When I was a kid, we had a pet pig named Leona. Anybody else have a weird family pet? :smile:

    Canini di Lorenzo
    Geronimo von Haas
    Fluke Kelso

    And the birds were called
    Tuzi Fliegend
    Robert Fliegend

    I had pet snapper turtles i kept in a tank in my room. Used to feed them baby mice and frogs... I could not keep up with feeding and cleaning up after them and eventually put them back out in a local pond.

    When I was really little my sister had a tiny crab she found at the beach. I have no clue how but that thing stayed alive for a whole year! lol My boyfriend had a pet kangaroo named Strawberry when he was a kid lol. No one believes him because they think he's just being a typical Australian trying to trick Americans into believing stupid stuff lol. It's true though, I've seen the pictures hahaha.

    Well we had 2 full-sized pigs at my house, but they weren't pets. They were delicious, though.

    Funny story, in case anyone thinks I ever had a heart... We were pretty young so my parents tried to play it off like they had just sold the pigs and coincidentally bought a whole bunch of pork chops and ham at the store. One night at dinner I piped up with, "Boy, Sally sure does taste great!"
