Hey

I have a white alsation (Judy - otherwise known as Booboo) who we got with her brother (Lewis - Fat Pig), from a shelter. They had been really badly abused and needed a home which would ignore their weirdness and so fitted right in. At first they were so scared that even raising a hand would have them on the floor quivering and you could feel all their bones. But now they are so much better. Fatz died last year of throat cancer but Booboo is such a joy to have.

I also have a Bijon Frise called Alphred (Smallie). He is inherited and is abit annoying - Bijons take about 6 years to house train and then after the age of about 7 or 8 become incontinent again.

I also collect cats. We only have 4 at the moment but we had about 7 last year - any strays end up moving in with us or we get them from people that know we take in any animal really. At the moment we have Tom - (a big fat ginger tom who is gorgeous! he is so placid, he grew up with us and so grew up being dressed in dolls clothes and being put in a pram and pushed around. He also thought he was Jesus for about a year because he firmly believed he could walk on water. Mum was so glad when he got over that stage because at one point she had to be there to rescue either my sister and I or Tom from the pond. Fred is my cat and is black, white and deaf and an idiot. He was found as a kitten walking down the middle of a main road on Boxing day where he had been abandoned. He was given to a wild life sancturary and then we got him. He had orignially chosen a sheep as his mum and when he came to us he decided that Woof (my old springer spaniel) was mum. He is a sweetie and loves sharing the bed and sleeping in your armpits or perching on your shoulder. Gareth is a stray that moved in. He is beautiful, a HUGE black cat. Shame he has almost no personality though. He loves sleeping between peoples knees and eats anything. Willum was also inherited and he is a Burman. He is gorgeous but alittie difficult. He is just not a people cat and more of a lots of presents of rats mice and rabbits.

Well, that's my current lot!
