Pets

What was the name of your favorite pet? Why was it your favorite?

I am not sure we had my favorite pet long enough to name it! It was a coatimundi or pisote.

It is in the raccoon family, looks like a ant eater and has hands and personality like a monkey.

He would open up containers we gave to him. He would spread talcum, toothpaste, or perfume all over his tail! He had a fascination with dresses or skirts. Forty some years ago when we lived in Guatemala the women did not wear slacks. Every time we had a guest come over the pisote would run up to the woman, grab her skirt or dress and stand up with it!!!!!! Well that did not go over well in the home of two missionaries so my dad gave it away not too long after we got it!!!!
