Pets!

We have had a great day today, just being in the garden and Baba has been playing with Tito and JoJo and Stewie.

He just loves being around animals, it is a real passion for him. After our holiday we are going to buy him some fish, Mr L does not yet know but we are. We have  a tank and now that I have found a place for it in the kitchen where you can see it all day everyday, we are going to get some!

As you can tell I encourage the whole animal thing. I think that it is great to have animals. When I was a child I wanted loads of animals. We had a dog and cat, and fish. We had a budgie for a teeny tiny bit but that was all we were allowed, when the first dog and cat died which where both my sisters, I waited a long time before I was allowed another one. So I have always thought that if my children want animals they can have them. I draw a line, at snakes and snails, can’t be dealing with them. Anything else I am ok with really. I just haven’t told Mr L my plan.

So we were out playing with the dog, chucking his kong around the garden today, and redoing the rabbits run. I have pimped it up a little. I put in some slabs, on top of one another so they have something to climb and can scratch their claws down, a pot with lettuce growing for them to nibble on, a box with some grass cuttings in so they have shelter and fresh food, there is a few dandelions in there as well, and a massive plant pot on its side, with dirt in and loads of hay to stop them digging. You know what it worked. I was so impressed.

They were in there for hours today having fun and no holes! Yeah! So here are a few pictures to show you.
