Can we have a Mumsnet pet?

[EvilTiggyD]

We could have a little window showing a webcam view of it on the right hand side of the site, if you can squeeze it between the adverts. It would be good for those of us who don't have pets of our own or who accidentally ate theirs.

I suggest a tank with a goldfish called Mr Fish. I would also like a miniature goat, but it would probably drown in the tank.

A donkey!!!

Axolotl. Which of course should be called Aristotle. And please Evil, how did you accidentally eat your pet?

We could actually really sponsor a pet:

this one

Don't they eat small pieces of raw liver Bathsheba? Who gets that job?

Awww soupy, there can be no other pet really, though a goat seems fitting ;) could we have Noel Fielding?

Dang! Link fail.

Soupy can never be replaced. Soupy will live in our hearts forever. It would be like when a Blue Peter dog gets retired and they try to get everyone all jolly and excited by holding a naming competition for the usurper.

I was going to suggest a cat until I really thought if through

Netmums would be up in arms if the Mumsnet cat shit in their twinkly borders.

A fish is much better, agree needs to be bigger than bite-sized what the actual Jeff!!? so I'm bringing a Tuna Fish to the table.

I wouldn't mind Arsenic, I like weird pets.

I vote for a pigmy hippo.

Oh one of those fighting fish as a warning to the trolls. A sort of "play nice or we unless Bernard on you" type thing.

Because Bernard is the perfect name for a fighting fish.

Unleash. FFS auto cucumber

Auto cucumber

Oh I fucking give up auto CORRECT

Auto cucumber has me in stitches!!

I vote for a stackable goat. Very convenient.

A capybara. Or Axolotl.

It's the liver I don't like Bathsheba not the axylotls (sp?)

Gerbils? I think they sometimes eat their young, which would be cool for a parenting site.

I used to work with 2 people who ate their pet rabbits. (or their parents cooked them at any rate). That would have been in the 70s though, when everybody did it.

Shouldn't it be a pet viper?

MICROPIGS.

it has to be a goat, doesn't it?

We had goats at school . They are very affectionate.

I need micro pigs in my life! How cute!

What about a hedgehog. Or rats? Rats are fun, they sit in your bra looking all cute.

You're right. Let's have this guy instead.
