Hello.  Thanks for stopping by this weeks edition of Small Talk Six.  Momdot.com’s weekly Saturday meme.  This week was fun.  Everyone is sharing their list of six animals (domestic, wild or exotic) that would be fun to have as a pet.  I am a huge animal lover, so this week was easy and fun for me.

1.  Sulcata Tortoise. Seriously, is this not the cutest freaking thing ever?  I have been wanting one for a long time.  Ever since I worked at my uncle’s pet shop.  The only thing stopping me from bringing this adorable little thing home is the fact that it will live for 100 years and end up weighing about 100 pounds!  I worry about who would take care of it after I died.

2.  Turkey. I am actually really close to getting one of these right now (don’t tell the DH).  Me and my mom took all the boys to a local farm.  They had a petting zoo there with a couple turkey’s.  The boys LOVED them.  There was so many animals, but they just stayed and fed the turkey’s, laughing the whole time.  So today, I am at the pet store getting Mr. A. some guppy’s when I see a pen full of baby turkeys!!  I want one.  I want one bad.  I know, I’m impossibly hillbilly.  I can’t help it…they make my boys smile.

3.  Snake. This one is specifically a Ball Python.  They are really fun to have.  I had lots of different snakes growing up.  They’re cool.

4.  Pot Belly Pig. A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.

5.  Miniature Horse.  I always thought it would be so fun to have one and let it come in and out of my house like a dog.  Again, I know I’m showing off my hillbilly nature.

6.  A Black and White Great Dane.  Beautiful dogs.  I’ve wanted one for many years but have never gotten one because they have pretty short life spans.  I get attached to my pets completely and can’t imagine losing one after only 8-10 years of old age.  Maybe someday.

So there’s my list.  What’s on yours??  If you want to learn more or participate in Small Talk Six, then head on over to momdot.com!
