The pets thread

Wow, you lot all have great pets. I wish I had a dog, but I am allergic to them . Might get a labradoodle.

How severe is your allergy to dogs?

I was allergic - but if it's just a slight allergy (sneezing, runny eyes etc...) it'll go away in time!

Just gotta hold on till it does! Unfortunately, mine has come back since I don't live with them anymore - but it won't put me off getting a dog in the future.

Severe enough.

That is a bugger.

yup.

Did have a lovely cat until recently, had to put the wee fella down.
Just one of those things, unfortunatley.

Damn, that really sucks. Do you mind if I ask why?

Thanks
Sure, he had a tumour that was stopping him eating. Vet couldn't do anything.

I think it's terrible when pets have to be put down. It always seems so sudden, like a member of the family has died.

Yeah, they take up a big part of your life.
Had him for 13years, so he had a decent run. Still debating whether to get a new one,

Don't get a new one.. get two!

Two kittens are better than one

Have you been colluding with Mrs ChrissyBoy ????

That was her answer.

I think it's just women in general. Never satisfied with one.

Just got back: dead robin on front path, and what looks suspiciously like a dead pigeon in the back garden

Little bastards. I'm trading them in for a dog.

Well the robin is upsetting but pigeons are flying vermin... kill zem all I say!

We have a little Robin who has occupied our garden for about a year now. He's always there. He (or maybe she? dunno if there is a difference in markings) is quite cocky and will come right up to you.

Agree with you Mrs Trev that pigeons are vermin, however I live in the countryside, so it might have been a dove rather than a dirty chavvy townie pigeon! I don't actually know what the difference is, perhaps if Bill Oddie is reading he'd enllighten me, but whatever it was, it's missing a head...

Robins are great! When my mum-in-law's cat (the aforementioned Scrabble) died she adopted a robin called Bob that used to eat bird seed out of our hands.

And I really don't know what we've got nesting in our chimney at the moment but the buggers wake me up every morning at 5am... so I can't be too mad at our cats for their bird-murdering antics.

New Kitten has arrived !
Just got one, name Otis.

Otis is f*cking cool!

Omg, he's cute.

Someone should LOLcat your cat

Aw, hello sweetie.

I want him.

Teh ya go.

Cheers !
Cute, but the little bugger kept me up all bloody night !
