Thank-you!
I'm 'Mum' to them all - even the older kids get my beady eye over their shoulders.
Both dogs are rescues - Casper was neglected and pure wee Oscar abused and left scarred mentally and physically! He took a long time to bring round. Now he's the sweetest, loyalest and most protective little dog you could ever meet.
As for the birds.. I was interested in falconry for years and did a course with my younger son. We found we were more drawn to owls than hawks and after building a large aviary, bought little Pharoah. About 2 years later we bought the big boy (who looked like a carniverous furby at the time lol).
The hedgehogs are just another of our odd passions! I used to think why have a sweet'n'silky lil bundle o' fur when I can have a sweet'n'spikey little beastie - a satanic hamster lol!
Thanks for your interest!
Elaine
