Meet Sam’s next Christmas present…
ByMeet Sam's new pets. In addition to all the wonderful things he'll get from his family this year, Sam will also get two frogs and a snail. Sam is such a lucky little boy to be getting a chance for a wonderful learning experience from his parents. Now if you sense a little sarcasm in my voice it's not because of what we're getting him, but where we have to keep Sam's present and who has to feed his two frogs and a snail until Christmas. Any guesses?
That would be correct, I have two frogs and a snail as temporary pets in my office at work. We got them over the weekend when we went shopping while Sam and Evan were at Jennifer's. The kicker to all this excitement is that in the span of 5 hours of anyone else in my office even knowing of their existence, I've had a 3 different tour groups come visit the amphibian exhibit. On the plus side, I have had a chance to chit chat with more co-workers than usual on a Monday morning.
Just in case you're wondering, you too get this exciting gift at any Brookstone store near you.

Are they still alive??
Yes they are. I’ve got a calendar reminder to feed them every Mon and Thu.
