Besides common domesticated animals, what animal would you want as a pet. <\/strong><br \/>Well, I am informed that genetically engineered miniature elephants or giraffes do not exist, to my chagrin. <br \/>So with that being said, I think a pet bonobo.  Probably illegal and even immoral to own one but this is a fantasy <strong>exercise<\/strong>. They are adorable and very very closely related to humans and highly trainable.   Sure a big mess and chaos would ensue but isn&#8217;t that the world we live in now anyway? <br \/><br \/><strong>2. If animals could talk which one would be the rudest?<\/strong><br \/>A mule.  They have this tough working animal life and probably have a foul mouthed blue collar outlook on life. <br \/><br \/><strong>3. Which one would be the sassiest?<\/strong><br \/>An alpaca.  Sassy with a South American Spanish accent. <br \/><br \/><strong>4. What do you remember about your first pet?<\/strong><br \/>The first family pet was a black dog named Rudy but I barely remember him. Then we had the stalwart family dog, a pure white Alaskan husky.  A sweet super smart guard dog who watched us children to alert for any perceived threat. <br \/><br \/><strong>5. What&#8217;s your best &#8220;unused&#8221; pet name for your next pet? <\/strong><br \/>I have a few in the back pages of the Rolodex of my brain but pet names are pretty organic and are dictated by the actions and personality of the pet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
