Tell us about your pets past/present
When I was a kid, we had many pets. We lived in the countryside and always had a dog and then my brother took to bringing stray cats home!
The most important past pet was our first dog. His name was Kheops. He was a cross between a German shepherd and something else and had the most gorgeous ginger fur. He was kind, patient and affectionate and I was devastated when he died. My parents got him just before I was born and he died when I was 14. As he got older, his hind leg started to drag and every night I could hear him walking round the house and I could hear his leg on the gravel. For months after he died, I could hear that sound! The mind plays funny tricks on you! Sadly I don't have any pictures of him as this was before the digital era
When we bought the house, I decided it was time for us to have a pet and we bought a kitten. Millie has been with us since September. It's been brilliant seeing her grow and we've been like parents, worried when she went outside for the first time, and when she had her operation...Even though she has driven us insane at times, we love her very much and she is a great pet. I would like to thank her for the two dead mice she left on the landing, one of whom was decapitated!
