Thread: If you could have any animal...

None. I haven't been into exotic pets since I was a kid. I'm happy with my fat Aussie, Brunhilda. She's smart and friendly. Best pet I've ever had.

Yeah I really don't think pets come any better than dogs. And this coming from a guy that has two cats.......leave it to the wife and kids and look what happens. Although I must admit for cats these two are fairly amusing.

Any animal?

I guess I'd choose something really exotic.....thinking.......thinking.......

Well, I also vote "Dog". You know, "Man's best friend" isn't just an honorary title or slogan - it's true. They earned that title!

I meant besides a dog or cat. I have a dog and a dog really is a man's best friend.

Oh, besides a dog. Well then......thinking.......uh........thinking....... ..

Nothing comes to mind. For me, it's my dogs or nothing!

Does a guinea pig count. I have one of those. Her name is Miss Molly and she's a good pet.

I want a "Watch" bear to protect my house and patrol my front yard endlessly all day long

I've had a hamster and a blue rat. They were both awesome. Never had a guinea pig though. I tried keeping two mice this past fall, but they smelled horrible after two days, and my puppy kept trying to eat them.

Well if I could have ANY animal it's hard to beat a Bengal Tiger.......or a sweet Falcon.........Monkeys are cool as long as I don't have to take care of or clean up after it. Dolphins are cool. I'm sure there's more.

Monkey would make a great home defense weapon. The second an intruder steps in the door he flings sh*t all over the guy. Hell I'd turn around and run from that.

Not to mention a chimpanzee could rip your arm out it's socket.

I'm beginning to believe that Wandering man needs to visit and have a long talk with you FHF.

Why? 'cause I want a badger?

All lame choices thus far.

Here's my pick for pet:



Just can't pet her when wife is around.

I have children and Grand children so have just not said anything yet. Us old s usually watch and wait hoping for the best.

Where is WM anyway?

It goes beyond Badgers FTH. By the way, I have one on the wall in the form of a quiver.

Mike, I'm afraid a talk with Wandering Man would not result in what you could hope for. I'd still want a side saddle, a badger, more tattoos, and I'll still listen to angry music. BUT...I don't want a Desert Eagle anymore. I guess I'm making some sort of progress...

That is definitely progress.

Just enjoy whatever you have and get.

I never tried one but guess a side saddel might be easier to get off of when horsey does a little dance.

I would like a Panda... so I could sell it to China or a zoo stateside and buy a Ferrari.

Just as long as they're medium lights by Ernie Ball.

Let’s see. My daughters have had, or still have, rats, guinea pigs, dwarf hamsters, a corn snake, parakeet, rabbit and a beagle. I think I’ve dealt with my share of animals, but if I had to choose another it would be a sugar glider. My younger daughter starts college next fall, she is the female version of Jack Hannah.
