Colin Boutty's Pet memories
Ginger Hodnutt had a young alligator in BG. It attacked a pet otter which someone else had, but I can't remember who. The same otter attacked Joe's Nelson the parrot, and that's why it finished up with only one eye, and a broken leg. All that after having its wings clipped to stop it flying away!
During my time in BG, I had an Armadillo which crapped all over the place, so I got rid of it, then I had a three toed sloth, which I used to stick on a tree while working. It was too slow to escape. I can't remember what happened to that, I think one of the locals ate it!
The cat of mad Campbell's was a young ,Oceot (small tiger) he threw it in the swimming pool in Georgetown, and it took the locals about three seconds to get out!!

 

Dave Yarnalls Pet Memories
In BG I had two, one was an armadillo called Gearing until he burrowed down into the ground and WE couldn't pull it back out, also a sacawinkie, ( I think thats how it is spelt) called Little Barstward and Alun Williams 69,(Mad Willie) had a baby alligator when we were on the ferry to somewhere or other that he was quite fond of until it attatched itself to his finger when he pointed at it, called Little F******r and the he threw it back into the river when it detatched itself.
