Haha, I've always liked bulldogs. I tried to take a high school friend's bulldog swimming in her pool one time and it didn't work out so well. The bulldog was perfectly fine, but when it jumped in the pool it sank like a stone.

My pig (Squeak) not only loved belly scratching, but if I opened a beer, I'd immediately hear hooves pounding my way. That pig absolutely loved beer and if I let him get into the whiskey, he'd run all around the house and the yard. Pigs can run a lot faster that you'd think, because most of the time they're so lazy. They're also really, really strong for their size. Once I came home and he'd busted open a section of the concrete balcony and bent a piece of rebar up and was suckling on it. If he wanted his head scratched and I wasn't paying attention to him, he'd scoop my foot up with his snout and start rubbing his head on the bottom of my foot until I took over.

I would love to live in a place where I could have a bunch of animal pals! Unfortunately, that's (obviously) a downside to living in a place with lots of people around. I figured out that what I call "farm smell" is mostly pig and cow pee, but somehow if it's my animal, then it's perfectly ok by me.

If your fantasy farm happens, then I would most definitely visit if I could hang out with some animals.
