to want a snow leopard?

Grin

I really want one, and DH said no. And I think it's him BU not me. It could really keep my feet warm in bed, but DH said there wouldn't be any room for him in bed with a snow leopard. But there's a lovely sofa he can sleep on.

So, who is BU? Me or DH?

DS wants a rhino. For some reason DH won't even discuss it.

He's away for a month later this year so I'll just have to see what I can come up with on eBay whilst he's not looking...

RedOnHerHedd · 20/03/2016 21:38

A rhino would keep the lawn trimmed, and you could sell the manure. It's a money maker really, I can't see why your DH refuses to talk about it tbh.

That Alpaca wool is expensive, but I bet they're gorgeous when they're made up.

I spent some treat money on it-it is beautiful. I really should start it. I've made others with normal double knit wool and they still look fab.

They're endangered-you'd be doing a service to the planet. And think of the school projects your son could do based on it.

I want one of those miniature ponies. It would keep the grass short in the garden and surely wouldn't take that much looking after? DH (nasty man) said no. How very mean.

RedOnHerHedd · 20/03/2016 21:42

That is very nasty Wine

I want a Pygmy hippo.

PeaceOfWildThings · 20/03/2016 21:46

Why don't you all get your DPs/DCs onesies of these animals. Much easier.

TotalConfucius · 20/03/2016 21:47

I want a little herd of these in my garden. DS took this picture at Wingham this week and if I'd had my big handbag with me....well, who knows.
The purpose of the visit was to watch the two little jaguar cubs playing, and yes they were extremely cute.

I wouldn't mind a miniature donkey.

Red & Purple I think you've both encouraged me to take up crochet now!

RedOnHerHedd · 20/03/2016 21:50

Helsinki I'm struggling through anxiety and depression, and crocheting gives me something to do with my hands. I love it.

Do it helsinki. I learnt the basics on an afternoon course (about an hour) and you can teach yourself the rest with YouTube. Be warned-it is VERY addictive.

total last time I was at twycross they had baby capybara. If I could have snuck a few out I would have. Adorable.

KeepOnPlodding · 20/03/2016 21:52

I absolutely agree with DH that having14 baby pandas would be extremely unreasonable but I am only asking for one.

Tbh I'm not sure anyone would notice ...

RedOnHerHedd · 20/03/2016 21:55

There's nothing unreasonable about having one baby panda. Nobody would even notice one missing. In fact I think someone already swapped the one on the very left, as it looks more like a slipper...

Raccoon for me please. I've already worked out he could sleep in the airing cupboard where it's all nice and cwtchy. Plus they give you tissues when you are sad...

PurpleDaisies · 20/03/2016 22:03

Seeing that cute raccoon reminded me how much i'd like a weasel...

I want a 1 foot high elephant but the bastard scientists won't make one

HappyGirlNow · 20/03/2016 22:11

I want a polar bear. DH says yes but sourcing one seems to be an issue.

DH wants a skunk and a meerkat. I say no.

We both want a Pygmy donkey and a raccoon so these seem more doable.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 20/03/2016 23:40

A one foot giraffe would be soooooo cute, too.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 20/03/2016 23:40

One foot tall

twinjocks · 20/03/2016 23:45

I've just played the clip of the clouded leopard squeaking - and my lazy sleeping cat bolted upright and started looking all around - I think she wants a leopard too!

BankWadger · 20/03/2016 23:54

Musk ox, bactrian camel, red panda, ocelot, South American porcupine, fennex fox.

That should get me started. Please

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 20/03/2016 23:57

I also want a fish tank with all little baby sea creatures. That stayed little.
A turtle
A crab
An octopus
A star fish
A seahorse

BankWadger · 20/03/2016 23:57

Ohh and a dexter cow.
