Pets. What you got?

We got 2 black cats, one's 19 and looks like it's dead. Affectionately known as the "ghost cat", Chalkie is it's original name (I wanted Snowy but Mrs VV wouldn't have it). The other's about 12, inherited with the house and totally unremarkable.

We got a tank full of tropical fish - nothing fancy just some guppies, silver sharks, clown loaches, neons.

And 3 hens named after dead grandmothers - Edie, Cicely and Eva.

Whatya got then?? Huh??

Rosie (who's tiny & 12) & Guinness (who isn't & is responsible for more typos in this house than anything else) He was actually described by the vet as "the biggest cat I've ever seen that's not overweight"

Zero interest in pets. I wouldn't say no to having a nice pond in the back garden at some point though.

2 cats here. Derek whos nearly two and Moses who is 4 and is actually a female with a male name lol.

I must sound right religious when I say I have a cat called Moses but she was called that when we got her and I didnt want to confuse her by calling it something else.

I've got a dog called Daisy. She is a King Charles Cavalier and her Mom (I think it was...or her her grandad lol) was a Crufts champion, so she was bread to enter as well, but the breeder reckoned her jaw wasn't going to develop properly or something!!

I'll attach a pic shortly.

Here is mine, the black Cocker called Monty.

The retriever is a Woofability dog, they are trained to become assistance dogs for the disabled (wheelchair bound).

We are socialisers, who look after a dog for up to a month and take him out in the world and also train him. We take them shopping, Tescos etc., in hospitals, schools, anywhere that a disabled person may go. Their training includes taking socks off, picking up the phone when it rings, pulling washing out of the machine, picking up dropped credit cards etc.

They are fully trained when they reach about two years old.

It is extremely rewarding! :D

That's spot on! They ARE totally soppy. They are proper characters. Some of the faces they pull are almost human. That sounds silly but they are really clever. They are also very powerful but also prone to allergies etc...

Ain't that the truth ? :p ;) :DNo way! Well, OK, I agree with the 'loon' part.... but SOPPY! No. Can't stand the man!

My grandmother - who was an incredibly warm and generous woman, who never had a bad word to say about anyone, and always found something good to say about people, and never showed any interest in boxing once said to me something along the lines of "Eubank's is boxing today, isn't he?.... ...Good. I'd like to see him beaten up. Horrible man" :eek: Really shocked me at the time because it was so wrong coming from my nan!

Anyway, sorry for going off topic. :)


They are also very powerful...Ain't that the truth! My neighbour had one when I was growing up. If he was out being walked and I was up the other end of the street, when he'd see me, he'd come bounding up the road and jump up to put his front paws on my shoulder. I lost count how many times I ended up on the floor

:lol:

No pets as such, but I have taken an interest recently in supporting local wildlife, which mainly consists of birds.

As a consequence of that, I have a slight dislike of cats, so keeping them out of my garden is another hobby :D
