kinda O/T - 1st pets
We've bought Spence a fish tank and 2 goldfish for his 3rd birthday. He loves them but if he had his way he would feed them hourly cos he loves watching them snatch the food as it floats down.
He also chose their names...Humf (a Black Moor) and Penny (a Calico Oranda). I think it's so cute!
In a couple of years we'll get him a rabbit or guinea pig but at the moment our garden is unsuitable for a hutch.
Has your LO (can we still call them LO in pre-schooler?) got their pet and what is it called?
What was your first pet?
I had 2 guinea pigs - Coco & Caramel.

we have two cats (had them before ds was born). They had always been quite wary of lo when he was little but they are getting better and I now keep finding them on his bed!!
Cats are benson (14year old tabby) and Harry (4 year old rag doll with one eye!!)
We also bought Shea his first fish a few months back, a black goggly eyed which he called Mike (after his oldest cousin in Canada) and a gold one (which he called Tom after Mike's younger brother)!!
Hubby would also like to get ds a rabbit but it will be who'll have to clean it out so I'm arguing that one at the moment!!
When I lo I had a bassett hound called Lucky and a burmese cat called Misty. we also had 200 racing pigeons (my dad still does), 10 chickens, a goat and a pond full of frogs and fish
I love animals and hope Shea will too!!

My SIL's is Trevor Clark!
murphy and tawney are the cats and beanie is the dog,she gets on so so well with Lennon,like peas in a pod where as the cats dont like to be annoyd which Lennon doesnt do to them but hes to hyper for them,they just sleep most of the time anyway
My first own pet was a gerbil called bubbles but we had a red setter called shane also
im after another dog next year,a bulldog so dont think i couldnt convnce hubby to get anything more lol ,we dont have grass in the back garden or id love a guinea pig but id also love to get rats again,they in my opinion are the best rodent you could buy for a child,hamsters are offy bitey and gerbils are hard to handle too but i had 5 rats when i was younger and they are fab,and so clean
if i had my way tho i would have loads of animals,im animal mad and i really want a goat
They have a wonderful friendship and I love to watch them together!
I grew up with a Golden Retriever called Kestrel and a Great Dane called Paddy, as well as numerous ponies and horses over the years!
My porn name would be 'Gumdrops Pert'!!!
