Do you have a unique pet? Out of the norm?

My Jasper a standard dachshund watches TV and barks at any animal he sees on the screen. I can't even watch horse racing without him bouncing around on the floor barking wanting to play with the horses on the TV.

We have two ratties! Ginny and Allie. That is Allie on my profile picture. They are the sweetest girls ever! I never would have considered ratties as pets but my daughter's class had a litter and we took home Ginny and then got Allie as her buddy. Allie would have been snake food. Ginny gets the sniffles too but we have never taken her to the Friars. They run around the house and are so naughty and hilarious. Greyson is the best Rat Daddy around!

Currently, our only slightly odd pet is Gytha, our tangerine phase bearded dragon. I love watching her hunt her crickets and roaches.

We've had rats before, but after losing the last one I just can't do it anymore. Their lives are too short and their deaths quite often too ugly. When I was a kid, we had all sorts of rodents. Hamsters, gerbils, mice, sometimes dozens at a time. We had a few litters but never gave any of them up. Just built more cages. At one point when I was in my early teens we had 35 rodents of various varieties in 13 cages.

i have a wild hermit crab--at least i think thasts what he is called...he started out as a shell for Jo--i didnt see the lil guy in there...she left said shell at my house when she went back to NY...2 days later i found out that he managed to chew his way out of the plastic bag,falla few feet to the floor and head for the door....i bough him an aquarium,go to the beach periodically for fresh sand..got him some rock and coral in there...bought him 2 friends--both died..but ol Woody is going strong....at first i would get him out of his cage every few days,but he wouldnt come out of his shell till i cupped my hands over him and blew on him....the first few times i went a long period of time without getting him out he would bite me AND pee on me before proceeding to climb all over me.

i still have Woody a yr and a half or so later!

Hmmmmm... unique?... this house is full of them! There is the blind pom male dog.. Midnight.. yes he was my namesake when I was trying to come up with a username.. He spins in circles and often we have to herd him into the back door so he doesnt run smack into it.. Like Damon did today..

Then.. there is the neurotic cat Jewel that lives in my master bathroom.. by her own choice

. She will not drink out of anything except the bathroom sink's faucet

Peppa..well... the holy terror Peppa.. is verrrryyy unique... thank god! I couldnt handle 2 of her..
