Here’s my other
how beautiful he is! 
what breed of cat is it?
Toppy the Bernese mountain dog
I thought you’d never ask! (It’s like asking to see pics of someone’s grandchildren - how long have you got? 
)
Our little girl and an ornament lookalike!
She will have been dead one year next week and how we miss her.
You all have some beautiful pets, enjoying the photos.
Milo and Ripley. Brother and sister who are now 10 years old.
Not forgetting the little grandcat, Willow.
This is Cookie, our “grandcat”. (DD’s).
This is our rascal Ruby. She has brought much joy to us since we “rescued” her.
We have always had cocker spaniels, but since the last one died we have just had cats. China Doll is what we call, our divorce settlement. The young couple, who used to live next door, split up. They argued over everything, even their cat. In the end they agreed that rather than uproot her, once their house was sold, we could have her. The breed is known as a Birman.
Well you can't have one, can you, so after depleting the bank account, Little Latin Lupe Lou arrived. But you can call her Lulu. There's two more, but I can't find their photos at present, I'll come back with them later.
This is my rescue Ivy
Polly Esther Rabbit, adopted from the RSPCA.
Bella cat from Cat’s Protection.
This is my beautiful buddy. She's a fabulous little dog. 7th birthday next week!
Minnie checking that I have loaded the dishwasher correctly...
Peggy. Looking guilty because she has dragged her blanket on to the sofa.

Hopefully here are a couple of the The Dog we do Not Own. We are reluctantly willing to own him (if we have a dog we’d rather be totally responsible for it and not all our property is fenced,apart from the fact that he can jump six feet from a standing position.) He was taken in by DH’s nephew where he got regular food and exercise. Unfortunately DN took in two more large dogs who attacked him and after several weeks of living wild he turned up on our doorstep looking very much the worse for wear. He’s willing to be fed, stroked and sheltered from the weather. But he is as slippery as an eel if you try to restrain him. He has obviously been very badly treated somewhere and won’t let anyone pat his back or approach him from the rear. DN brought his bed round last winter but he will only go in it if he knows he has a clear getaway.
Not only are we all willing to wait on him hand and foot (this includes DD, DGD,DGS and DSIL, who was probably the first person to stroke him albeit from a sunbed while he was lying down, but he has taken to bringing his friends around, some of a neighbour’s dogs. I was taken to task by the said neighbour for not having him vaccinated against rabies. I told her that if she could catch him to do it then I was quite willing to pay for it. She hasn’t asked for any money!
Most Portuguese people are very fond of animals but large dogs are mostly treated as working animals and only fed what the owner can afford (scraps). Having said that the neighbour does work in a restaurant. 
This is Pumpkin. She was a rescue cat but seemed to feel at home from the moment she came in the house.
