one morning when I was getting breakfast for Owen. Owen immediately fell in love. I immediately started cleaning the counters and floors because I was so grossed out and needed to feel like there weren't any slimy creatures in the house.
Ick.
It may look like a slug, but Speedy is actually a snail. See the shell? Anyway, s/he obviously got lost because s/he stayed on our window for a full 36-48 hours. Where she went after that is beyond me. S/he was pretty popular during his/her time on our window frame. Our neighbors all came over to say hello and meet our new friend.
Owen was very sad when she left. He couldn't find her during breakfast two mornings after the original sighting.
Thankfully, the sadness quickly wore off and it looks like we won't be rushing out to get a pet snail anytime soon. Miss you, Speedy! (Well, some of us do. Maybe just one of us, actually.)
