That's okay waggawerewolf27, no one blames you.

Unfortunately I just came in, so what are we talking about?

Various teas gave Lion's Emblem tea overload, therefore I wanted to discuss pets, which must go into quarantine, if their owners relocate them to another country.

What's your favorite pet?

Xenarthras, which are sloths and armadillos, might be reasonably safe exotic pets, but wouldn't it be far kinder to stick to my favourite, but fairly ordinary, two cats?

Yellow canaries and cats probably should be kept apart from one another.

Zoo animals would not be ideal to choose for pets.

Aardvarks, anteating armadillos, and Australian echidnas might be useful neighbours to keep ants and termites at bay, however.

Budgies and canaries were the favourites of an old man whose funeral I attended this week, and he hated cats to the point of getting an air rifle to deal with cats attacking birds in his garden, before he felt guilty and gave the gun away!

Cats are my favorite.

Dogs, who have had the right training, can often work as herders of sheep and cattle, as guard and police dogs, and as seeing-eye dogs, but are such dogs really suited to be pets?

Each person has a different set of needs, so their choice of pet will reflect that.

For me, horses are the best since they, like dogs, can be trained to work with police, or be guide animals (if minis), as well as pull things, be ridden and just be a pet.

Gerbils seem to be popular children's pets but I don't know what they are supposed to be?

Hmm, aren't gerbils some sort of hamster, mouse, or guinea pig?
