Woohoo! I just noticed that I'm not a "newbie" anymore! Break out the champagne!
Fitzwilly, I appreciate your opinion on this. Have you used animals in your shows? My personal opinion is that it adds an exciting dimension to a show but that it is definitely a hassle. I wouldn't have done it if I thought it was stressful or harmful to my critters, but I sure would hate for a PETA activist to dump paint on my rabbit wringer or circus wagon! I don't know if I'll attempt the rabbit tricks again or not. Maybe.
And I beg to differ regarding your comment on animals not being on the same level as atomic scientists. I have a cat who I occasionally dress up in a checkered bikini and/or clown hat & ruffle, and I suspect he IS a kitty Einstein. (he's definitely smarter than most politicians -- I think he's a "DemoCAT.")
