We have always had dogs, then we had bunnies, quail, canaries, budgies, fish, snails, and now a little deaf cat.

As a child, we had a fox terrier. We had a large backyard back then. As an adult, we have fish, a rainbow lorikeet or 2 indoor cats. We don’t have much of a backyard.

As a child my family owned pigeons, budgies etc. then we had a large fish tank with some beautiful fish. Then dogs. My favourite would have to be the dogs because it’s the most playful. But i was always mesmerised watching the fish swim around! They had personalities for sure.

Lots of dogs over my life, cats, birds, mice, guinea pigs, chickens, turtle and a rabbit once. I think it is really important for children to have pets to learn compassion, responsibilty, caring & empathy.
