Bailey's Lastest Pet

A few weeks ago, Bailey woke up bright and early and went out to check her little garden. She came running in to wake me up to show me the caterpillar she found eating the leaves on her pepper plant. She was so thrilled to have found such a big bug, and could not wait to put it in her bug catcher. This bug was well cared for, she would go and get it fresh leaves to eat, take it out for some fresh air, and it even went on a few walks. She would let it crawl all over her arms. This went on for about a week and then we put it outside so it could make a caccoon and become a moth. She was not a happy camper when she had to let it go! She also caught several lizards this summer that she kept as pets for as long as they survived. She wants a pet so badly she has resorted to bugs and lizards.
