    These may be God's creatures, and I am sure they have their purposes (watched a show about poisonous creatures - fascinating), but I would prefer to avoid a close personal relationship with any of them.

    Poisonous snakes
    Octopus
    Wood ticks
    Skunks
    Rats
    Bed Bugs
    Bats
    Tarantulas
    Deer flies
    Mosquitoes

    Some of these creatures are fascinating - but preferably from a distance!

    I am sure there are more - - -

    Top of the list for me is SPIDERS! No matter what size, shape, or form, they are all repulsive!

    Ooohhh, Ooohhh, I got to hold an octopus while scuba diving in Hawaii...You'd be REALLY surprised how soft they are...

    And Tink's Mom (love your puppy, is that Tink?) I saw a segment of the flooding down there in TN, and I could have sworn there was a HUGE snake swimming down the middle of the river...I don't like swimming snakes :(

    I had a pet skunk when I was little. Someone had taken a baby skunk to a vet and had it de-skunked (it couldn't spray) and therefore couldn't defend itself. Was the BEST pet ever.
