As for my outlandish fantasy pet - I'm already a cat-lady with 3 in our house so a big cat would be a must (panther or lion), but I'd also insist on an otter.

You probably learned a great deal from your little Breezy! <br /><br />I must say, I already HAVE the best pet I can imagine. He is a 7-year-old, snuggly Rottweiler named Otto who watches over me when I sleep, sings along with me (LOUD howling!) when I'm practicing music, and who joyfully chases tennis balls... and patiently tries to teach ME to fetch them for him! He looks at the ball, looks at me, back at the ball, and in his eyes I see "Come on, Mommy, use your nose!"Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-88612382196317654912018-02-07T09:55:07.684-06:002018-02-07T09:55:07.684-06:00I would have a Siberian Tiger!!!

I was watching a nature show and a shot elephant was being left by the herd to die alone. I stood in my living room sobbing the tears of an emotional pregnant woman, without the will to change the channel or leave the room. My husband was baffled to say the least.

Why not adopt a real elephant through the World Wildlife Fund? My fantasy pet is always a horse - he's black, has kind eyes and a long mane and tail.

I’m glad you pushed through to the end. I think one-time tiny personal paper pieced projects are worth the effort. There is so much satisfaction in the end. I don’t have any pets, although I love dogs and have learned to love my grand kitty. But since this is fantasy, I’d say a baby (definitely a baby) leopard. I had a stuffed version as a kid that went everywhere with me. Her name was Leppy, of course.JanineMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475847392355523001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-1893353116014857712018-02-06T19:10:54.061-06:002018-02-06T19:10:54.061-06:00This is adorable!

We had to feed the remaining alligators on a regular basis or they’d come for us!! One year it got really cold and we had to actually go in the alligator pen to retrieve the newly hatched baby alligators. Really stupid idea considering the mama’s are extremely protective!! The babies were gathered up and put in the bathtub until it was safe to put them back outside! Tell your husband it can be done…it’s just not recommended!!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719432822327081144noreply@blogger.com
