tried to make a thread about my critters but it didn't work for some reason

I have 2 Chocolate Labs - Brecon (my lil man) and Tirion (my lil lady), 2 Guinea Pigs - Marmite and Cheese, a tank of tropical fish, one house pigeon - Houdini (being hand raised until big enough to go back into the loft), 14 Fantail doves, 2 exhibition fantail doves and 12 White racing pigeons - all of which are named but to many to list!

I have an adorable maltese terrier who was born on Christmas day 2005 so we called her Angel .She became a Mummy to Doodle Princess and Solitaire who all went to wonderful homes and now she is finished her Mummy days and being spoiled rotten.x

We had to have our Rollie put to sleep last year as he had a spinal tumour and his back legs did not work properly. At first he just looked a bit drunk but over the next few months he got worse and worse as was eventually just dragging his back legs along. The vet gave him steroid injections every few weeks which helped for a while but eventually eve n they stopped working, the vet was worried that Rollie's kidneys or bladder were going to be affected and he started not being able to go to toilet. It broke my heart to have him put to sleep but I believe it was the right thing to do. I cried for days afterward. (I'm crying now typing this!!!) He was such an affectionate loving cat, he would come running when I called him in the garden and when I was gardening he would come a lie by my side, he would snuggle up in bed and rub his face on you, sometimes combing your hair with his fangs which poked out a bit. He was also very vocal and would let you know when he wanted something.


Our Rollie Pollie

We were so lost without a cat around the house that when the pain had gone a bit we went to our local Animal Rescue centre and fell in love with not one but two kittens (7 months old) who were brothers and had to be homed together. Had we bitten off more than we could chew. Only time would tell.

They settled in really well and we have now had them nearly a year. They are both very different characters and cats as you can see in the photo. Ripple is small but bullies Smudge. Smudge is quite a bit bigger and more adventourous but quite clumsy.

This is my oldest cat Rosie who'se nearly 2


And my younger one Ellie who'se 18 months

This is my cute kitty Tammy.

I've got two kitties, I had 3 but my man cat passed away in August, so lovely and handsome he was, his name was Muffet...miss him every day.

My others are girls, Tinkerbell who is a senior cat, but all little because she'd not had the best life before I adopted her and Jasmine who is the new addition to the family, had her since she was 8 weeks old and she's now 15 months.

I will post some pictures of my girls and my boy later. I'm a proper cat lover, I think, nah...KNOW I like them more than I like most people.

YummyMummy, I went through a similar thing with one of my cats. His name was Nance and he had cancer. The vet gave him steroid injections and they worked for a while but he suddenly went rapidly downhill and the day we let him go was the worst day of my life
Our other cat Sid was pining for him as they had been together since Sid was 4 months old so I decided to get a kitten to keep him company .. which ended up being 2 kittens, Millie and Milo!
I still miss Nance like crazy, it was the first anniversary of his death last week and I had a small pawprint tattoo done in his memory!

I'll put some photos up when I am allowed!!
