"Puggle"
is the term for a baby monotreme. That is, an egg-laying mammal, like an Echidna or Platypus.






I want a puggle.

4. I saw a platypus
in a zoo once. I was disappointed with how small it was.

They're only about 10 inches long. I guess I was hoping for crocodile-size.

8. but then you would have had to run away!
I don't think they were ever very large.


I saw a really bad kid's cartoon that explained how the platypus came to be. It was the most bizarre cartoon I had ever seen. Can't remember the name of it.

9. True.
I used to know an extremely hyper Puggle. Adorable, affectionate, totally unable to ever calm the hell down.

6. The story of the Puggle
There was one of these stores in a local mall many years ago. My kids loved their stuffed animals.
