Welcome to TAS  :wave:


we have Snowball (a black siameseX cat - she technically works here as rat control though!) then there's Paddy a Senegal parrot, Flopsy a white lionlop bunny (retired from breeding) and then 2 goldfish that my kids won at a fair, they were so proud as they came up brandishing their plastic bags with them in...I was less impressed when it cost me £30 to buy a tank, pump, plants, gravel........ ::) [size=78%] [/size]

You dont need an icebreaker Shropshirelass, just get stuck in and join the conversations its great fun! A big welcome from me in France. Ive only visited Shropshire a couple of times but its very beautiful.
At the moment we have 2 moggies, having only recently lost our third one Phoebe. However, our neighbours moved and took their dog but left their cats to fend for themselves...nice! One of them Lily is very friendly and loves a cuddle so we are in the process of intigrating her with the other 2, not an easy task. The other cat Lola stays outside and just gets fed and watered by us.

I have 8 cats that earn their keep by rabbiting and keeping the polecats away and 4 border collies, two of which work two are 'pets'. Other than that we dont have pets as such.

Hi Shropshirelass, welcome from a Yorkshire lass.  :wave:
At the moment we have five cats - good little mousers even the two old girls, one 12 year old Golden Retriever (my big soft mummy's boy!) five horses, two pet lambs and one goldfish.  Oh and a pet husband - he takes the most looking after!!  ;D ;D
Enjoy TAS, its a lovely friendly place with lots of sound advice.
Doing that swan thing - cool and calm on the surface but paddling like crazy beneath.

Hello  :wave:


We have 3 dogs, who each have their own master. My mother has a jack Russell for ratting, I have a 9 yr old collie, who desperately loves me. And my OH and I got a puppy 3 pr so years ago, who looked round and went- oh he does have a dog, and attached himself to my OH.


3 cats, the 2 young ones are pretty good at catching rats, mice (and birdies  >:(  ).


Too many guinea pigs because we don't seem to be very good at sexing them  ???  Lol
