He was very tame and friendly - people were amazed to see a rabbit living in the house. Unfortunately he died back in the summer - lived for 8 and a half years which is not bad going for a rabbit! A photo of him - he was a Tan rabbit, not a breed you see often. Click to see full size image. (IMG:http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a256/StuartWilson/th_P1010008.jpg)

A black labrador called Duke. Another rabbit called Moses (we found him in the rushes). A goldfish called Billy. Three cats Kayleigh, Tommy, Lisa. Now got a tank full of tropical fish (as yet un-named). Forgot to mention my tortoise called Sweeney

I quite often find him curled up with Brodie infront of the fire (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).

Unregistered	My first ever cat as a child was Sandy.. a big ginger tom; A gerbil called Gerald because he reminded me of the greengrocer round the corner, of the same name! Then a brother and sister called Midge ( from the otter in Ring of Bright Water) and Jacey (They were born at Easter so JC became Jacey) Then another brother and sister called Bertie and Jess ( after my maternal grandparents!!) Then I took in Bertie and Jess's sister (Pussy Cat) when they were four months old. (My sister had her first, but couldn't keep her). Pussy Cat is the tortoiseshell who I lost in June. She was 16 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I now have Charlie, a big black cat who's 11!

Originally named Madelaine and Mathilda which we just couldn't keep. They replaced Aslan (giant amongst felines), Cuddles (not the cuddliest) and Hangover (only female in the litter of brandy, whisky...). I want an old English sheepdog called Gandalf.

Do you want to adaopt my cat as your Ganalf in the meantime, virtually of course as I'd miss him terribly if he wasn't around.

I was going to put on a pic, but couldn't work it out. How do you put on pics from your hard drive (rather than the net)?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) She's a Taurean - like me - but unlike me actually manages to live out her life of luxury (I only dream.....)

I sometimes wonder if it's because her fur is the colour of rosewood (probably not!)

Virtuoso Group: Members Posts: 3054 Joined: 8-August 06 Member No.: 7335	Well... We have dog called Beano... not too sure why, but we acquired him from someone who was moving abroad so it's not our fault. My friend thinks he should be called Basil Brush as he looks a bit like him... just larger... He is a Nova Scotia Dock Tolling Retriever (honest.....) Bit like a red retriever. Then we have a kitten who was feral... there were 3 tiny kittens in our garden and when we returned from hols in May, one was dead and one disappeared so we captured the last one... whom my daughter named Covy... short for Shostacovich... we were playing something by him at wind band. Perhaps not a terribly suitable name for a black female cat. Then we have a rabbit named Becky... but it's a male and a guinea pig whose name we have forgotten.....
