    Re: People are people, I guess.

    Lol

    The thing is, people need to learn to not talk like that. Its just sad, and ignorant. And when its directed at my animals, I don't take it lightly. I'm talking when people say things like Anatess stated. And the person knows I'm being sarcastic when I say all this lol. I'm not that mean Its just to point out that what they said was kind of out of line, and that it bothered me. Usually after this they get the hint, and either don't talk about them, or just find another way of talking about it.

    Sigh... these guys aren't taking the hint. My husband replied "I love pet snakes, they're easier to take care of than my dog. And they're cool!" and got a jillion negative replies back, one of them saying they saw a snake in their yard so they run it down with their mower. They're not just teasing either. They're serious. I know these guys.

    By the way, our dog is a bichon frise. LOL!

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    I would have your husband do a Facebook update to the effect of:

    To all our Facebook friends. Please realize that we love our snakes as much as you love your pets. If you don't care for snakes, that's fine, but when you make judgemental responses, we consider that rude and disrespectful to our family and our choices. Please remember, if you don't have anything nice to say PLEASE don't say anything at all.
