WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A ANIMAL LOVING FAMILY  TAKING IN UNWANTED PETS  OVER THE YEARS ALWAYS PLANNING TO REHOME THEM BUT VERY OFTEN THEY END UP STAYING  . THIS IS SOME OF THE RESIDENTS AND THERE STORIES.

      

 

TOM DICK AND HARRY

 

THESE ARE 3 OF THE 6 GUNEA PIGS WE NOW  HAVE, THEY CAME FROM AN RSPCA CENTRE AND HAVE BEEN RESIDENTS HERE NOW FOR OVER A YEAR. MANY GUNEA PIGS NEED REHOMEING YEARLY WHERE THEY ARE BOUGHT FOR CHILDRENS PETS AND THEY SOON GET BORED  WITH THEM LEAVING THE PARENTS TO LOOK AFTER THEM OR IN MANY CASES THEY HAVE TO BE REHOMED, WE STARTED OF BULIDING THEM A SMALL RUN WHICH ENDED UP AS THE GUINEA PIG HILTON !  WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING THEM AN EXTENTION  !

 

 

 

LUCKY DUCKIE AND  DAISY DUCK

 

WE USED  TO HAVE 3 DUCKS BUT UNFORTUNATELY LOST ONE LAST YEAR.  LUCKY DUCKIE  WAS FOUND WANDERING THE STREETS BY MY DAUGHTER, ALTHOUGH NOT THAT KEEN ON FLAPPING WINGS SHE MANAGED TO CATCH THE DUCK AND BROUGHT IT HOME WRAPPED IN HER DESIGNER JUMPER, HE SOON SETTLED IN AND IS NOW VERY HAPPY WITH DAISY, HIS FAVOURTIE FOOD IS CAT BISCUITS AND FISH PELLETS

DAISY WAS AGAIN A STRAY DUCK FOUND IN OUR FRONT GARDEN, SHE WASNT TOO WELL WHEN FOUND AND HAS A TWISTED LEG BUT STILL MANAGES TO SWIN AND CHASE AROUND THE GARDEN.

TOFFEE

 

TOFFE IS A JACK RUSSELL WITH ATTITUDE, HE ARRIVED HERE ONE DARK EVENING AFTER WE AGREED TO FIND HIM A HOME. WE HAD SOME NEW FURNITURE DELIVERED AND THE DRIVER DIDNT HAVE TIME TO SPEND WITH HIM AND HE WAS LEFT ALONE MOST OF THE DAY IN A KENNEL WE WERE NOT AWARE THAT HE WASNT THAT FRIENDLY UNTIL HE ARRIVED.  IT WAS A SHOCK AT FIRST BUT HE SOON SETTLED IN AND BECAME A REAL CHARACTER, HES A TAN AND WHITE DOG WITH PIXIE EARS AND NOW A REAL SOFTIE, YES  HES ANOTHER ONE THAT NEVER LEFT.

 

      

 

THE AVIARY

 

HERE WE FIND A RIGHT MIX OF FEATHERY FRIENDS, WE STARTED WITHA  COCKETEIL WE FOUND IN THE GARDEN, IT SOON GREW INTO A VARIETY OF BUDGIES , QUAILS AND COCKETEILS AND BEING OUR HOUSEHOLD  WE DO HAVE THE UNUSUAL SUCH AS  ONES THAT CANT FLY !!!!  APART FROM A FEW THAT WE HAVE PURCHASED THE MOST ARE FROM RESCUE CENTRES AND UNWANTED PETS.

VINNIE CAME TO US WHEN MY DAUGHTER HEARD ABOUT HIM FROM A FRIEND, HE HAD BEEN RETURNED TO THE BREEDER AND NEEDED A NEW HOME, SHE WAS LOOKING AT THE TIME TO BUY A PUPPY BUT AFTER MEETING VINNIE  SHE JUAT HAD TO HAVE HIM.  HE ARRIVED IN POOR CONDITION AND AFTER MANY TRIPS TO THE VETS  IS NOW THE PICTURE OF HEALTH  [ AND RATHER SPOILT !!!!   ]  HE HAS THE MOBILE DOG GROOMER COME TO BATH HIM AND HAS DUVETS FOR HIS BED ALONG WITH DESIGNER BIBS FOR HIS TRIPS TO THE LOCAL PUB. 

 

 

 

Mrs No Tail

 

THE CATTERY

 

WE DIDNT PLAN TO HAVE CATS WHEN WE ARRIVED HERE MAINLY AS MY DAUGHTER HAS AN ALLEGY TO CAT HAIR, HOWEVER, AFTER THE FIRST STRAY MOVED IN , WE SOON GOT USED TO CATS BEING HERE AND NOW HAVE 5, THE LATEST BEING A BLACK AND WHITE STRAY WHO APPEARED ONE DAY AND HAS STAYED.  I THINK IT GOT A TAST FOR SARDINES AND ENJOYED THE COMPANY OF THE OTHER CATS.  WE ALSO HAVE MRS NO TAIL, SHE IS A ANGELIC LOOKING SILVER TABBY BUT THATS WHERE THE GOOD NATURE ENDS, SHE HAS AN EVIL STREAK AND AFTER 8 MONTHS OF KNOWING HER WE STILL CANT GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO STROKE HER, WELL NOT IF WE VALUE OUR FINGERS !!!!!!!  WE THINK SHE HOLDS A GRUDGE ABOUT THE LOSS OF HER TAIL.
