she held out a wriggling worm from a can. She said, "Come on, come on" (in a very, very, very Australian accent sounding like 'came on, came on'). My mum was there and she didn't feel really comfortable. She said she was shuddering inside with a can of worms open right next to her. Poor mum. My brother was having a jolly good time.

My friend once brought one of her fully-grown pythons to our girl guides for 'Pets Show and Tell'. Since I don't have a pet, I took a stuffed toy. My friend put the snake on her neck and it started choking her. My brother had the same snake on his neck and it was very calm and contended!

My friend's dad wanted to re-do the swimming pool so when he took the floor covering of the pool there was a blue tongued lizard staring at him.

My friend's snake gave birth to babies so now they are selling the baby snakes. If they kept the baby snakes they would have to build a new room for all of them.

I hope you guys have had fun on this journey of My friend the animal girl.
Tune in for next time!

Dear Sri:

That sure was a fun journey reading about your friend's pet animals! How do they manage to have so many pets? Hopefully, they are not each oher's food!!

The new born mice are the food of the snakes. The mothers and eldest girl mouse have to live to give birth. I don't know how they manage.

Omg... How do they have any space in their house? YUCK I really don't like animals, especially if they are close by. I don't mind seeing them in their natural wilderness but 500 metres away from me! You guys are even brave going into her house!
