In the spirit of all the wildlife-themed threads we''ve had around here lately, I thought I''d introduce you all to George! He''s a tiny snail who lives in the orchid pot next to our kitchen sink. Seriously, I didn''t know snails could be this small!
DH bought me that orchid for my birthday about two years ago, and it hasn''t flowered since we first got it, but George has been with us ever since! I noticed him very shortly after DH brought the orchid home, and I thought, "OMG, he''s adorable!" I hadn''t seen him in quite a while, but he''s been coming out to say "hi" a good bit this week. He usually burrows into the moss in the flower pot, and we sometimes don''t see him for weeks at a time. He often drops out through the hole at the bottom of the flower pot, and I find him sitting on the kitchen counter when I go to put the flower pot in the sink to water the orchid, and then I have to carefully put him back in the pot! You just never know when he''ll turn up!
Here he is sitting on the edge of the flower pot he calls home:
