I had all of gilligans island names for my group*L*

LOL thank you so much Melinda!! I thought they were cute at first, but seem a little creepy when you actually look at them (look like big spiders, and I don't like spiders
) besides one grabed my sweater and wouldn't let go, so now I'm afraid to put them in my hand (don't want to get pinched)
I'll have to get the treats you mentioned, I'm sure they;ll love it
