I like it when owners of special animals like Saffron share the pros and cons of this type of pet ownership. It gives us all a realistic view of their needs and requirements. We don't necessarily walk away thinking we need to have one, just have a greater appreciation for the species, and the extra steps their owners take to make sure they are properly cared for.
I appreciate your passion, Rollickinghills. I wish all people were that careful before taking in any kind of pet.
We have had some unusual "Pet of the Day" recipients in the past. But the owners of each of those unusual ones also are careful to talk about the special needs of these animals. The lady with the Canada Geese (Goose) named Dirty Bird is one that comes to mind right away. It has been probably a year or more since the goose was Pet of the Day (just checked and it was in November of 2001), but what an insightful view of life with that goose we received.
Best intentions.
