Presuming that this lot all works you should be looking at a much more vibrant blog entry than usual, if it doesn't then you are looking rather puzzled at what can only be described as an explosion in a font factory. Pets seem to be an addition to many families once kids have arrived and ours is no exception. When it was just me and the good lady all those years back one dog and for a short while a cat seemed all that was necessary to add to the young household. The animal being welcome company for whoever was in the house alone at any given time. Now with three kids and seldom anyone in the house alone for more than half an hour or so there seems to have been an explosion in the number of animal mouths requiring food, and consequently more areas requiring frequent mucking out. So here is a short rundown of what and who is residing in our house. Firstly we have Arnie

Now this dog is five years old but still hasn't learnt to cock his leg. The result is that he manages to pee all over his front feet each time he relieves himself you can tell he realises that something is not quite right by the puzzled expression on his face as he looks at his soaked paws. Then there is Vi

She's getting a little old now but bosses everyone else around, also known as "Virus" when she's being a pain... Next up Taz

Cute and cuddley? Looks it but when you've seen her a few days before giving birth rolling around in mud, blood and guts after catching a rat under the bushes down the garden you tend to see an evil streak in her eye. Have you ever tried parting a Jack Russell from its kill? Not advisable, I'm sure she resents me for it to this day. Finally Rolie

This character grew up with Arnie from a puppy but when they were around 12 months old they had a falling out and now have to be separated at all times. He hates being inside anyway so he has a nice kennel and a run out the back. He can cock his leg and you can almost see a smile on his face when he does it, especially if Arnie is in his view. He gets the "Ha Ha look what I can do" kind of face... Add to these four reprobates one tortoise, two guinea pigs, three fish and a cockatiel and you get the general feeling that the house has turned into a zoo So thats a bit more about us, I will post more pictures soon of the entire zoo.
