We had Slimy for only 24 hours, but he found a place in our hearts!!
The night before Halloween Peyton found Slimy by our garage and wanted to keep him. We brought him in and got out our old aquarium and made him a home. The kids were so excited and we looked up online how to care for him. We found him worms to eat. He didn't eat.
That first night he escaped out and Brandt found him covered in dust walking across the floor.
We also found out that you shouldn't hold Salamanders because of their skin and the oils on our hands.
At scripture study we talked as a family and felt that Slimy wanted to be free and the kids want a pet they can hold and play with. So on Halloween night- which was really wet, but the perfect temperature, we let Slimy go. The kids were sad, but felt it was the right thing to do.
Now for Christmas the kids want Santa to bring them a pet they can hold and play with!!!
