Do you have any pets/animals?
What pets do you have?
I have an elderly Lurcher,she was a rescue dog from the RSPCA,started off with a big attitude problem but is now the most mellow dog ever.
Also a King Charles Cavalier/Shitzu cross,which is rather camp,but he's ok really.
3 cats,1 14 year old fluffy white Burman,a totoiseshell and a white one.
2 geese,now 6 months old and HUGE buggers!
2 guinnea pigs that the missus got one day when I was at work despite me saying that I don't want them
And they all get along swimmingly,although the Geese are boss!

Re: Do you have any pets/animals?
Not at present, as I'm not in a position to keep one. My parents kept a cat, who arrived as a stray kitten, nearly twenty years ago. As they live behind our shop, I spend a lot of time there and I was as much one of Meg's "Slaves" as my parents Meg died about four years ago and somehow she seems irreplaceable.
That said if another stray turned up A couple of years before Meg arrived, our elderley Staffordshire Bull Terrier died and we said that was it.

Re: Do you have any pets/animals?
We have a West Highland Terrier named Tasha, she was badly abused by her previous owner and ended up abandoned. We had her from the dogs trust earlier this year and I'm pleased to say she is doing well and now enjoys being spoiled on a daily basis. Some really small minded people out there who abuse animals

When I hear about people like that, who abuse animals, I am reminded of the words of my old history teacher. Sometime around 1979/80 he told us (When speaking of the Holocaust) "There are people in this country today, who would do the same thing". If it were left to me, such people would be treated in the same way as people like Rudolf Höss.

Re: Do you have any pets/animals?
There are two "sheep dogs" on the farm, Jessie who is scared of sheep but likes trying to round up chickens and Pip who was bought as a sheep dog but my other half's nephews have adopted as a pet. I keep trying to persuade Heather that we need a dog but so far no luck.
Other than that there are 150 cows, lots of sheep, 32 hens of various breeds, 12 geese, 2 pigs, bats in the milkshed and at least 2 mice that i saw in the garden yesterday

Re: Do you have any pets/animals?
I cycle past a farm on the way to work. It’s at the top of a valley and at the bottom of a forestry track (Which leads to another dead end tarmac road, at the top of “My” valley). There are several sheepdogs there, seemingly under the command of a terrier called Russ (Who apparently likes watching sport and “Nature” programmes on TV). Russ likes to say hello and have some fuss, as does Bob, an older dog, Donald, who has cataracts and Fletcher, a younger sheepdog, who seems to be a slightly different breed. Merc & Glen are more timid.TerryG wrote:There are two "sheep dogs" on the farm, Jessie who is scared of sheep but likes trying to round up chickens and Pip who was bought as a sheep dog but my other half's nephews have adopted as a pet.

Russ likes riding in the farmer's 4WD and a few weeks ago, the farmer was going to collect some sheep and Russ had tried to jump into the vehicle. The farmer had quickly put Russ into the cab of the tractor. He happened to see me when I was on my way home and he asked me to let Russ out of the tractor!!!
Nearer home are two King Charles Spaniels, one of whom wears a pink collar. She often comes out to say hello!!
