What animals do you associate with your children/families?

[Columbia]

We have here a puppy (ds1), a mouse(ds2) and I think a horse (me)

My grandmother is a hippo
Not sure about the rest!

sorry if this makes no sense at all but I hope some of you know what I mean!

have you had no sleep?

how can you tell Liesel

Oh the shame of the answerless thread
just me then I take it

But my children really are like those animals!

nobody?

I do this with DD's boyfriends, but only as dogs.

So far she's had a sheepdog (large hairy, loyal), a red setter (pretty but dumb) an afghan hound (long nose & lots of long blond hair) a rottweiler (turned out to be vicious) & a Jack Russell (never stopped yapping)
Haven't categorised the current one yet - what do you think? He seems very nice so far, kind & looks after her very well.

Lurcher, definitely

She's very pretty Rusty!

Thanks - I think so too!
I've never known a lurcher, so I don't know what they're like.

I think most boys are like dogs. Bet they'd like their willies if they could!

That should've been 'lick their willies!'

Oh, I think they have a certain 'nobility', Rusty.

Forty! I agree

One of those mad whirring chipmonks (ds1) and a sensitive to mood cat (ds2), a bear (my dad) and a hyena (my brother)

See I told you I wasn't the only one!

Well, if we can include cartoon animals, I'd say I have a couple of Taz (where does the ' go?)s
