Dogs and cats - do they mix... with horses, rats, chameleons and parrots?

[Vallhala]

Before Bella asks! :o

'Tis a bloody stupid new classification system it has to be said.

I can understand having "Pets", "Chickens" and "The Tack Room".

I could even see an arguable case for "Pets", "The Tack Room" and "Llamas".

But this pig's ear?

Oh yes, and what about pigs too? Surely there must be need for "The Pigsty". Anything else is discrminatory.

My dog mixes with cats, parrots, cockatiels, pigeons, fish and lizards. He does not like horses. At all.

I don't think I have missed anything, but there could have been some new additions to my parents zoo like home by the next time I visit. Rats have been discussed for a while.

Oooh - Shiny. You'd better clear your diary, hon. You've got a lot of new topics to cover now!!!

Val - my Vietnamese Pot Bellieds are feeling distinctly overlooked. But 'Llamas'? That's just silly

My dog mixes with everything except other dogs, can she have her own unsociable topic

Bella?? You have Pot Bellied Pigs????

I likes pigs, I does! :o

Aw, hon - no, I don't . But I absolutely love them. They are so fab, aren't they?

I don't watch much tv but did you see the bloke on Horse & Country (Sky) who taught the pig to sit using a clicker? Awesome. They are reputed to be as intelligent as dogs, aren't they?

Sorry, am off on one . Might have to drag the dc to a petting farm at the weekend so I can get a pig 'fix'
