Had a black footed ferret named Louise for about 8 years. She was a funny mischievous animal that liked to raise he'll once in a while. She also liked to hide your stuff from you like your wallet or car keys.
She was litter box trained and had her scent glands remove so we'd leave her cage door open at times and in follow you around the house. She always wanted to watch what you were doing.

Not me! Had a monitor lizard for a spell when I lived on Guam. Kept the house clear of little lizards. Also had a Guam Rail, a species now extinct. It could run circles around Wile E. Coyote.
I am..........disturbed.

The middle son got a rabbit one Easter and named him “Eddie Rabbit” after the popular songwriter and singer - “Love the Rainy Nights”. A cousin had a male black and tan fife squirrel dog - called him “Barney Fife”! He was named appropriately, very nervous and high strung. Fidgetey.

I know an ol boy in east central Kansas that has mountain lions for pets. De-clawed and K-9's removed. IIRC he fed them dry cat food.
A friend of mine had a zebra and a giraffe for a while.

When I was abput 8 - 9 years old I had a pet pig that followed me around like a dog. It was great for a year or so but then I realized that if you plan on eating an animal don't have it as a pet.

Most of our chickens have food names like nugget, Kung pow, sweet and sour which are 2 different birds, or even one just named dinner. They all get food names with a few exceptions like Pecker, although a few of our democrats would consider that in line with the theme. Bb

When I was in my late teens, I built an "escape proof" cage and would catch and keep rattlesnakes. Great conversation starter.

After we got married, my wife brought a prairie dog home. let it run around the house for a little while til we found all the holes it had chewed in the carpet.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Dad had a tame raccoon and squirrel that he raised from babies.
When I was in the 6th grade, we hatched a mallard hen in an incubator. I was the first human she saw, so I became her "mommy". She would follow me around like a puppy. Someone gave us a drake and we eventually ended up with a flock of 23.

I had a chameleon. Or my live in girlfriend at the time did. It was a good pet, never made noise or a mess. Collect a few bugs in the yard for it to eat, wicked fast and accurate tongue.Everything else moved super slow. Eyeballs going two directions. It would climb al over in the houseplants,took awhile to find it sometimes. Great camo, we had a black and white designs rug it would be black and white lines just like the rug move forward an inch and the color would change on its body to the color of the rug perfectly lined up. It layer about 30 eggs and died, while the girlfriend was on vacation. I don’t think she ever forgave me.

We had a couple of Ferrets when my kids were young. It technically belongs to my granddaughter, but she keeps a hedgehog here. Stepdad said she couldn't bring it home. Easiest pet ever to care for. We almost never see it. It sleeps all day and runs in the wheel all night. All we do is put food and water out for it. Our granddaughter cleans the cage when she visits.
She is also the only one who can pick it up without wearing leather gloves too.
Two years ago I found 2 turkey eggs while hunting. They weren't in a nest, just lying in the middle of a logging road. One had not fully formed, but I took the other to a friend who is a wildlife re-habitation expert. He placed the egg inside an incubator along with 6 mallard eggs. When they hatched, he released them near a pond on his property. About a week later a group of turkey showed up and the young turkey left with them.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

We had a couple of coons at different times. When I was 11, we had one named “Pete” who was like one of the family. He loved riding motorcycles. I had an SL/70 Honda, and I’d put a sweatshirt on zippered 1/2 way up, thus making a pouch for him. He loved it. Had a piece of rain spout with both ends sealed. We’d put water in there and some minnows or crawdads for him to fish for. You didn’t want him around if you were trying to work under a car though. He had his nose in your business trying to see what you’re doing, or the little creep was carrying off your tools! Reon
