The Girls....

Looks like you have quite a family of animals to keep you busy as well as the garden. I remeber the days when our house was full of kids and all sorts of pets, but that's a long time ago now.

Salt & Pepper... VERY cute

Yes, I preferred the days when the children's pets were small and cuddly.
My daughter's love of animals developed into a passion for horses, which was fine while they stayed in the stables across the road but their hooves do make rather a mess of the back lawn ::) . Her boyfriend was besotted with reptiles, I count myself lucky that my son has opted for a pet gecko rather than a snake !
My closest companion is my 16 year old 'Battersea Special' who we all love dearly ( that's him in my avatar).
