Pip, your animals are b-e-u-t-i-ful! I know what you mean about rats (Squiggle was so cute, and I love his name); our hamster chapter is one we don't revisit in our memories too often, it's such a desperately sad time of death, death and more death.
Idril, your dogs look very well fed, I mean loved. I personally don't want to sleep with a dog; I don't know why, I sleep with cats, same difference. They are smaller, however. But that picture of your son and dogs is definitely a keeper, one worthy of being framed and on the wall. That depicts a house one would want to live in.
Your cats are beautiful, Kiki, and I love their names. You guys are quite clever, and having fun with it, I see. I adore naming animals. Pip, we had a cat named K.C. when I was growing up, a siamese. Any one care to guess what that stood for? :D
