A celebration of family pets.
I have a dog called Sausage.
He likes to lay and listen to me practise. When I play in the high register he likes to join in with a howl. I guess that's the old wolf instinct coming out. Sausage is a good companion who doesn't need a lot of long walks. Some days I just walk him to the letterbox and back. Sausage likes his food. He's happy to eat anything. He sleeps a lot. What more could you ask for in a pet? Have any of you guys got pets you love? Maybe you could tell us about it here. |

I don't actually have a pet. If I did I'd choose a Tuatara. The Tuatara looks like a lizard, but is not. It is a reptile. They grow to be very old, like double basses. That is why I like them.

Just a fan. Doesn't Participate (Howl)

I thought you'd be more curious about why we called him Byron.
Now that's a real story! |

Why did you call your dog Byron? |

I do like to be original. Then I remembered George Gordon Byron. It was a toss up between George and Byron. The only fair way was to decide with the toss of a coin, heads for George and tails for Byron. Tails it was. Ah Sausage, you Walk in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies. |
I liked that story Terry.
Sausage sounds like a special dog. Makes me wish I had a pet. When I was young we had a few chickens. The trouble with choosing a pet is that you don't want one you might finish up eating. I got quite attached to those chickens but my family and I ate them in the end. I think that's why I've never had a pet since. |
While I don't relish the thought of eating Sausage (the dog, not the thing you eat with chips), who knows what would go through my mind, say after some huge disaster, if I hadn't eaten for a month?

When I was in Korea I would get sausages that I wasn't sure what meat they were; tasted great with the local relish though. Seems like we've been here before.

Well Thomas, it looks like you and I are the only two people around here with pets. Can your dogs do tricks? Sausage once found my prize bass bow and carried it through the house like a bone. Fortunately he didn't whack it against any doors! He was trimmer, and quite a bit faster, then. It took a bit of effort to catch up with him.

I've bought a bowl for him to live in. He seems happy and looks at me quite frequently. I feed him food from a packet. When he looks at me I wonder if he thinks I am Allah? |
