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....

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 ?

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.

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

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

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'.
