Just one, he has just turned 80, has a lovely head of hair which I stroke and ruffle and is trained to bring me tea and breakfast in bed. He takes himself for a walk and doesn’t spill water, etc on the floor and the bonus is I don’t have to stock pile poo bags.
1 crazy cocker spaniel (working strain) ?, 1 ungrateful unplayful little wretch of a budgie ?, and some fish in our pond (mostly goldfish and shubunkins with 1 golden orfe who looks like he is on his last fins?!) But he is hanging in there. We had 2 but one died a few weeks ago. I do love pets. The house seems so empty without them.
2 cats,sisters called Belle and Rosie .They own us and we are required to feed them gourmet cat food and treats when they miaow pathetically at us.Also required are free laps in the evenings and one of us to open the door when the decide to come home ,walk through the house and out the back door ,a dozen times a day .In return they bring a lot of fun and entertainment
We have recently been ‘adopted’ by a stray, who turned up in our garden and stared piteously into our kitchen. He was an un-chipped, un-neutered tom and we took him into our household in December.
We never intended to be a three cat house, but what can you do ... ? ???
We have four lovely Labradors, they live in a custom made run in the garden as they are working dogs. We have always had labs and shed many a tear when they go, to think I have this to come at least four more times, but would not be without them.
Just one much loved black cat,( my whole family love him,hes so laid- back with the GC) hes nrly 13 and has grown up with my youngest(nrly 17) He's lovely,but always has to have the last meow(the cat,i mean?)when we go away we get a lady in whose job it is to visit homes& feed/water/clean up after cats.shes been visiting my cat for about 10 yrs now,so loves him.I wouldnt get another cat after him though.hes a hard act to follow.?
2 - 1 dog, Emma, rescue, 14.5 years old very fit and active- Jack Russel type but on longer legs and body. And 1 cat, Minou 3 legs - rescue found with leg hanging off, now amputated. About 3.5 years old- ragdoll.
My eldest daughter has had a cat about 16 yrs,but also keeps getting other various pets,(cats,dogs,Guinea pigs,etc) that don't seem to stay very long?we call her the 'pet- giver away-er'?
None - I have always had dogs but last one died before I had my stroke - I couldn't cope with one now, but love my sister's. Also love going away, which is less problematic with no pets.
