After a brief, but intense discussion with kat regarding Bridgie's proclivities (you should have seen the remains of the spider in the bathtub the other day! she pulled all the legs off!) I think the only conclusion, other than those of the "I need a young priest, and an old priest" variety, is to just send Bridgie to Heather for "retraining".
PS: Genie: Sully knows better! He brings me the dead ones and says "Hey, I've seen you fix these things before...Give a guy a hand, eh?"
