I have a Cocker Spaniel - Poppy
We've got a beautiful Golden Retriever called Scuba. We had him as a 1 yr old so he was already named. It was only when we took him out we realised where he got his name from. As soon as he sees water he's straight in no matter how smelly or dirty !
Nostromo, into the corner[msnmad]!
We have 2 old english sheepdogs, Lottie (7) and Millie (3) and the ruler of the pack, a little black cat called Max who is 13. He and Lottie hate each other, and he and Millie just adore each other, although he is not above biffing her about the face when the grooms him rather too enthusiastically.

We had 3 cats, Inki, Pinki, and Dinki, as you can guess, pinki was white with pink ears, and dinki was a tiny tabby, and Inki a black cat, unfortuneately both Pinks, and Dinks, succombed to tunours in there mouth, and we had to have them put down, within one month of each other, I am devestated, as they where both rescued by me, and where my little mates, they were a good age of 19 and 18, Inki is Joyes cat, that came with her when ewe married.
After coming back from Florida this year, it really hit me, not having a cat to come home to, straight down the local CPL branch, and we now have a lovely snowy white 2 year old, who was abandoned with her kittens, and her name is Lilli
Nostromo my answer was a joke too!! I can hardly put you in a corner can I?[msnwink] However, if my husband said that about me he wouldn't live to see another day[}:)].
I have a black and white cat who is 10 years old called Maverick.[msnsmile2]

It would of been harder to bring them and have one or both die while traveling.....they went to a rest home in the New Forest and live part time with a lady in the village......we don't have updates....I thought it best we made a clean break......

Here is a picture from the show...a few different dogs were used....my pup nearly did the pics taken in England for the TVTimes.......but she had been ill at the time so one of the other dogs from her litter was used.......
A cat called Charli (female) who is the biggest b***** going. All this week I have been woken up by the sound of her "growling". Turn on the light (in the middle of the night) and there is a half eaten mouse/or a live one.
She is so aloof it is unbelievable! However, she is loyal to me and pretends she is a dog - follows me everywhere.
She is also nicknamed "Bucket" as in Charli (e) Bucket from Charlie and the chocolate factory. Don't ask me why it just came out one day and it has now stuck, in fact all the neighbours call her bucket!

chrizzy, thanks for sharing this with us!! lovely dogs, i had a german shepherd Jukie, many years ago along with another old mongrel Buster, they were horrors, i came into my kitchen one morning (i was 5 days overdue with baby number 5) and found 8 lots of dogs mess all over my floor, and endless puddles of pee!!!!!! i ended up giving the german shepherd to alsation rescue in climping in arundel, they home them with families on a waiting list after being vetted!! and i think people pay fees for this, he went to a good home and am sure he wouldve had a great life, he had a fantastic personality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i to chose not to hear reports, but to make a clean break!!!
never again, how i regretted that...............hormones!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that was 21 years ago, and Buster lived till he was 14 and a half, i had to have him put to sleep 7 years ago, 27th dec, on xmas eve he couldnt walk, just laid and weed, couldnt get up, it was so sad, he paced the floor all day xmas day and boxing day, then we spoke to the vet again, and they said they thought it was time for him to go........ absolutely broke my heart!!!
We have always had border collies since we have been married.
We now have Tess, another border collie. She is scared stiff of fireworks, thunder and any large bangs but is a great working dog, very faithful and adores the grandchildren.
Mike and Kath
One cat called scrunch she is a lady of leisure, one rabbit Opy who has the run of the garden 24/7 protected by our cat and the two next door who all share the same hutch in the night, rabbit and cat come in together in the morning for food, and usually stay until tea time before going back out. Oh I forgot, One husband who is house trained and is well behaved who is called Phil.:D:D
We have three cats. Pebbles who is black and white she is 11 years old.She has degenerative liver complaint so we don't know how much longer she has. She is not in pain tho. Bruno is brown fat tabby who is 10 and is completely mad. He likes to sleep on my head at night if he has his own way. And lastly there is Woody (after toy story)he arrived as a stray when he was 10 weeks old. He climbed up Petes leg in the drive cried pitifully and has never left. That was just under 3 years ago. I think he walked up and down the road and worked out who the suckers were. He looks exactly like puss in boots in Shrek 2.[:o)]
We have had all kinds over the years but at the moment there is-
Bosun- 3 year old golden lab who we love too bits
cookie- dutch rabbit
lulu and biscuit- hamsters
and a goldfish.
Our numbers are very much down on our BC (before children) days :( We now have 2 mini wire daxis Humphrey and William (we used to have 5 dogs), 6 cats Stanley, Teddy, Mabel, Donald, Freddie and Lewie (we had 11 at one time[:I]) and 4 tortoises Mickey, Minnie, Lilo and Stitch :D We also have a tank of marine fish and a tank of tropical fish:)

Chrizzy100, my son soooo wants a siberian husky and is allergic to dogs poor lad. He has loved this breed for a long time, do you find them a loyal pet? He has just bought himself an old style Mini, not the same but it will keep him just as occupied fixing it up, bless him. Great pictures, I will show him tomorrow[clap]
Ruth.....Good thing you get a discount on your veterinary care.[msnwink]

My husband is allergic to dogs...but has no trouble with huskies because they have no guard hairs......you could take him to a kennel to find out...most husky breeders are very nice....if he is ok he could at some date rescue one....[msnsmile2]
We have six cats [msnoo] yes six!!!!
Tabitha(13) who rules the roost and has got to be the laziest animal ever, my other half calls her lardy a**e, then Lucy, Maple, Chivers, Mickey and bilbo baggins.
Mickey did have a sister Minnie until she was killed outside our house a few weeks ago, it broke my heart and the hardest thing was trying to be strong for my children, I just wanted to bawl like a baby, I sympathise with all owners who have ever lost a pet, we just don't realise how much they take over our lives do we?
We have a westie.... ( I really wanted a mini english bull terrier - but compromised!![msnwink]) However we love Oscar just as much... Our son grew up thinking the breed was called West highland white terrors (as opposed to terriers) - he did get upto mischief as a pup- eating a variety of stuff including pencils- chair legs! an LP, tinsel (for which he had an op at 6 months old in order to remove it!!!!)
this is our dog a weimaraner indie:)
