Title: Animals and pets in the Beach Boys universe Post by: CenturyDeprived on May 18, 2015, 12:50:19 PM What pets were the BBs known to have had over the years, and what do we know about them?
What were there lifespans, and were they found on the streets or acquired from stores/shelters? Spayed/neutered or not? Could Brian have turned a dog cone collar into a percussive musical instrument during the SMiLE era? Some that come to mind: -Banana and Louie -Carl Wilson's Irish Setter, Shannon -Was Wrinkles an actual dog? -The goats/camels/etc on the Pet Sounds LP cover -Murry's mynah bird Title: Re: Animals and pets in the Beach Boys universe Post by: Mendota Heights on May 18, 2015, 01:24:44 PM Stuffed koala bear in County Fair.

I've always liked this story. Title: Re: Animals and pets in the Beach Boys universe Post by: ash on May 18, 2015, 02:21:13 PM In an interview in the 90s for a British mag (?) which focused on the Paley/Wilson sessions and Mike's Brit fag attack on High Lama Sean, Brian mentioned that he had once had monkeys and they threw tihS everywhere. Wish i could find that mag...it was a classic Brianism.

Henry Gross had an Irish Setter with the same name.

Link to a thread or article about it? (http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/llama-670x433.jpg) The llama stole Mike's hat. Mike sued.

Only because Al got bored. And he likes animals all the same.Title: Re: Animals and pets in the Beach Boys universe Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 19, 2015, 10:24:25 AM Also, there was a cute picture of Al holding koala as baby.
Title: Re: Animals and pets in the Beach Boys universe Post by: metal flake paint on May 20, 2015, 01:31:36 AM Dennis once owned an Asian otter in the mid-sixties which he trained and tamed to be friendly.

Wish i could find that mag...it was a classic Brianism. I'm sure this was Uncut which had the picture of Brian on a piano in just his swimming trunks on the front cover. I have this at home so could scan it into the media section tomorrow if anyone is interested. I've just finished the Scott Wilson book and he said that their home became a zoo as Dennis would bring back animals every time he went fishing. He also mentioned they had a monkey that Dennis put in a nappy and two otters, one of which escaped from the house and hid under the bonnet of Dennis' car. You can imagine what happened the following morning and the remaining otter was taken to the zoo as it stopped eating.
