Our Pets

Last year, our pet was a beautiful garden spider that had a huge web on the side of our house. We would go out every day and say 'hi' to it until it got to cool and it died. It feed and cleaned up after itself.

This year we had a pair of killdeer birds that made a nest in some gravel in our backyard. They laid four speckled eggs. Every time we got close to the nest, the parent would jump off the eggs and pretend to have a broken wing so that we would follow it and leave the eggs alone. It took about a month for the eggs to hack. Only two of the eggs hatched. The baby's can run around shortly after hacking. The parents quickly moved their two baby's to a close by cow pasture were there are more bugs and fewer people. Breanna had fun watching the baby birds. We hope they will nest with us next year too.

Our other pets are the virtual fishs on James' and Michelle's blog page.
