I have quite the assortment of 'children': my elderly Arabian (horse), my two plus sized kitties, and my superchill skink (lizard); /u/LucidDreamer18 did a WONDERFUL job of finding the perfect gifts for all of them!

Freckles, my horse, got a lovely peppermint scented (...and flavored--what!? I'm a curious person--can't we just pretend I licked it FOR SCIENCE?) jolly ball. Peppermints are by far his favorite treat, so I think he will really enjoy having this. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get out to the stables (It's 20 miles away, and I'm currently sans wheels) to see him since receiving his gift. I will report back and post pictures as soon as I'm able to get a ride out there. Update Freckles loved his jolly ball very much!! Check out the video.

Sayyid (my Schneider's skink) got a can of snails (no I did NOT lick them for science), which are a real lizard treat, according to /u/LucidDreamer18's sources. I was kind of skeptical, because I have only ever fed him live food (vitamin dusted crickets), but he dove right in, grabbed it and started shaking it around. He seemed to be having a little trouble, and I realized that they must be kinda tough (ok, ok, so it's my fault for not trying one first for science), so I chopped it up into three pieces, and he chowed down without a problem.

Of course my most curious cat, Tibalt, wanted in on the action, since I always toss him a cricket or two when I feed Sayyid so he can show me what a masterful hunter he is. (No really, he'll follow me around and cry until I come watch him pounce on skillfully slay the cricket and eat it feast upon the spoils of his victory). I tried to tell him that he probably didn't want one, but he insisted. Turns out I was right, but he was still quite vocal about the fact that I had displeased him with this offering. Upon seeing that Tibalt was getting something, my other cat, Mowzers, walked waddled over to make sure she got one, too. I set one down for her as well, but she was also unimpressed. Honestly, I'm almost certain this will be specifically mentioned in their manifesto when they finally snap and go all Ted Kaczynski on me.
