WHEN Johnie the croc wants walkies, her owner makes it snappy.

Johnie - a female - rules the roost at the Lowing home.

Her favourite time of the day is meal time, the Herald Sun reports.

"She's just like a cat or dog in that she knows when the fridge door opens there is a good chance of a snack, so she shuffles in for a feed," Vicki Lowing said.

Chicken wings are her favourite, along with whiting and red meat.

Ms Lowing said her son Andrew, 15, and Johnie, 13, experienced sibling rivalry.

"Sometimes Andrew goes to have a shower after school and Johnie's already in there and not keen to share the space," she said.

Andrew turns on the cold water tap and watches the cranky croc beat it....

They think of Johnie as “family.”

One day Johnie is going to think of the family as “lunch.”

This will all end in tears.

[Frantzie]

LOL! These people are insane. I could see an alligator but crocs are mean as he*ll.

[dfwgator]

Yep, that’s what happens when you voluntarily give up your spot at the top of the food chain.

[Ramius]

This will end badly.

[Gator113]

They should have gone with a Gator, we are much more friendly and we don’t mind sharing the shower.

[MarMema]

It will. Someone needs to pull those kids outta there before they end up as a meal.

[MarMema]

Oh wait, one kid apparently. Sibling rivalry with the croc?

This woman has gone round the bend.

True stupidity is like a force of nature or a train wreck, it has a unstoppable quality to it. All a person can do is stand in awe.

[Pinetop]

The fact that the croc is cranky and barricades the bathroom is like a gun in the first act of a play. Foreshadowing....dumb de dumb dumb

The moonbat and her spawn will be lunch inside of a year. Bank on it.

How big is this thing liable to get? I mean, is it like a pygmy croc or one that’ll grow to human-eating size ?

[JoeProBono]

[Ready4Freddy]

You don't understand, my pit bull crocodile wouldn't hurt a flea!

[Ready4Freddy]

I mean, is it like a pygmy croc ...

Fluffy already looks big enough to pygmy yo' azz.

Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can’t get friendly with a crocodile
Don’t be taken in by his welcome grin
He’s imagining how well you’d fit within his skin.

Never smile at a crocodile
Never tip your hat and stop to talk a while
Never run, walk away
Say “Good night” not “Good day”
Clear the aisle and never smile at Mister Crocodile.

You may very well be well-bred
Lots of etiquette in your head
But there’s always some special case
Time or place to forget etiquette...

Clear the aisle and never smile at Mister Crocodile.

Looks like a “freshie”. Rather docile as far as crocodilian go. But I still would not want one as a pet. Though it will keep the cat population to a minimum which is always a good thing.

Never smile at a crocodile

[Jeff Chandler]

It’s not the croc, it’s how you raise it.

[Jeff Chandler]

Someday the neighbor’s pet chimpanzee is going to rip that croc’s face off.

[Ready4Freddy]

But of course! lol

[AlligatorEyes]

HORSE HOCKEY!

I don’t share my shower with anyone. (Except maybe Ms Eyes)

When I was about 10, our neighbor bought a little 10 or 12 inch long alligator for a pet. Through the years, his 'digs' changed, but always in their little back yard on Edenfield in Covina.

Eventually, they sold him. Whenever you see the Lubriderm commercials, say "HI" to 'Allie'.
