Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Or how about a pig,chicken,duck,birds,gerbils,cow,horse,donkey, etc. so many wonderful herbivores in our world that make wonderful pets depending on your location and space. Friends who live in city apartments have intelligent bird pets, and friends and family who live in the country have larger animals . My son and family adopted a donkey that was in danger of being put down. She has brought much happiness to them for years and they have in turn given her a good life. My brother has horses. Who doesn't love gerbils and guinea pigs? My children had a rabbit when they were small. I do not have a dog or cat as a pet because , bless their hearts they are carnivors and I couldn't bear feeding them ground horse flesh.

The lower canine teeth (popularly called stomach teeth) are placed nearer the middle line than the upper, so that their summits correspond to the intervals between the upper canines and the lateral incisors.
