Hi I live with Wife (to be) and our two friends Jack a flatcoated retriver/collie cross and Scuzzie a beige Chinchilla. They both have their own personallities and I dare anyone (of the Desmond Morris brigade) to tell me that aminals only work on instinct and emotion . Jack loves to go out in the car so that he can go Motor bike spotting.I also truly belive that if you take what an animal does as well as what he says (jack can say some english words if you listen) they have language. Call me crazy but thats just me Dave
