What pets do you have, and what pets have you had?

Our handsome beast came from a rescue centre. He has turned out to be a joy. Maybe it's a combination of nature and nurture. And maybe we just got plain lucky.

Anyway I've been thinking about volunteering to help there as a little bit of payback. I might have done so already since I have time - I retired a couple of months ago - but a bit of ill health has delayed that.

Here's a picture of him trying to decide if he wants to read about racing or fuses.......

It is a lot of the way you treat them, They are not daft , they know nice people:smile5:.
I am pleased You are considering helping out . It will be very worthwhile. I take my hat of to you.
There should be more like you, the world would be a better place.

In my own way I try and help the wildlife around here, we have a wide variety , especially song and hedgerow birds.
Not being able to much lately I get great pleasure trying to keep them safe, and also keep the poachers at bay.

PS. We have similar interests.

this post looks a bit fishy to me.
 
i like cats, but can't have one near me as i'm allergic. even some customers' houses, i can't work there, but having said that, your dexter is a beauty.

If I'm honest I don't, The thing is I struggle to see the point of them ( Sorry Lee and other cat lovers ) don't get me wrong I could not nor would not ever do one any harm but I just don't get their purpose, Don't get me wrong there is something very relaxing about watching one hunting or prowling but that's where it stops for me.
But we can't all like only one kind of animal.
 
The other half insured ours today for the year, third party fire and theft...or something like that. £60 quid!!

I pointed out we could get a brand new one from the RSPCA again for 50 notes.

Apparently is doesn't work like that.
