Remember when the house was kind of like a hippy commune?
With fields (ok a small corner) of vegetable garden and a hutch where the housemates had to lovingly look after the BB animals.
marjorie... cluck, cluck, cluck, here marjorie...
Ok, maybe my memory rose tints over the fact it was sometimes sooo annoying watching the housemates run around after chickens... but it did give them something to do and gave us something to watch too.
Like when they gave the housemates the virtual babies Juanita and the other

to look after, waking them up in the middle of the night to have them complete some kind of random task.
How sucessful would introducing pets of somekind back into the house be? A pen of vietnamese pot bellied pigs maybe??? An online virtual pet chinchilla perhaps??? A radio controlled dog to annoy and pester the captives???
Or am I barking

up the wrong tree
