they really do! some of these are old pics we have recently moved to Wales so I will get some more recent ones and the bird room is a work in progress!! I don't have a job at the moment as we have just moved but when I do it will only be part time so I make sure I always have enough time for them, the bunnies and pigwigs don't take up too much time really, they have the free run of the garden and are free to come and go as they please, I like them to live a natural life so they aren't really tame, they get handled to have health checks and that's about it really, although they all come running when its feeding time!! my days are dedicated to the birds and dogs and when they all go to bed its then my time!! im a bit of a recluse really, don't go out much, its really just me, them and the partner

Maroon 5 on constant at the moment, Jo likes anything up beat and noisy like me! I have had dogs before but when my mum died and the kids left home, they both live an hour and 2 hours away I have no one to look after them, do it is just me, hubby and Jo.

it is difficult, we have just moved from Devon to Wales so no one close to us either! to be honest cant remember the last time I had a holiday, this year my brother is getting married up north so will have to arrange animals for that, am excited to go obv but scared of leaving the animals, I will worry about them constantly!

What a family you have. No wonder they take up your time. I have a spot for guinea pigs. They are so friendly and easy to tame. Quite clever as well. Noisy some times. Nice to meet them all.

thankyou I have to be honest and say I they weren't really my cup of tea! not an animal I ever wanted to keep much prefer me rabbits but my partner has always had them so we got some and they really have grown on me, they are so sweet! two of them are brothers and they are always falling out! the short haired one has a deformed front leg, so did his brother but sadly we lost him, think it was bad breeding or possible not having enough calcium when developing but it doesn't hinder him in anyway, our old house they used to be in sep pens but here we thought we would see how they all got on and so far so good as you can see from the pics :)and they are noisey! our late CAG would imitate them!

What a lovely bunch of pets. Holiday, can't even remember what that's like. All my time is taken up with my pets and home educating my son. For instance, today was doggy spar day. He has had a full clip (he's a Bichon cross so doesn't moult) and bath, later he will have his nails clipped, his face trimmed up and his warts treated. Can't do it all at once as he's 14 this year so needs to rest in between treatments. I even hate going out for a few hours these days as Teddy, the dog, cries when I leave him, everyone else can leave the house but I am told he just sits by the door crying until I come back.

Gosh, I'm tired just thinking about the amount of time it must take to look after all of these animals, who are all gorgeous by the way. Because my two are out all day, I feel as though I'm always running after them, cleaning poop, hoovering up wood shavings from their balsa, etc etc,

oh really, that's sweet, yes he is a whippet and you are so right! once they have had a run they are like couch potatoes! yes its a lot of work but they are all worth it, I actually have just received an email from the charity I am part of and it looks like ill be taking in an orange winged amazon who needs a lot of help bless her, it helps having a bird room, its a safe room for them and they can be free but they get plenty of interaction from me and are on a rotation as the big guys cant come out with the little ones and the buds are in the lounge at the moment, cleaning, training, walking, cuddling its an endless busy day! I get up between 5 and half past everyday and its a long day but totally worth it
