We used to have Cavey's and a tortoise when the kids were small.
Great fun but, I prefer our dogs.
A dog's loyalty is a precious thing.
TPBM has a loyal pet...
Actually a slingshot with soft rubber pellets to keep the cats off the wifes new car.
Don't want to kill them, just put the fear of me into them.
TPBM is a real hunter.
dont have too many near me...they are either snatched up by foxes or coyotes. but after seeing the size of a couple coyotes killed by the side of the road recently I'm not going to let my dogs wander too far towards the woods.
TPBM also has some larger carnivorous animals living near them
