I thought I was done with this thread...but that was before I found this...

Monkey adopts puppy.



Cat adopts mouse.



Dog adopts kittens.

My dog often likes to sleep on her side, and just after we got our two cats, they would sometimes try to drink from the dog's nipples.

AWWWWWWWWW

How cute :puke

Sure. It's all cute until somebody gets an eye poked out! >:


... or savagely mangled and devoured by a wild animal. :/

Domestic ferrets are not wild animals.

My friend had a white domesticated rat he bought from a pet store. It was one of his favorite pets he ever had. Add newborn son. He was letting it run around loose in the same room as his son was in one day (I know he probably shouldn't have) and the rat bit the a little chunk of the tip of his tongue off. He heard him his son crying and came into the room. He saw the rat in his son's face, picked it off and was so upset he threw it against the wall. He really didn't mean to but he was upset, you know. He felt bad about it as it was a pet that had served him well to that point so he took it to the vet. The vet said that he probably smelled the milk on the baby's breath and that he saw things like that happen before. Long story short, he got rid of the rat. So much for domesticated animals.

Well you shouldn't put a pet rat in a room with a child too young to deal with it properly, especially not a newborn! Same goes for dogs and cats. No pets around a baby. Period.

So were they able to fix the kids tongue or what?

I read a sad news story some time ago about a kid who'd been home alone with his dog, and had gotten attacked. The dog was put down, but afterwards they discovered dozens of staples in one of his ears. Junior's work.

I hate kids >:

Well at least the dog got his revenge on the kid. :/

Thing was that it was a trusted, mild pet who never did anything like that before. The boy was in a crid raised above the floor approx 1.5 to 2 feet while the rat was (supposed to be) on the floor. How can you foresee that kind of thing happening? Also, how are you going to not have a cat around your kids if he's already a household pet? Cats can climb and get into basically wherever they want in a house. You'd have to get rid of it NOT to have it around your kids.
Ref Jake's tongue: He's about 8 years old now and still has a little bit of a cleft on the end of his tongue. The surgery just required a tetanus shot and a couple of stiches if I remember correctly.

someone's never lived in a house with doors in it before :lol
