Small Talk Six ~ Animal Kingdom
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!
That little potbelly is cute!
For the dog I want a Weimaraner though! I just love their eyes.
Great list.

Great list , I think the great dane is bigger then the mini horse ! LOL
OMG that turtle is so cute!
I’d love a tortoise too if they’d stay that cute and small.
What a great picture of a turtle you found. My husband had one as a pet when we were dating. It’s true that they grow to their environment. He kept changing the Aquarium and that turtle just kept growing.
I just had to tear up when I saw the last one. We lost our Great Dane last March and it was really hard. She was by far the best pet I’ve ever owned. She only lived 5 yrs then got bloat and died. That miniature horse and turtle sure are cute!
Sulcatas are on my list too!!!! We used to have 2! They’re awesome! Great List!!
Great List! That is SUCH a cute picture of a tortoise!
We used to have a turkey-he would chase cars and gobble when he heard a cat. He was so funny and random! Love your list!
What a cute little tortoise! That’s a fun list!
Pot belly pigs are cute. Not sure there is a huge difference between the miniature horse and great Dane
That pig is adorable. I love your list except for a turkey. The town where my husband is from in NC is our state’s largest turkey producer. I swear that is the stinkiest place I have ever encountered in my life. A good thing we live four hours away from there. So no turkeys for me due to the smell. BTW Love the addition of the three monkeys to your three monkeys in the header. Super adorable. : )
On my list? A hairless cat–what would it feel like to pet one of those things? Would I have to keep sweaters on it in the winter and rub sunscreen on it in the summer???
I have always wanted a Great Dane too….and for the same reason as you I have never gotten one…I just need more time than 8 short years….snakes on the other hand…can’t do they remind me of big worms…eeewww!
