Mushu sounds like an absolute sweetheart, venturing into the pugs' territory and cozying up in their beds. The pugs' indifference is probably the most adorable thing ever – the ultimate interspecies sitcom!

It's impressive that you embraced being a reptile parent for Samantha's sake, and it's heartening to hear that Mushu has turned out to be a delightful addition to the family. Being funny, sweet, and not biting? Mushu sure knows how to steal hearts! And of course, a little spoiling never hurt anyone!

I have an imaginary Emotional Support Zebra.

Of domestic animals, dogs of course. Though I do like cats as well. While if that seems boring, I am sorry, but the fact that both are commonplace creatures proves just how well they fit within human society, and fill human needs. And I long ago, came to think that the lust for novelty, was childish, with real importance, happiness and value being best found in appreciation of the commonplace.

Birds, as the most attractive of the wild creatures I see in my own country every day. Though squirrels come a close second.

And orangutans, as my bucket list creatures, who I would love to see one day. Because they are the underdogs of the great apes. Often in the shadow of the African apes, who get prominence just because those are more closely related to us. While in fact orangutans may be the most wise and intelligent of them all. It does not follow that being like humans means better.

Fish, because they're very easy to take care of.
Otters, because they have fun.
