I’ll always remember that look as I fed them…

In 2000 I met Poppy, a pretty Ferret. She dived into my heart and stayed there for years. She knew I was her Mama and at the sound of me saying,’Mama’s here!’ She’d come running to me.

In 2002, I was looking for food for Poppy and I soon came to realize that I was heading straight for the Ferret’s. I smiled as they all played around. In the end, I chose two. Both boys who were neutered.I named them Riggy (Rigs) and Chip.

I loved the way that whenever I fed them, they’d just look up at me and scamper to their feed bowls. I loved them dearly…

Then disaster struck. In 2007 Poppy became poorly and I decided to put her out of pain. For a while, Riggy and Chip were upset. I was too. Regrettably,in 2012, Riggs was diagnosed with cancer a week before he died. Because of his loneliness, Chip’s died in June.

Back in 2000, I brought him. My Pussy. He was a brown and white cat with blue eyes. When we got him from Cats Protection he was 7 years old. But That was long ago. Then in 2002 he died of a kidney problem. I was heartbroken. There was a time in 2001 when he caught a mouse. And when he played with our dog Bilbo. That Time. I will never forget him! xxx

 

by Kira / Green forever x

My reflection is of my white Moggy cat, Green Boy. The reason for his name was because of his love of green. He always turned green because of the grass. But he was the greenest and the greediest! When I got him from his sick owner he was 10 years old, brought in 2004. Green Boy lived till he was 13. He died a week before his birthday. Some time I know he will be busy catching mice and having food.
I just know he’s green!

Brindle was a brindle coloured Hamster, who we got in April. Later on in July, I put him in his ball. Unfortunately, my dogs injured him and he died. But I’ve never forgotten his trust in me and how he made his own cave. How fast he ran on his wheel. I will always love him. xxx

 

Hugo by Kate / Goodbye

Hugo was the dog that made me happy. He’d had been very badly abused. ~ Kate

Kate is my friend. She brought Hugo from his terrible owner in 2007. He was so scared that he wouldn’t let Kate stroke him.

After a while (3 months later) they became friends. Everybody loved Hugo and we miss him dearly.

He died a peaceful death at his home, sleeping.

 

Hammy by Kira / My Little Hammy!

On the 17th of February 2010, I brought him. He was only young, but so adorable! We took him home and he was the best! In a thew days he was able to be held. The most memorable time was when he bit me. I bled but it did not hurt. The reason was because of me not washing my hands after eating crisps! So anyway the next was when he pooed on my mum’s sofa and I had to clean it up. But he ran under the sofa and right to the back.Then he managed to get in a cupboard. I loved him. Soon he got really old and died. We buried him with a rock on his grave. He was never forgotten.Love you Hammy! xxx

 

Nutcracker by Kira / Forever in my heart x

This is about my love of Parrots.

Nearly 12 years ago, I brought Nutcracker. She was a beautiful parrot with a great personality. She helped me a lot. Back then I had just moved into my new house and I needed a companion. So I got her. Sometimes I let her out and she flew around the house. I am a vet so I soon noticed her odd behavior. I took her to the vet and I found out she had a lung problem. I decided it best to put him down. We took him home and the vet put him to sleep. Before he went he made a noise almost like ‘I miss you’. After wards I took him to the garden and buried him. He was never forgotten.

 

Cheese by Kira / Love you!

My love. This is me. I love animals and I am a vet.

When I first moved into my house I only had Cheese. He was crazy. I re-homed him. He had had a Mental Illness so he needed special treatment. Somehow I knew he was going to fade on the special day.

It happened when I realized my shoe was gone. My painting started to fade. And so did he. Cheese faded. Then, after he died, I became ill. Now I am better. I will never forget him! x
