The Ultimate Pet

If you could take anything to be your domesticated pet, what would it be?

I'd love a miniature pet tornado. I'd name it Spinny. Spinny would eat mobile homes and cows and other than occasional disciplining for tossing the mailman around, he would be a very loyal and well behaved pet. :)

Doesn't matter what anyone else posts after this, Goof. You win the thread.

Okay, this always confused me...when is it okay to feed them again...I mean, pretty much all times are after midnight...

Ladies and Gentlemen, William Abdullah Quilliam.

He had a fez-wearing monkey. Now that is an awesome pet.

A pet T-Rex. Who wouldn't want a T-Rex that you could ride to school and work? Of course you have to keep it from eating people, but it's ok if it eats the people that really annoys you. However, the droppings, eh, you might need a bulldozers, a dump truck, and a landfill that doesn't mind the T-Rex crap.

I guess anytime after midnight and before dawn the next day.

Though the feeding cycles of pet rocks are rather spread out. You might feed it once in your lifetime.

No no no.. he had a pet Moose. The midget was his court jester whom he thought was clairvoyant, or something..

I want an elephant for Christmas
just like the one down at the zoo!

A real live elephant of my very own!
Oh! What wonderful things we could do!

I could ride on his back up and down the street,
a shower from his trunk won't that be neat!

He could sleep every night, by my bed on the floor
my only problem is getting him through the door!

Pudú! It's a deer, only it's about 12-14 inches tall and barks like a dog! Saw some in a zoo before, they even had the babies and all! :fluffle:

Or for something a couple of inches smaller, how about an itty bitty antelope?

A pet French waiter, just so that everything I did could be remarked upon with "aaah, a very fine choice, sir".

Also he could casually spit in the food of anyone I didn't like, which would be quite spiffing, to say the least :)

Could a Komodo dragon actually eat a whole person?

a green furry levitating spheroid of unknown extra terrestrial origen

or a little looking furry spirit friend, somewhat vulpoid looking, with perhaps not so obviously more then one tail, who really does love me, and i (him?)

one that loves little trains and ufo's like i do, and brings happiness wherever he goes, often unnoticed, and never seen by anyone who rejects innocence.

of course, any stray that wanders in would be more then welcome, if only i could live someplace where i was permitted to welcome them.

if we could all live in a world where everyone everywhere was encouraged to do so.

Only a dead one. So after the dragon bites the victim it has to follow it for several hours. On the plus side, less cleaning. But the pet might become lost, so one would be wise to give it a collar with a chip.

If you could take anything to be your domesticated pet, what would it be?


A pet LG. It would be a chaotic entity with partial indestructibility and a never ending stream of physics defying antics plus spontaneous bakery materials generation. I theorize that in sufficient numbers or in the presence of pure seriousness, it would warp space time itself, creating any number of statistically improbable events to occur.

And just think of the possibilities. I could paradrop my pet LG into say, Washington DC, and overnight Capitol Hill would become a Big Top circus, no congress critter left unpied, and no president or presidential candidate left unwedgied.

Domesticate? That would be the greatest folly of keeping a pet LG. LGs should be bred for maximized chaos. :p

i would like a pet polar bear.

she would be playful but still remember that her teeth and claws can hurt me. she would lie on the floor in the living room and let me snuggle up to her soft white fur and watch tv. in our rare winter snowstorms i would harness her to a sleigh (like the white witch in that narnia movie) and give rides to all the kids.

no bad guy would ever try to break into a house with a polar bear growling on the other side of the door.

LG, long time no see. I've been busy, I'm in Iraq right now....

Anyway, I'd have a cougar. I worked at a wildlife rehabilitation clinic, and they a cougar kitten come in. She was the coolest animal ever. She always wanted to play, and she was very friendly.

They're hard to housebreak and tend to be bad-tempered. But, if you spay or neuter them and insist on obedience training, some make good guardian pets. Not good around children, though.

Hmm.. I'd have to go with a gryphon. He wouldn't be a pet, more like a friend that doubles as transportation. I could toilet train him and ride him around and he could share my dinner and it would be the bestest time ever.

Well I thought it'd be an easy pet to have, since they don't need toilet paper, baths, etc. And I get sick of it, I can always just blow it up.

Give them the right motivation, and they'll do it themselves. Best not to let them near populated areas when they're ready for this, though, they like company when they blow.

A Ruffy. So I could smack it with rolled up newspapers all day.

Failing that, a small VW bug convertible. Around two feet tall, maybe. It could roll around the apartment, chase its own exhaust, and honk affectionately when I'd pet its ragtop.

Aww.

To be literary, it would be soft to have an Alaspinian Miniature Dragon...

Or perhaps a big glowing jellyfish that "swims" through the air and turns into a lovely shrub-sized polyp now and then. It would have two non-stinging tentacles which I could grasp to have it fly me around.

In the "real animals" category, I would go with an otter.

After all this talk about a pet version of LG I'm stuck with the frightening mental image of a hyperactive Ewok trickster with the almighty powers of Q and a religious belief that he himself is the god of chaos and mischief.

Compared to that it feels meek to say that I've always wanted a skeleton butler, partly because it would add a nice touch to the interior of a home and partly because the idea of bones holding together and moving on their own is so unrealistic.

Im going to have to say either a polar bear, or a rhino. Either i could ride around on with my shotgun (think post apocalyptic). And as an added bonus they could either trample, gore, eat anyone that got in my way.

if neither of those two are available ill take one of these (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coG3WUq8_mQ)
Now dosent that look fun!
