*chuckles* Actually, Zanny did have a couple of pets as a kid. Haven't defined all of that part of ehr life yet, but she did have a kind of dog-sized furry lizard thing that was essentially her world's version of a doberman at one point. There's even a picture of the thing somewhere in my files, but I don't think it's among the pics I have scanned. Given that I never throw out even my crappy old art from high school, I probably still have it somewhere.
