Pet(s) A border collie mix named Ollie, a huge goldfish named Ahman Green, a very large African clawed frog named Claudette, a large algae-eater named Professor Clean. I used to have a pet boa constrictor named Slip, but my principal wouldn't let me have it at school anymore and my husband doesn't like snakes, so I had to give it away this past fall.
