OUR FAMILY HAS HAD THE RARE PLEASURE OF EXPERIENCEING TWO UNUSUAL PETS OVER THE YEARS..ONE WAS A SQUIREL.MY SON FOUND A BABY IN A PARKING LOT AND BROUGHT HIM HOME.WE NAMED HIM SPEEDY.HE WOULD PLAY JUST LIKE A KITTEN.WHEN YOU RUBBED HIS BELLY HE WOULD PLAYFULLY WRAP ALL HIS LEGS AROUND YOU.HE RAN BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE TOP OF THE COUCH AND WOULD JUMP ON PEOPLE LIKE THEY WERE MOVEING TREES.HE WAS ALOT OF FUN.OUR OTHER PET WAS A CANADIAN GOOSE.THE CONSERVATIONISTS WERE TRYING TO KEEP THE POPULATION DOWN BY POURING OIL ON THE NESTS.ONCE AGAIN MY SON CAME ACROSS A NEST WITH ONLY TWO LIVING GEESE.HIS FRIEND TOOK ONE AND THE OTHER CAME HOME TO ME.NOT EVEN SURE HE WOULD SURVIVE ,I CLEANED A CONTAINER OUT FOR HIM AND KEPT HIM WARM AND FED...AFTER HE GOT A LITTLE BIGGER WE HAD HIM OUTSIDE AND HE WANTED TO BE WITH US SO HE WOULD KNOCK ON THE DOOR WITH HIS BEAK UNTIL WE LET HIM IN.THEN HE WOULD GO TO THE BREAD CUPBOARD AND WAIT FOR A TREAT.HE SWAM WITH US IN THE LAKE AND STARTED FOLLOWING ME EVERYWHERE.HIS FEET WERE LIKE HOT COALS,MUST BE THATS HOW THEY SURVIVE THE COLD WATER.WHY ANYONE WOULD EVER WANT TO HUNT TWO SUCH SPECIAL ANIMALS OR ANY FOR THAT MATTER,JUST BREAKS MY HEART.WHAT WAS YOUR UNUSUAL PET???

i have never had an amimal beside a dog but it woukld be cool to help a stray animal. mostly we got alot of stray dogs and cats where we where at now that we live in the country i don't see alot of animals that are strays. people who hunt should know what it fells like on the other side.

i love lady bugs did you know it is called the lady beetle? Nearly 400 species of Ladybugs live in North America, and there are nearly 5,000 species worldwide!:)

The only unusual pet I had was a jackson chameleon. Love those lizards and others, I think they are cool. I had nursed a wild turtle dove back to health. It became so tame it would come perch on my shoulders but I knew it had to be put back into the wild with the others. It kept flying towards the windows looking at the other birds.
