The Ask EntieWrite Anything podcast

Well, you join us again for another edition of the show as we ask your questions this week about new creation and some questions about animals and heaven.

And the phrase heaven, I'm sure, will come into question as well.

And given that we are going to be talking about pets and animals, I was wondering, have you ever had pets or anything, Tom, in your household?

Actually, not much. We, when my kids were younger, they went through a rabbit phase.

Okay. And as I've heard people say in other contexts, they were nice when they came and they were

nice when they went. It was nice when they went. And there was some good stuff about that.

But because of allergies in the family, et cetera, we've never had either cats or dogs.

And that's just the way it is.

I'm sometimes jealous of people who do because it looks fun and interesting in another dimension.

And likewise, we've never been in the position where we could have, you know, ponies for the kids or whatever.

We've just never done that.

I have to say, we're of a similar whatever. We've just never done that. I have to say we're of a similar sort. The pets that we have at home are the least,

take the least amount of work you can imagine. They're two leopard geckos. And they're native to

Pakistan, but they live in a little vivarium in our, and you can go away for a week and not worry about

them because they store all this fat in their tail and as long as they've got water they're fine

and you just feed them once or twice a week with live grasshoppers that's what we put in it and it's

great fun watching them stalk their prey when they do it but they're very low maintenance and that works

well for us.
