I ended up with a new puppy, whon I tagged with the name 'Piper'. A gold lab/black lab X oddly enough from someone who was trying to breed chocolate labs, but without any knowledge of genetics obviously. Piper however was too cute to resist and came home with me. My llama however had a FIT when he saw the pup. He stomped back and forth, making a braying noise like a donkey. Now he is sulking and refusing to come up to the house. The ferret, 'Mako' however only conciders Piper a springboard to bounce off of after he let the dog know he wasn't a chew toy by nipping his ear. The sugar gliders chased the pup behind the couch when they were out excercising. Poor Piper, a puppy, has found himself on the bottom of the pecking order of a bunch of exotics. Bell (the Llama) - ARGH! ITS AN EVIL DOG! TAKE IT AWAY! Twit and Syndy (sugar gliders) - Kewl! A puppy! Lets chase it! Mako (the ferret) - (CHOMP!) I am NOT a chew toy, you fleabag.. Piper - Nobody wuvs me....What? The two-legger has a rawhide chewie!
