Something beginning with G
Maggie is starting a (low-key) campaign for a pet. What about a cat? she asked, hopefully. I would love a cat – in fact I hate not having one – but am scared after losing one on the road that it would happen again. We have barky dogs on all three sides of our back garden so any peace-loving cat is bound to venture forwards, and the cars come awfully fast along our bit of (30 mph) road. She thought about that. Well, what about a goldfish? I don’t think they like roads. Yes, fish are nice but you can’t cuddle a fish, can you (for some reason she found this hilariously funny). If I’m having a pet I’d like to be able to cuddle it.
She thought some more. OK then, how about a goat or a gecko?
So there we are. A goat or a gecko it is.

I must admit, I LOVED my leopard geckos; great fun to watch, very cheap to keep, and mine would happily sit on your shoulder while you wandered around and did the washing up (which I did ALL the time, of course). However, if geckos aren’t your idea of cuddly (what is wrong with you?) then maybe a hamster? My hamster, Bernard, provided me with much entertainment and joy in the 3 1/2 years I had him. He did a great Gladiator impersonation…

It has to be a Goat… Preferably female.
Think of it as a milk & manure producing lawn mower!
