srnity: I don't teach kindergarten anymore and am not sure if these days they'd even let me have an animal in school. I let the kiddies take the rats out during play time.

Alas I haven't taught kindergarten for about 10 years. ;) (although I do have them come to me twice a week for art.

Tigger: My three favorite states thus far - Pennsylvania (obviously), Oregon, and North Carolina - in that order.....but I've yet to see Alaska, I have a feeling that'd be high on my list too :)
