Losing a Pet - Ode to Mika.
Losing Your Pet leaves such a horrible, emotional feeling. When they pass away you can mourn them knowing they had a good life and you were always there for them. But when they upsticks and go, disappearing for no reason - without a trace, it is hard to let go of them. You hope that one day they will return and all the time pushing the mean thoughts to the back of your mind as to what may have happened to them.
This happened to me, with my much loved torti cat called Mika. In Spring of 2000 I thought I'd lost her forever. I hung 'Have you seen this cat?' posters up everywhere with a gorgeous photograph of her, the poster was bright and colourful created to catch anyones eye. She was the best, most faithful cat I had ever owned and for her to go missing was a massive blow. It was a loss I carried with me for a long time.
Then in the Summer 2009, I was riding my bike through the village down the road from us about 4miles away and this cat flew across the main road. Instantly, I recognized her but had to double check that it was her. So I clambered down the bank to where she'd gone and called her name 'Mika'. I heard a meow and there she was, she came running straight at me and settle in her favourite place, on my lap. Her purrs were louder then ever. We were two best friends reunited.
I asked the lady who owned the caravan park if this is where she was living now and she told me it was. Officially introducing them, I made the decision to leave her where she was, she looked happy and contented and settled. For her sake and at her age I did not want to change things for her again. This was a hard choice but a necessary one. I visit her regularly and she is still as playful now as when I first met her. But to know she is safe and well is incredible. A happy ending to the greatest cat I've ever known.

Pink Cat - Shock
Oh the things people do.
The hunt is on. This cat was thrown over a garden fence and found by the RSPCA in Swindon. It has been dyed PINK. The colour will fade but poor thing, dazed and confused is all I can say.

Animals at the Manchester Imperial War Museum.
Not only do animals have roles to play in war torn countries physically, emotionally they can be comforting in times of need also. These photos were taken from displayed pieces at the imperial war museum.
This Crocodile was huge it was made using used guns and empty bullet shells etc. Just amazing craftsmanship.
These toy dogs were made by Soldiers who could not afford to by presents for their children back home. They used what material they could get the hands on.
These old photographs were everywhere, this one in particular was in a room where there were drawers. These drawers depicted the lives of single people, couples and families who were there in these terrible times.

Informative help books using visuals with animals and insects.
This cast iron statue was simply gorgeous. The detail and textures on it, have a proud air about them.

When you've got the Munchies...
George Tortoise esq. (or George Porginson) is a much loved old (young) boy. He currently resides in the pleasant county of Shropshire, were he rampages frequently. http://www.facebook.com/pages/George-Tortoise-esq/106004676412?ref=ts is where people go to view George and his rampaging activities.
When Tortoises are referred to as slow, I'm now of a changed mind since meeting George. He must be Speedy Gonzales of the tortoise world.

Robo Exercise
I always loved to see the boys working together during their exercise. As roborovskis are generally communal hamsters, I saw fit to purchase a wheel suitable for a syrian sized hamster. This went down great guns as it cut down the amount of dominance over the wheel and they got on much better for it. They would spend hours and hours just running in their wheel all day long. Enjoy!
