For the few months prior to our departure, Anna was in hot pursuit to get a dog for a pet. This desire was fueled by her cousins recent addition of a puppy to their family. The standard response at our house was, "after Africa, we will consider it." It would seem prudent to own a home and have a steady income prior to having a dog.
For any of you that follow the McCropder's blog, the following will sound familiar...It only took Anna 2 weeks to find her first pet here. Can you guess what it is? Hint: it is sitting on the banana in the fruit basket below.
We have also provided a more magnified view for those of you not familiar with possible African pets.
Yes, a chameleon. His name is Franklin and he is fitting in quite well. He is gentle and from what we can tell, his sole purpose in life is to eat bugs. He resides either on the fruit basket or between the window and screen. We are unsure what the next pet will be, but we promise to keep you all posted. 
He's very cute! Glad you guys are settling in. And, you have to admit, a chameleon is probably an easier pet to keep than many other African animals.
