And we now return from that quick commercial break...
The new pet was promptly given more space upon the arrival at home. A cleaned out butter container with a little bit of water would have to do until morning. Unlike most days the morning would come early but before dawn hits the new found friend needed to experience its new surroundings. The amphibian was swiftly taken to a local home to enjoy one of many new events. As the lid open the animal watched a game of football with its new proud owner, a few of Molson's finest and a few local fans.
The night of football with creature was abruptly cut short; those calming clouds of brown turner ferocious and put an end to the CBC broadcast of an exciting game for the team in Green. Although the game was not done the televised service was and so was the Salamanders first night in captivity.
At the crack of daylight, when the sky is bright but not orange, the new found friend had started their day. Company was arriving and it was arriving soon. The company was that of another young girl, a girl with fewer years and quite possibly the same age as the new house pet. The match was sure to be pleasing. It was this day that this new girl would find a new home and a name for our amphibian friend.
With a quick trip to some local pet stores and other stores that just happened to be open the new home was set up. In a plastic reptile tank lay some rocks picked from a parking lot and some colourful pebbles found in most aquariums. The large rock base separated in two with a water route between them. In the water lies oval marbles and a large resting rock. Over top of the resting rock connecting both sides of the land base is a store bought bridge and in one corner some fresh green shrubs.
In the construction of the luxurious reptile home came the name. With battles of turning Salamader into Sal or Sally came Liz. Although the sex of the new pet is unknown and will likely never be known, it has now been feminized by one little girl and named in a shortened form of Lizard.
In the same trip to the pet store food was also purchased. Liz eats one cricket every two days and has found comfort in her new home. With an already full day Liz was left alone to relax and her story continues. To see more of Liz please go to http://www.caudata.org/cc/species/Ambystoma/A_tigrinum.shtml or go to Amber’s house.

Do you feel good about yourself? Kidnapping a defenseless little creature from the life it knows and the family it loved. I bet there are heart warming signs all around Southey in search for their missing friend. Don't be surprised if your place is over run by the little devils when they find out where the he/she is.
I saw Liz's picture on the back of a milk carton. You bastard.
