I would have a smallholding in the living room alone. A sheep, two lamas, a horse, a guide dog puppy and two bunnies. I would be delighted until I needed to poo pick.

I don't think they'd be navy animals we wouldn't have...

Iknowaboutpopular · 21/03/2025 18:17

I couldn't count, the kids have eleventy million stuffed animals. But if they all came alive it wouldn't just be cats, dogs, elephants, an axolotl and an octupus...we'd also be living with Harry Potter, Bowser and the Super Mario Bros!
