Pets Gone Wild!

Woe the city animal: Stuck in an apartment and surrounded by humans, far from anything even remotely resembling the great wide open. What’s a lonely mammal/rodent/reptile to do? Same as the lonely human, apparently: Craigslist. From an anonymous poster in Boston:

I have a very special red-eared slider who recently "became a man," as they say. He deserves everything his little heart desires so I'm kind of hoping someone out there has a female turtle that . . . you know, needs a little something extra. ... That being said, my turtle doesn't need any baby momma drama and since he's pretty young in turtle years, I doubt he's ready to commit to anything exclusive or long-term.

Also, if you have a male shitzu, someone in Cambridge has a female shitzu ready for action. If more of this stuff starts showing up on Craigslist, I may start to wonder who’s looking for a romantic rendezvous -- pet, or owner?
