They are very cute. I'm sure that if they have all their vaccinations and are house trained they'd make great pets.

I don't want one that pines and gets destructive.

It's not advised to get two together EBD. They might bond with each other more than with you. And then there's the humping....

pet Mumsnetter in case the Nethuns want one, in the interests of fairness.

mauwmauw · 08/06/2012 09:51

I thought it said netmum too :)

I even wrote a response about sparkles and tickers, then read what everyone else had written.

TroublesomeEx · 08/06/2012 10:17

God I read it as pet NetMum too.

Now I see I'm not the only one.

So I'm going to do the laundry...

WifiNappies · 08/06/2012 12:22

YANBU any number in particular? I want my own Jargonaise!
I also want one of those turbans that the Cloudbabies wear

TiggyD · 08/06/2012 12:24

I thought it was Netmum too, until I saw the bit about being them being house trained.

SarryB · 08/06/2012 12:25

I read that as 'to want a pet NetMum'.

Why would you want a pet NetMum? Surely a Mumsnetter would be much more fun? (although, harder to train...and more likely to talk back)

YABU - Looking at the pictures, not sure there's much difference between a Numtum and a Nethun. Grin

Also, on a serious Wink note - the sparkliness and twee-ness will make you ill and you'll be back on here with a WWYD as to how to get rid.
Then a whole load of MN'ers will pile in about how you should have thought more carefully in the first place and a Nuthun Nethun Numtum is for life, and not just a damp British 'summer'...
Yes, it will all end in tears.

A 10 will take more feeding and bigger clothes. You need a nice slim 1. Don't get an 8 either!
