Pete just posted on my thread about saying goodbye to my lovely mastiff. So as I know so many on here have pets thought I’d do a dedicated thread what you got. Doesn’t have to be just dogs. I’m looking forward to Steve telling me the names of all his bees.
I’ll post some of mine shortly.
👍

I keep finding cobwebs in the house, so I must have spiders in here hiding in the corners.
I wouldn't classify them pets though.

3 cats. One turned up on our doorstep after his owner died. He hung around for weeks but we never fed him. One day he stole a beef burger off the table during the lads 18th Birthday BBQ. We ended up taking him in and went from slightly anti-cat to now having three of them. Same as Veg above, went to get a kitten and came home with two! We also have a pond full of newts. They're not classed as pets I don't suppose. We used to have lots of frogs but it seems the newts have taken over and chucked them out. The newts actually eat the frog spawn which was something I didn't know they did. Nearly forgot. My Mrs has a tortoise. It lives in our loft in winter hibernating and lives at the sister in laws garden in summer. We just brought it down at the weekend. it's always a relief to see it's still alive although it's about 70 years old we think. As you can see the kittens like to do everything together, yes, even that     |

We have about 400,000 pets, haven't named any except the queens. Nice to see a responsible owner giving their cats a proper dumping area  |

I have a pet spider living in my car mirror 😮 We had a west highland terrier that died some years ago and we said we wouldnt get another, but we ended up minding my daughters Poochon. We did have 2 guinee pigs, Ben and Gerry, lovelly little things but dont last long. |

Just got 3 cats at the minute. All strays taken in. Tilly the tabby came in 2010 as a kitten found while taking my daughters trick or treating. The other two boy cats were left by someone moving out round the corner in 2018.    Tilly the little female is in charge though and the boy cats will not go past her :-) |

Nice to see a responsible owner giving their cats a proper dumping area We're actually trying to get them to do their stuff in the garden. What they seem to be doing though is hanging onto it all day until we close the cat flap at night and bring the litter tray back out. Then it's synchronised pooping and a relieved look on their faces. |

Then it's synchronised pooping and a relieved look on their faces. Dig your lawn up, rotovate it, get the pH to 6.8, have the soil tested (not cheap for an everything test). Then spend £5 a plant on 400 plants..... then plant them, monitoring NPK levels till August. That should get them shitting in your garden, well it works for next doors cats especially after the w**ker paved over everything removing flower beds, and leaving just grass and the odd plant pot. |

This is our Dylan. 14.1/2 year old sprocker spaniel. Had hime since he was 12 weeks old, best dog I’ve ever had. Never been an ounce of trouble. He’s succumbed to arthritis now so can’t go any further than the garden now, breaks my heart going walking without him. He’s been to the lakes, wales, Peak District, all over with us. Loves swimming and good as gold in any pubs or cafes. Dreading when that day comes.  |

The only thing I have that comes close to being a pet is a Cactus. Cost 50p from a charity shop and was the size of half a Polo mint. Now MASSIVE. She's called Cactopus.

Two black labs called Willow and Maple. Willow the eldest (3 1/2 years) is soft and kind. Maple is kind (15 months) but is certainly bold as brass and is the top dog. Both good retrievers and love the dummy work. Love em both.      |

Lol, the way Dogs leap into cold water. They obviously have a good memory of how it feels, but it just doesn't bother them.
