A beautiful shaded cameo persian!! We had had a huge storm a couple of weeks before and a tree had fallen on top of the fence at the top of my road and I had seen this cat run in and out of the hole in the fence. Then one day lying on the pavement was this poor cat - I thought she was dead - she was nothing but skin and bone and her fur was so matted that it was as hard as a rock!! I took her off to the vet and after a few days of recovery she came home to live with me! I called her Phoebe (I posted a pic of her in cat photos a while ago) - she's the one that started my love affair with cats. Devastatingly she got run over a few years later but I'm just glad that I was able to offer her the best life she could have for the remainder of her time with us! So, let me see, that must have been about 13 years that I had waited for my fluffy kitty!

At seven I was still going on and my mum said I could get a cat but not a dog, but if I got the cat then that I wouldnt ever get a dog (as long as I lived with her anyway). Well I gave in very easily and got Poppy and Belle, Belle died at six years old but I still have my nine year old Poppy, in fact shes sitting in the room as I type. I still want a dog but I have my impatience to thank for the best cat in the world, I couldn't imagine a better companion than Poppy Posted: Mon Jan 08, 2007 8:17 pm Beckyess Grooming Expert Joined: Oct 20, 2006 Posts: 535 Age: 38 No.Of Pets: 4 Pet Types: dogs Karma: 11 Thank Location: Somersetshire!

However I have always wanted an african grey parrot or a cockatoo,but after wanting to move out of my parents at the age of 20 i realised i couldnt live on my own and save up for a parrot. So since moving out have settled for having rats,and after 6 months of living with my fiance we rehomed our jack russel. Shortly after buying our house 18 months ago i managed to convince him to rehome another dog and we got our labrador X. The dog i will always always want is a staffordshire bull terrier. I know they arent everyones sorta dog,but one day i will have one even if i have to pay 400 to get one from a private breeder. I do love our dogs that we have at the moment too,they are my babies aswell as linford Posted: Wed Feb 07, 2007 9:50 am shadylady TopDog Joined: Dec 21, 2006 Posts: 1495 Age: 22 No.Of Pets: 10+ Pet Types: dog 2 hamsters 2 snails 2 guinea pigs 3 cats and 6 rabbits Karma: 36 Thank Medals: None 6589 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: i havent waited that long for any of my animals but ever since i was 6 and my mum brought me a my little pony toy ive wanted a horse, i have been horse riding and im quite experianced in riding, but im not experianced on the pratical side of cleaning them out im afraid, but i have got ten rabbits at the mo and they have to be cleaned out so thats a start lol they r also expensive to look after but i am determined to get a horse before i die and i will i would love a friesan horse there so gorgeous. here r some pics of my future horse lol ____________ Posted: Wed Feb 07, 2007 6:18 pm Sponsor Hcollie85 TopDog Joined: Nov 13, 2006 Posts: 2923 Age: 23 No.Of Pets: 1 Pet Types: dog, jack russell Karma: 19 Thank Location: Isle Of Mull, West coast Scotland Medals: None 5698 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: dont buy...... well ive always wanted a collie since by dad had them for his job, and i watched them working plus they were trained.
