  4. Interestingly, eating cute critters (and their offspring) is the topic of the current post on http://mountaindweller.com/. (It's lambing season in the low Alps.)

  5. I don't think we can have lambs in the city limits . . . and I'm not sure how we would incorporate an Alps feature into the yard . . .

  7. Excellent! We will need surplus populations to colonize future conquests! And in the meantime, you can make a fortune off the Chinese. Heh, heh, heh, our plan to overrun them is working out perfectly!

  9. A hamster ranch... interesting. Do you think direct marketing would work for that too?

  10. It could. According to the BBC, in China, hamster prices are soaring and demand is unabated - since it's the year of the rat. Apparently the Chinese find the hamster more appealing than its larger, long-tailed cousin. And who would disagree? And I'm certain hamsters and sheep play well together.
