Like most of us, I guess I'm writing from that sideways part of the multiverse, adjacent to Thursday's world but where regenerated Dodos have yet to make an appearance. This being said, may I put in a possible contender for the post of 'pet Dodo' based on animals we do, at present, have living?
Okay, so I'm biased as I have two of them but my firm favourite is not, as might be expected, ducks (although they do come a close second) but that most fascinating of lagomorphs - THE HOUSE RABBIT!!!
Everything I've learned about house dodos in the TN books could apply to my two - right up to the plook plook noises they make, their need for human affection and the preoccupation with carrier bags full of food.
That's all I'm saying on the subject - but surely there must be more of us out there? Come on, house rabbit fans - your 'dodoesque' stories please! Preferably post-veterinary visit cos, let's face it, things CAN be a little one-dimensional in their dear little brains up to that point.
P.S Here's an interesting fact - my male Dutch, Bilbo, will eat ANYTHING bakery related: hobnobs, carrot and banana cake, victoria sponge, chocolate digestives ... anything - and I mean this - but Battenburg. Even the 'Special' range from Waitrose.
S'true.
Freaky.
