This is my cat Stoofer, he lives at home with my Dad because he wouldn't be able to handle London, he's a total scaredy cat but ever so handsome - and doesn't he know it.

To show how pet mad we brits are i placed my dog on face book (or fake book as i call it as who has over a thousand friends? it's just a popularity contest) I then sent all the people i know and one's i didn't know a friends request and after a just month he now has nearly 200 friends. My mother-in law said how sad i was to do this, but i added that i wasn't the one to reply to a dog asking to be my friend on a website, which she had just done, she laughed, went red and said oh yeah i didn't thnik of that. It's not every day you get one over your mother-in law, love her to bits though. 

For those thinking of getting a dog or pet he's an overview from my point of view.

 We Got Ozzie from a rescue centre aged just 5mths and have had him a year, after many years with the kids begging and me my wife she finally agreed and the change in all of us has been for the better, the kids have learnt how to care for someone other than themselves and has given them a sense of responsiblity that they would only learn when they have a family of there own, and my wife and i are enjoying taking ozzie on long walks where otherwize we would be sat in front of the telly. He has added so much enjoyment to our lives and is great company for my wife when i have to work late and finishing off a kitchen for a customer. Everyone says how cute he is and when out walking him people with or without other dogs often stop and talk to us where before they would just walk by and ethier ignore or just smile , it's a great ice breaker so if your lonely and need a freind just give a dog a chance, thanks for reading Guy (DKD)

Hi, I have  a13 year old mongrel called Macie. She is never ill and is like a 6 month old pup. She is extremely intelligent and very loving. I have always had dogs and was a foster mum for various dogs home, which was heartbreaking at times,as I bonded with all of them and was ever so sad to let them go, and they had been abused beforehand so badly, but when a loving permanent home was found it was so exciting and I felt happy to know another dog had been saved.

i have a Border Terrier called Rossi absolutely adore him hes nearly 2 and a proper character
He is all terrier though and woe betide any cats or dogs we meet on our walks so sadly cannot let him off the leash as we'd never get him back!

he is a bit like me in that he is not happy in the hot weather we are experiencing a the moment and hides indoors for most of the day then going a bit barmy around 10pm when it cools down

walks having to be taken when its cooler but there is a little river running through park by us (more of a stream really) so he does get to go for a paddle
his favourite toys are old coke/pepsi bottles and if he sees you drinking one he gets all excited waiting for the empties

Just need to ask how can I upload a picture, It won't let me and I can't see (rather it flicks on and then disappears quickly) anywhere else
