My dream come true!
As a child, I wanted a fox for my birthday. Every single year I asked for one but never got a fox.
Then I began to ask for a dog, preferably a black / white poodle (bad child choices), still nothing.
The goat I could understand. But surely, the fox? But my mother told me they smelled and that was it. Never got a fox. Never got a dog. I resorted to fisheses (just think Gollem voice). Worked. The imposed guinea pig (story), mice (story), snails & squirrels followed later.
