 MY
PETZ RULE, don't yours? They rule my home and govern when and
where and for how long I can go away but they also rule my
heart! Without them, my home would be a poorer, lonelier place.
I've had many pets over the course of my life - dogs, cats,
birds of all sorts, mice, spiders, ducks and even snakes and
each one had its own personality and pros and cons. This site is
dedicated to the memory of those
faithful pets who enriched my life and in most cases gave me unconditional love and
companionship! Here you'll find
information on all types of pets and different breeds, how to care for
them, and a place to share your stories and photos.
Send in your photos with a brief
description and details and you'll be able to share your pets
with other pet lovers or just show them to the world. I'm
also adding some of those email photos of animals that seem to
do the rounds from time to time as they are so cute. All
copyright of these is acknowledged and if anyone has any
objection to me including them here, please email me and I'll
remove them.
Send in your stories -
funny, sad or a loving tribute and share them with others who
enjoy pets as part of their family.
Pets make great companions for all people - young and old,
as well as families. The trick is to find the type of pet that
is right for you and your living situation - obviously it's no
good wanting a horse if you live in an apartment!! Then you need
to decide what sort of pet you like that will fit in with your
environment - be it a cat, dog, bird, reptile, or any
other type of domesticated animal.
You should also choose a pet based
on what sort of animal suits your personality and life
style- if you like taking long walks then a big, active dog
might suit you or if you're more the couch potato type, a cute
kitten to curl up by your side might be the go!!
Many pets end up at the pound or
RSPCA, or
dumped each
year because they grew  too big, didn't suit the type of family
who bought it or their lifestyle or just became grown up and not
so cute and cuddly. Owning a pet of any type is the same as
bringing a child into your family and needs the same amount of love
and commitment that you give your child!! If you aren't prepared
to have your pet with you for up to 25 years depending on the
type, then don't get one or get one that doesn't require as much
attention. Check the list below for High, Medium and Low
Maintenance type pets:
