ah! both excellent replies! i was so nervous when i started this thread, but now, i think i know we are going to have some fun w/ it.

yeah, i think if i could, i'd give King some sort of immortality potion, that would make him perfectly healty and he would live until it was time for me to die. the folding luundry would be nice. i'd just be happy if he ate all the spiders.

yeah, there's a few animals i don't think i'd like, including a few breeds of dogs. snakes i can handle. i wish you luck w/ your phobia! no scorpians for this girl....no way! or centipedes!!!!!
