Other Pets

Here are the other furry members of my family.

“The Dogs”

Penny is my beautiful 12 year o ld (soon to be 13) crossbreed girl and the first dog I ever had.  I adopted her from the SSPCA when she was one year old and she had a lot of problems, as well as being emaciated.  We’ve been through a lot together and it has been hard going for a lot of the time due to fear issues (she had been wandering the streets for months as a young dog, so wasn’t socialised properly).  Although Penny is not keen on strangers, she is the most loving dog towards her “family” that a person could ever wish for.  She does sometimes take to certain people and they consider themselves very lucky as she is rather choosy.

I got Barney when he was 7 years o ld.  A couple had taken him on as his previous owners were going to have him put to sleep because they were separating and neither of them wanted to take Barney with them.    Unfortunately the lady who saved Barney turned out to be allergic to him so it’s then that Barney came to live here.  He’s now also around 12 years old and a loveable, affectionate dog.  He’s great with children and other dogs and apart from being slightly mad at times a joy to have as a companion.

 ”The Bunnies”

Mose is my oldest bunny at the moment and he is around 7 years old.  Although getting on in years you would never guess it and he’s fit and healthy.  He’s not really a people bunny – he doesn’t mind you, but doesn’t seek out human attention but is much happier in bunny company.  I got him 6 years ago from CARROT (Care and Rehoming Rabbits Of Tayside)  I’m sure you’ll agree he’s a very handsome little man.

Due to Mose’s long term wifey bun passing away I decided to adopt Lucy from BARC (Barnsley Animal Rescue Charity) as a partner for him.  It was pretty much love at first sight and they have been together every since.   Lucy is around 4 years old and I love her pretty blue eyes.

Mose is the brown X lionhead and Lucy the light brown and white Xdutch type bun.
