As many of you know, we share our humble abode with a large number of inanimate pets. We do love animals, but we don't like the idea of pet odors, cleaning up after them, etc, etc. So inanimate pets are a perfect choice. Their diet pretty much entirely consists of carpet flowers, and we haven't had a single carpet-flower problem ever since we've had our very first pets. Their digestion is 100% efficient. They all have names, and are every bit as cuddly and affectionate as the animate variety, and far more intelligent. One has a degree from the London School of Economics, another is Grand Chancellor of his own university (the world-renown Bob's University of Advanced Penguinity & Comparative Avian Studies) but we'll get to that in later posts. For now, here are a few candid shots of them around the house. If there is one problem with inanimate house breeds, it is that they do tend to take over the place. Anon...
These are wonderful but the bear and bird did me in. What joy.
ReplyDeleteThe bear is actually a darling little wombat named Rodney, and the kiwi is Jean-Pierre who we adopted on a vacation in Normandy.
DeleteMy apologies to Rodney!
DeleteOh, he understands; he gets that alot. But he does get a little miffed when people think he's a beaver. Not only does he not have a beaver tail, he really doesn't have a tail at all.
DeleteI would never have that he was a beaver, but we don’t get many wombats around here.
Delete👍👍👍
DeleteThe penguin in the sunglasses and red beret for the WIN!
ReplyDeleteAh yes, that's Little Bob; he's a massive Francophile. He's sampling trendy beak-blush at Guerlain.
DeleteThe wombat was once mistaken by a hotel doorman as a beaver, he was on vacation with us. We have taken little Bob and his sunglasses to France a couple of times.
ReplyDeleteSweet!
ReplyDeleteOne cannot have too many stuffed penguins.
ReplyDelete👍👍👍
DeleteHmm, have I told you about Sparky? My jackalope that rides in my new Subaru (nicknamed Sparky's Ride)
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, do go on. This is news to me.
