I no longer have him, but at the time, he was my best pet ever. I take some solace in, knowing he's probably just a stone's throw away. 🙂↕ His name was Sir Rocks-A-Lot I don't believe that was his real name, but that's what I called him. We had a rocky relationship, but I always knew we would boulder through. He was always my rock in hard times.
We had a watch goose for a few years. My youngest son took it to a pet fair at his school on a weekend., walking it on a leash. Until it saw all the dogs. At which point it climbed into my arms for security, pooping down the shirt and pants. The Principal took mercy and gave my son a ribbon for Most Unusual Pet before judging even started so we could get the heck out of there.
@LordShadowfire It was a baby one, hardly capable of flying and injured, and it kept getting attacked by an adult one. Without intervention it would've probably been killed, so it was temporarily brought inside until a rehabber came to pick it up.
Technically the question mentions pets, I just noticed, so this doesn't strictly qualify, but it's for sure the most unconventional animal to cross the perimeter of my house lol
@Elessar I'm going to go ahead and count it, and amend my answer to include the baby alligator my parents brought into the house when I was 2 years old. They found it in the backyard, and knew that it wasn't native to Portland, so they put it in the kitchen sink and called animal control, who as I understand it determined it was somebody's illegal pet, and took it to a rehab facility.
