I have a Jack Russell Terrier called Midge, who is 1yr and almost 5mths old and I love her to pieces, she is my fur baby much to the disgust of my human kids lol...
I also have a Horsfield (also known as Russian) tortoise, Shelley, who I have had for 2 years. As you can't really sex torties until they are a bit older, we aren't sure if Shelley is male or female, and as s/he was a valentine's present from my other half, the name 'Shelley' seemed to fit after the male romantic poet, or because it can be a girls name and of course because she has a shell lol...she (I always seem to think of Shelley as a girl regardless of not knowing the 'facts'!) lives in her two-tier tortoise palace in the winter, which I designed and built with lots of help from my OH and my dad
I am hoping to get hold of a second hand paddling pool (the solid kind) this year, as I want to build her an outdoor area, but there's lots of cats round here for one thing, so it would be nice to be able to cover it over when not in use to keep it nice and clean for her!
My middle daughter has recently started a tropical fish tank. We kept one donkeys years ago, but hadn't had any fish for a while. Its still in the process of being set up really, so at the moment there are only neon tetras, and a couple of gouramis in there...although she does have lots of plans for it! Its a 90litre tank so lots of space yet
I have kept cats, leopard geckos, tree frogs, cockatiels and finches over the years too, but most of them were rescued and have all now passed on. I adore animals, as a child we had dogs, goats, ducks, cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits...! I would have a whole rescue if I could...ahh well maybe one day, eh?!
