    A partner

    Okay... I got this from a neurologist.
    First. Think of your favourite animal, any animal. Now list five reasons why this is your favourite animal....
    I will, at some indefinite later point write what this means.. can't say it yet because it would spoil everything...
    Cheers!

    they are lazy yet sharply alert, soft yet fluid & precisely coordinated (yes that was 1 answer!)
    they are regal
    they bestow themselves upon us
    they have mesmerizing eyes
    they like to rub against my legs and purr so that i will pet them for hours

    Monkeys

    Clever
    Capable
    Physically strong
    Deep, intelligent eyes
    Sense of humour (or at least they do like they have great sense of humour)

    Some say monkeys are ugly but I find their 'ugliness' cute... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they said.

    Requires little attention
    Quiet
    Cheap
    Easily replaced
    Easy to dispose of when it dies

    Who put too much wine in his stew
    He felt a bit drunk
    And fell off his bunk
    And landed smack into his shoe

    Hey hey hey, wait, does this "partner" thing have anything to do with this?

    Well, I don't *really* have a favourite animal, I like all animals, but I do have some favouriteS.

    Squirrel. (Bet none of you could have guessed.)
    Cute, perky ears,
    small, scampering,
    nut-loving,
    lightning-fast,
    adorable;
    would make a great pet.

    Sadly we don't have any squirrels in Australia...

    Sugar glider.

    (Also called squirrel glider...)

    Beautiful beady black big eyes that glint in the moonlight
    shy little mouth and pink nose
    oh-so-soft grey fur
    folds of membraneous skin used to fly with (glide with)...
    creature of the night.

    Of course, all other sorts, too, like feather-tailed gliders, and possums as well though they're not as small, they're as cute...

    Monkey.

    Playful, mischievous
    full of life,
    darting from branch to branch,
    cute, furry,
    intelligent.

    I especially like squirrel monkeys...hmmm....is there a connection...

    .... that's hilarious, because invariably they are going to say something about that describing your perfect mate.

    right. Now according to this very intelligent neurologist (he really is a smart fellow) those five qualities, are exactly what we are searching for in a partner. (as some of you, incredibly smart people have undoubtedly guessed already) so, please do, go look at your pets with new astounded eyes....
