Petyak Pet Pygmy Rhino

My brother and I were talking about wild animal pets this morning, and the following comment ensued ...
ryan: new favorite animal

WOW

me: haha

ryan: no more french bulldog

... christy and i are gettting a pygmy rhino

we will never have to worry about someone breaking in

that horn

wow

First of all, Ryan, you are NUTS.

But for fun I had to see what his finance would say. So, copy, paste, presto, change-o, I sent the IM conversation to Christy and her response had me laughing out loud at my desk. So of course, after asking her permission, I had to share! :)

(Caption for photo Creator Comments: After years of genetic engineering and testing, the first Pygmy Rhino to survive to adulthood was received last month by construction magnate J.T. Smith. The project of creating a "pet" rhinoceros was a massive undertaking by many of the world's leading minds and was financed solely by the eclectic Mr. Smith himself. "I hope to have many of the earth's large beasts recreated in this manner," said Smith. "It is my dream for every household that wants one to someday have one. I'd like to see the boring pets of today replaced by these breakthrough wonders of science and technology. These are the dogs and cats of tomorrow.")

The happy couple (minus the pet rhino or french bulldog)
