| This is Joey, the first budgie we got. I dont remember him coz i still wasn't born when he was around. Apparently he was really friendly and used to sit on my dads shoulder and head and stuff. He is a very cute budgie but unfortunatley he escaped out the window one day never to return again! |

| Joey the budgie(walking upside down). He used to be our neighbour's but with 4 kids they couldnt really look after him. he was quite shy, he wouldn't sit on my finger or land on people or anything like that. He was very active though, as you can see, he liked walking upside down, he also loved to swim in the frisby (on top of his cage,blue). He liked flying obviously! We used to let him fly around the room and he used to sit on the curtain rail and peel off the wallpaper!Joey was my best friend an I used to tell him everything, he would listen to me go on and talk back,if it wernt for him the first years of secondary school would have been unbearable! He loved singing along to BSB as well. Joey died in feb 1997 coz my mum didn't close my door properly after she had opened his cage and the cat came in and she got him. I was well upset i just sat there crying in my room for the whole night! |
| Florence the tortoiseshell (we did not name her). Our neighbours got her as a kitten and once she was big enough to be let out they just used to leave her our for the whole day on her own. Eventually she started coming in our garden and in the shop coz the door was always open. My mum started feeding her, then she came more often and her owners used to have to come and get her and take her home coz she would not go on her own.Then they asked us to look after when they went on holiday and she moved in with us and never went home. Her owners still used to come and take her home, but she soon came back here. Soon after they moved away and told us to keep her so we did!She is now around 77 years old and a bit chubby and spiteful but she is still beautiful! |
| Tiger(below) and Simba(above). These were or alsations they are the greatest dog ever. They were half brothers (you can see the resemblence!) but unfortunatly Simba had bone cancer and there was nothing they could do and he died when i was really young so I dont remember him either! Tiger luckily didnt have the same problems and I remember him very well. he was my gaurdian angel, ever since I was born he looked after me. If i cried he used to get my parents to go to me, he would always sit by my pram. When I was older, if my parents started shouting at me he would always come in between us and bark at them till they stopped! I also remember when I screamed coz a bee landed on my foot he came and ate it off (but it stung his mouth!). He used to take me for walks and always sat with me when I was alone. I loved him so much, he was such a cleaver dog. He sadly died on Jan 11 1991, it was in the morning when mum had opened the shop he went out for his wee like he did every morning, but there must have been a cat or sumfink and he ran out into the main road( and got knocked down, one of our neighbours saw it and he came in to tell my mum, as he was saying it Tiger had made his way back home and he collapsed in the kitchen |
| I love animals, they are great I can't see how anyone can be cruel to animals, it makes me sick, those kind of people should get a criminal record and be banned for life from having a pet. I used to have two dogs (tiger and simba) and two gold fish (slim and shady) and a budgie(joey), now all i have is a cat called florence. |
