If you could have any pet, what would it be?

A peacock! :)

by Happy Mom

I had a friend who had an uncle and they had two peacocks as pets. They would roam around the neighborhood (they lived in a small town). Peacocks are so beautiful.

Well.....in a ideal world, I would like a Lion that won't kill me, or anyone else.
That was very loving, and very big!

I used to breed llamas and if I could have any pet, apart from dogs, which I always have and always will, I would love to have llamas again, but sadly, after an accident, could not now manage a large property.

Tigers! Snow Leopards! Lynx! Pussy-cats of all sorts. Dogs, alpaca, kangaroos, wallabies, koala, Leadbeaters Possums, and more.
I'd love to have so many animals love me as I them.
Strangely enough, I have not wanted to have a male lion or large birds. Little Finches are a delight as are the Eastern Parrot & Rosella.
Australia has more Endangered animals on the Extinction register than any other country. WHY don't we care more?
I'm a 'buddy' for 3 adorable animals at EDGAR's MISSION, Victoria.
Edgar's Mission takes in animals who have been left to starve, cast aside, often injured, dumped, hurt, starving. Edgar's Mission rescues so many, providing a safe home with love & care, but they need help.
I'd really like to see an article on Edgar's Mission and their rescued 'family', all of whom need help. Our bushfires were very close last week. I hope all are OK. I'm still not keen on having a lion, though!

On behalf of all animal lovers out there, thank you for your great work helping out animals in Edgar's Mission.

I have my dream pet. He is a 30 pound pure bred male Maine Coon. He is beautiful and sweet and I have always wanted one so I got one about two years ago. You only live once.

Are we restricted to animals that actually exist? If not, I'd like a dragon, or maybe a griffin.

I'd want to be a dog - your toughest challenges in life are not getting into the mud and sleeping for over 12 hours a day. Plus cuddles from humans! ;)

by Xarah

No sure what pet I would want because I like all animals. I guess I should buy a farm and have all animals on it! ;)

A chocolate burmese cat please :)

by Justine Crowley

A dolphin or a penguin.

by Ivana Katz

Like Jennifer, I would also have a Dragon, but it would be a small one that could wrap around a finger.

A golden retriever. They are such gorgeous dogs. Had I the time and space to look after one!

I've always been a dog person but recently I've adopted a little kitten and now I do not want any other pet than my little kitten. I love him so much. Can't think of any other pet that I would want right now

by elise

A giraffe.

by glenys

It would have to be a toss up between a dragon or a unicorn

Although a huge responsibility, I'd love some horses and goats (does that count as pets?) - just need the land to put them on. Ha.

I have the dream pet, he is a little black and tan Papillon .. He is a real littte character and great company for me now that I live alone

I also have my dream pet, a long haired chihuahua. He is such a darling and suits us so well. He is loyal, doesn't eat too much and loves to snuggle up on the armchair with me when I watch Netflix. My best pet ever.

My dream pet is a long haired chihuahua. Why is that my dream pet? Because we adopted one that someone didn't want any more and he is adorable. We have had him for over 9 years. He is definitely my dream pet, small, doesn't bark too much, doesn't dig holes, encourages me to go out for walks, loyal.

I still would love a Horse! But that ain't gonna happen!
Friend of mine breeds & owns Icelandic Horses! She lives on a 50 acre property! Lucky her!

Would love to have a female Welsh Pembroke Corgi dog again. Bred them, & owned for 25 years! They're beautifully natured dogs. Great size for a suburban block!

But I'll just have to keep loving my rescue SP Siamese cat! He sure found his 'forever' home with me & gets spoilt to the nth degree!
But isn't that the way it SHOULD be for our little 'furry friends'?

A cat but I can't stand the hair fall-out.
