Monday, February 19, 2007Just What I'm In the Market ForI was perusing the classifieds in our local, weekly newspaper on Sunday morning -- a sure sign that I was desperate for something to read. There, in the "Other Pets" section, I discovered an ad for two female zebras, $3000 each, and one three-week-old camel. Now. I've seen goats running around in people's yards and I've seen llamas sharing grazing space with horses on my way to Brentwood. But...a camel? Zebras? If someone can explain to me why anyone would want to privately own a camel or two zebras, I'm all ears. That was too weird. And now I'm off to continue my Writerly Pursuits, with a promise to blog about something other than zebras tomorrow. Labels: life |

3of my readers are feeling chatty:
dont really know about the camel, BUT you can breed a zebra and a horse and you get a ZORSE. they are considered exotic and you can get pretty decent money for them.
They would make great talking points dont you think? :)
"Freddy's doing great in school, and... oh, did you see the Zebra?"
"No, camel spit isn't toxic, don't worry."
"Look Martha, an escaped convict!"
That's a Zebra you moron, put on your glasses!"
We see one zebra when we travel to Michigan on a roadside farm that has horses and other various animals. It's not that uncommon.
