reading the last two posts has reminded me that some years ago....when I lived in Caversham (nr. the Thames in Reading) there was a bloke who used to walk his goat on a rope down to the local shops and back home again...now I come to think of it ...he lived in a road that backed onto allotments....so maybe he kept it there.....we all got used to seeing it about..and his companion who walked with them  ::) also....when I lived for a while in North Essex (Nr. Saffron Walden)...the two children next door to me used to walk their ferrets on leashes.....nothing really surprises me anymore....altho chickens....that probably does!! ??? H.P.

I remember years ago my Dad coming back from the pub saying he'd seen a bloke walking an elephant - we didn't believe him of course - until we later saw that the circus was in town.
My wife has often reported to me that she sees a bloke near her work walking his massive pot-bellied pig. :o

i once took a ferret for a walk on a lead in 8" deep snow - that was hilarious - it loved it, he had to jump!
