Rats put me on the table top. I guess I'd say cats and dogs equally. Horses are pretty "up there" on my list.

It's hard to narrow it down... but try ;)

It took a few years working with rats before I was hooked. They get bad press!

I couldn't choose either . . . there's dogs, horses, birds, bears. . .

If I did have to choose, I might pick the cat family (but I like dogs just as well).

Well, guess if I have to narrow it down I'll go with cats, although I sure like a good dog. :D

All these cats lovers and only one bird. Is there going to be enough to go around?

Just so long as nobody thinks the rat's for dinner. I'm all tough and chewy--really. And besides, no one wants a dinner than bites back :)

Anything willing to let me hang out and watch for a while.

I have a lot of questions I'd like to have answered, like why is it that all the road-kill squirrels on my street are facing west? Is there a big party they're all headed for when that final car crushes their expectations?

And what are the barn swallows doing at night that makes the clicking sound I hear through the monitoring system? I would guess they're shooting craps, but when I poke my head in the door, they're nowhere to be seen.

Do deer have to go through the fence when there's an open gate three feet away? Is that part of the Deer Code of Ethics?

Where do all the ladybugs come from, and why don't they go back there and leave me alone?

Just so many questions! Every species has a story to tell. It's going to take me some time to find translators, but I want to hear them all.

I think if any one of us could fully comprehend squirrel, mice and deer behavior, we could retire happy.:D
