    Hi Debbierose,

    Nice to meet you - I get the feeling you're quite a positive person!! You must be kept very busy with your family and animals. I'd love a dog (had one a few years ago) but I work full-time as does my younger son who still lives with me so it wouldn't be fair.

    I have 4 bunnies (2 bonded pairs) and while they still like human company they're fine on their own and don't have to be taken for walks etc. 2 of them are rescue buns so that's nice and each of them is so different. I think a lot of people still think that rabbits just sit there and don't do anything but they can be so much fun.

    Probably see you on here again sometime.

    Pheebs x

    It's so nice to see other people posting about their pets!
    I have two cats who are just lovely. I have a big, clumsy tabby cat called Widget and a teeny tiny black cat called Alan. We adopted them both, Widget came from a friend of a friend and Alan arrived at our back door one day and very stubbornly refused to leave!
    They have a love/hate relationship with each other and are hilarious to watch when they play and wind each other up! :D
    I have always loved having pets around the house and since I have been unwell they have been such a support for me. They know when I need a cuddle and now that I have stopped working they have been great company too!
    Funny things, they are always talking to me, if only I knew what they said! ( :idea: maybe they are asking for a sister?...haha! My husband would do backflips if I did that!)

    Hi, just thought I would say hello and welcome, alot of people have pets here so I am sure that more people will be along. As for me, I am 51, married to Malcolm for about 13 years, we have a huge Tabby cat who is black, dark grey and white, he is called Jasper, he is diabetic but tolerates his insulin injections really well.

    He is very cheeky and has decided to sleep next door to his mum, trouble is he is trying to push me out of bed love Jaspercatxx

    Thank you for the welcome - it's a great place to be!
