Family Friends

Over the years the Animal Health Trust have provide wonderful specialist care and support to several of our dogs and for years I donated greeting cards to sell in their Visitors Centre to help raise funds for their ongoing research. Lack of funs forced them to close in Summer 2020 so my cards now go the the RSPCA and Wood Green charity shops.

This is just a delight to see - Daisy looks as if she is very inquisitive.
Freddie is very splendid.

So cute Brenda! You have quite the menagerie :) I still live with my parents and we have our cats, but whenever the time comes for my boyfriend and I to start a home and family together, you can bet that there'll be all sorts of creatures running around the place! My dream home would have a cow, some hens, a dog or two and some cats - easy to tell I was brought up on a farm :) Hehe!

I am going to come and pinch Daisy whilst you are not looking. Then again if she was in your craft room I may never want to leave. Stunning job.

Good Morning, Brenda! I was showing my DH your beautiful organised craft room and my children peeped in at the same time when they saw your dog. Then they went awww.... with all the dogs you have. We love dogs but do not have one as I am afraid of all hassles of having a dog. Thank you so much for sharing the lovely pictures!

Awwwwww they are all so adorable.
Giggled at Toy boy George and fridge monster Daisy.
Hubby thought i'd lost the plot LOL
Sorry for the loss of your babies Brenda it is such a sad time.
We lost one of our cats Robin to kidney failure a year ago.
He was only 3 and it was like losing a family member.
Can't wait to see more pictures of Holly :)

Brenda,

Having wiped away the tears what can I say..........you have the most wonderful furry family here.
You've captured them so beautifully and Im still sniggering at that little scamp Daisy in the fridge!! That is priceless!
I can imagine how much love and affection you get from them and give them in return and I know first hand how they much they all mean to you!

Thanks for sharing Ive thoroughly enjoyed seeing them all!

So cute!
I have four cats, one dog, one turtle, one rabbit and one guinea pig.

what a wonderful bunch of furry friends you have there. My daughter is studying Animal Management at Bishop Burton College and would be in her element with your fabulous animals. She has to stick to small furries at home, so we have 1 Hamster, 3 gerbils and 2 guinea pigs, but her thoughts lie with animal welfare and I'm pretty sure she will adopt animals in need when she has her own place :)
