I feel quite inadequate now!!! I have an elderly pooch called Moggs, and we have an 'office dog' - actually belongs to the MD but we all like to share - she's a rescue collie called Lacey, very skittish and nervy but getting better by the day!

One dog: Buddy "The Budster", a Westie, nearly two (see avatar). He is all you could wish for: friendly, feisty and fun.

It is so lovely seeing everyone else's pets. We had a thread like this last year and it was great!

We just have Aimee - a 2 year old lab/collie cross, but boy do we know we have her!

She is just great fun and goes just everywhere with us, even on the boat.

I've only got Amy the cat who we adopted fully last year although I've helped look after her for the last 11 or 12 years. She was originally a stray who our neighbours asked me to help with & when they moved they left her with me. She's always been very nervous, especially of men but is now much more confident with me. We used to have a big soppy boxer dog called Tess who died years ago, I still miss her every day!

I've had two lab/collie crosses. Both wonderful dogs, Lollie and Hansel. I want another one but not until I have my garden and my life sorted out.

Here's our kitty Benny, who's sleeping right next to me at the moment. I'd love to have more cats and a few dogs, actually, I would love to have a St. Bernard! Oh well, someday when we can afford a farmhouse in Devon/France/Italy, anywhere!

We have boxers too. Prinny and pj (prince junior). Unfortunately we lost pj's mum poppy 2 weeks ago. Even now it hurts, i miss her terribly. Prinny is loopy but we love him and pj is a gentle giant. No pics am afraid.

I'd love to have dogs, but no room for them (and they aren't welcome in rented accom: let's face it, paying tenants aren't that welcome either )

I have (on timeshare) : a vicious green cheeked conure (Jasper), http://www.sobaybirdsoc.com/images/Hulkie.jpg and his boyfriend Budget (blue budgie) and 3 guinea pigs: Charles, Camilla and Baby (pictured with her doppleganger).

We have 3 ancient horseys (pony size but all part bred arabs so I think I can get away with horseys), one mini dachshund (Graf Ludwig von Honingsburg) one rescue cat (T Rex) one ancient gerbil (Tom) - Jerry and Terry died, hoping to get chooks this year sometime.

1 very cool and loved old guinea pig called Stan (Ollie died very young...within a week actually)
and 2 Sussex light hens named hinge and bracket. They are all intregal to the composting, weeding and grass cutting regime here.

My daughter would love a dog but she is just seven and i have meanly said that she can't have one till she can walk and look after it herself.
