    That is so sweet..
    I've been forgetting how amazung puss-cats are...since my world was taken over By A Bunny !! She's as big as a cat & twice as Fluffy...
    After mr Kitten passed I never thought I would have another Pet...
    They say Bunnies find you !!
    This one certainly did...she's become my heartbeat...I 'll have to find a way to post a pic of her...I 've never been able to capture any of her awesome self in a pic...She's a divine Beauty glistening & Golden..Then I take a pic and its like "Oh where's her face ? She's just a little Fluff ball !!
    She's a Queen and rules in her own silent way. ..She's also disabled ,so truly one of us..I admire her so much..I'd love to share her with you and the world...Love to your Little friends xx

    My best friend, he keeps me sane, gives me a purpose and gets me out of the house!! 
    My partner is at home all day on his own when I work and he said our dog Bandit stops him from getting lonely.

    Well  heres Tina Buns Fluffy Tail !
    As I sed I can never seem to get her wholeself in2 one frame..I cant seem to do her justice ! 
    For 8+ yrs...I  just follow   this this little tail ..
    Other pic is her napping like a true little fur baby, safe in my arms..xx
    Just visible her little fluffy front paws..She's so good, as day breaks she'll use those little paws, by licking them ,then cleaning her whole face and long ears...She also routinely cleans b4 b'byes and on waking up !!
    So good !
    She established these little beauty cleaning rituals from such a young age...I like to think her Mum showed her how,? Little fluff was sold at just six wks .old..to a young! couple ;
    They planned to take her and leave her in a rescue..!!after just a couple of mths. 
    She never fails to carry's out her cleaning rituals I
     While I'm bleary eyed in the morning, shuffling about.She will be clean and proper ,bright as a button and ready for breakfast...xx

    @WestHam06 Aww, what breed is your dog?  And, what's he called? :)

    @BunnyBabs @Charlieniblett Your furry friends are totally adorable  <3  It's really clear that our pets make such a positive difference to all our lives.  They are an extended part of the community!

    Here's two of my babys Angelina the dog & Rex the cat.  I have an African Grey parrot too that I'll show you.  They are my everythings. Don't know what I'd do without them! When I get home from a hard day at work they cheer me up.  They are there for me too when I'm feeling alone and down.

    Hi everyone, my eldest son bought me a dog for my 50th birthday last year whilst we were all in lock down. He brought the dog(my meila) to see me almost every day, he bought me everything I needed for her and he house trained her to a good level and she has been a life saver for me, kept me company when I was lonely, listened to me moaning, crying and never ever judged me, she is an amazing little lady I love her so much, she brings me joy. My son calls and walks her twice a day as I can’t. I would never be with out her.

    It's funny how animals possess such amazing qualities...sort of what we look for in other humans but dont always find....Although they cant speak we gain a rapport wiv them.They still use thier tounges to communicate...but thier toungues do not lie or say hurtful things, they're niether contentious or beligerent and they dont hold grudges...Just amazing..little friends ,who keep our hearts warm and happy..
    Your little friend looks playful..and cosy..Your son knew just what you needed. Happy to hear and see the pics.
