Mammals and birds

Lately Grace and I have had some interesting conversations after she gets home from school.  Conversations like this. 

Momma, mammals have fur.  And birds have feathers!
Wow, Grace, that's right.  Is Chloe a mammal?

Chloe's a puppy dog! 
Right.  But are dogs mammals or birds?

Dogs don't have feathers!  Dogs have fur!
That's right.  Does that make a dog a mammal or a bird?

A mammal silly!  Dogs are mammals!  I like dogs.
I like dogs, too.

And birds!  I like a hawk.  Can I have a hawk?
Um, no.  Defintely not a hawk.
