Animal Lover

I have a confession!  I am an animal lover!  A huge animal lover!  Lucky for me I live on 2.5 acres!

Over the years I have had many a different animal.  Thanks to my mum and her love of animals, the love was passed onto me!  As a child we had a rescue wallaby (a Rufus Betong), rabbits, horses and cats and yes there have been fish, penny turtles and dogs thrown in as well.

Now as an adult, with a soft heart, I have a few rescue cats as well as a breeding pair of Ragdoll / Himalayan Cats, currently 3 kittens, a rescue Ferret, a rescue Bearded Dragon and the many wild animals that we have tamed - Possums, Magpies, Rainbow Laurikeets, King Parrots and the ducks that swim on our dam!  A beautiful menagery for my children to grow up with!


(These are my three little kittens at the moment)

I honestly could spend my days surrounded with animals and not speak to a single human being!  I met this amazing bird today.  I had to get some supplies from the petshop for my cats and there was this big Green Amazon in the middle of the shop.  Yes you guessed it, I had to stop for a chat.  A very good vocabulary this bird had.  His name was buddy, apparently he is a Good Boy, so he told me.  He asked me "What ya doing?"  He laughed.  When it was time to go, I said goodbye and told him I'd see him later.  Do you know what he said next?  Is exact words were "Aww Don't Go!.  Awww I just had to stay and talk awhile longer.  I then found out off the petshop that he was just on 1 year old, can be a little brat, like a mischevious 5 year old.  He had been the petshops pet for the past 8 months and now that he had turned one it was time to find his forever home.

Now I'm just waiting on hubby to come home, and with big sooky eyes tell him how amazing this bird is..

What pets do you have at home?  Are you a massive animal love like me too?
