The unfortunate pets we have loved!



This was our bunny named Chester. He was given to us, and the boys absolutely loved him. Unfortunately, he kept jumping over our fence into our neighbor's back yard, where he thoroughly enjoyed himself eating all of her plants. We were too cheap to buy a cage so we had to let him go in Grandma Willie's graveyard, (to save our relationship with our old, widow neighbor.)

This was our pet lizard, who the boys named potipher (yes, they got the name from the bible). We found him in the mountains and brought him home. He actually stayed alive for several months! The boys loved finding bugs and catching flys for potipher to eat. Unfortunately, Kyle thought it would be cool to put him in a sleeping bag stuff bag and beat him against his bed. Needless to say, the lizard didn't survive. So now we are petless again.
Where's...Potipher?


This is the memorial service we had for poor Potipher. As you can tell, the boys are grieving heavily for their loss!
