Well, face it...if there are any Klanimals, they're gonna be sheep.

I raised Fido since she was a hatchling, and her mate Spot died a few years ago. I named them the way I did because Leos are really sweet-natured; Fido and Spot would run over and lick my hand if I stuck it in the enclosure.

Fido was always a bit of a dullard when it came to procreation, though. I desperately wanted to keep and incubate some of her eggs, but she was either stupid or not inclined to be a parent. She would always lay her eggs (2 at a time) in the wee hours of the morning in an inhospitable place, directly under a too-hot-for-eggs heatlamp or in a water dish or something. By the time I got to them in the morning, it was always too late.

Most of my animals way outlive their calculated lifespan, heh. I have a cockatiel who's ancient and bald and mean; before his ankle-band fell off we're fairly sure it said 1974 or 75. His cage-mate (band said 1981) died a couple of years ago.
