I *LOVE* my gliders!!! They are possibly one of the greatest, nay, BEST pets I have ever owned or had the pleasure to own! Let's take a look at this little scenario, shall we?

In the year 2000, suddenly the message boards and chat rooms light up with the word FANCY MOUSE ( which, by the way, I also own!!) And all of a sudden mice, supposedly these horrid little feinds that carry disease and bite newborn babies become the world's greatest and most wanted pet . And all of a sudden, people like you come along and , where once you were urging us to buy the bloody things, save them from certain death, are now urging us NOT to get them!!!! We here LOVE our pets! Yes- that strange fickle word that you idiots so seldom take into your aspects- LOVE!! I LOVE my dogs . I LOVE my cat. I LOVE my gliders! I LOVE my mouse!! People want LOVE, Sir . That's why we get pets! They are our uncritical companions. The reason I got gliders was the fact that I put a lot of research into them- that's time and effort ( GASP !!) and a lot of thought . They are my constant companions, my entertainment, my challenges , whatever you may call them, but they are still my pets - a part of my family. So please, do the world a favor and SHUT YOUR BLOODY MOUTH!!
