Thread: Interesting or funny pets.

Our pug has two speeds, flat out and fast asleep. He can go from 100 mph to this in a matter of minutes. He doesn't even get to his mat, just flakes it on the floor, spread eagled...

Haha that's how digger lays, spread eagle. gee he looks small.

We have sheep.
The original has almost killed 90% of my family, even occasioned an ambulance call out once.
We have a set of twins, called Myles and Bette, who we raised as poddies and would follow mum around the garden eating the weeds she tossed them.

He is normal puggy size - small, but he is all muscle. Harder to walk than much bigger dogs - he is very strong, and only 1 year old, so still half puppy. He is a rescue, so needs some training - like how to walk on a leash, and how not to chase the cats, but our biggest cat got him a beauty tonight and he seems to have changed his mind on those hissy fluffy things he likes to chase around the house to those pointy, scratchy things that nearly took his eye out...

Got a bearded dragon called Lazy ... not hard to guess why
Will probably have a dog again soon, type yet to be determined!

You have my curious....Please explain haha

We simply have wild birds which sometimes come for a snack.
A rainbow lorikeet which adores grapes, he is a regular, some kookaburras which dont mind a scratch on the neck occasionally, a pair of magpies which sit on my knee and then burst into an earsplitting chorus, pied butcher birds which sit on my knee as well as a peewee which will sit on my hand.
Occasionally we have some drongo birds which will come and flutter nearly in your face for a small handout.
For a while we were wondering what ate all our small hot chillies and saw a few female satin bower birds taking them as also the cherry tomatoes.
We have just been away to Asia to visit family for a month and my wife said the afternoon she arrived home the birds come for a visit as they kept an eye on the house.

Sooty was a mainly black Marino given to my mum by some bloke she didn't particularly like.
Originally she was our only sheep, and as such we became quite attached to her, and her to the food we gave her.
She had her own pen, as well as being let out on a rope.
I made the mistake once of putting my foot in a loop of her rope on the ground, which when she attempted to break the land speed record, gave me a lovely rope burn around my ankle.
Another time I held on to the end of the rope, which would have been about 30m long with her doing another speed run. My father takes much delight in recounting the story of how for a brief second he observed me being perfectly horizontal about 6 feet off the ground.
Then one day the rope took dads feet out from underneath him and he whacked his head on the ground rather violently.
But, she had personality. And a white fauxhawk.
