“She will not want this snake.”
My mom didn’t like my rattler “Harvey’ either. I got my dog the next day, especially after I told her I’d have to catch field mice to feed the snake and bugs to feed the tarantula I could get from a buddy for just five bucks. (and how I could keep it in my bedroom in a fruit jar.)
I really ;oved that dog, and I called him ‘Lucky’!
