Especially if it has a fondness for destroying toy trains and goes crazy whenever French is spoken.

Depends on whether they're alive or not, innit?

Depends on the species actually... way back, before I was even born, my Dad had an oscar that would let him pet it.

And I used to have some large comet goldfish that would rub up against my fingers when I was cleaning anything in their tank. They also would take dried krill out of my fingers.

Now I have three large comet goldfish... they don't do the petting thing, but they do do the krill thing heh.

Oh, lordy lord, I've missed the Glurge Gallery. Been gone way too long. (And yes, I had the same image, too.)
