I had a pond, with pre-loved shubunkins in - until Sophie ate them, just after I'd 'adopted' her - there's gratitude!! :-( |

We inherited a cat last year.He just turned up and has made his home here.I waited a couple of months while trying to find any owner.Then had him microchipped and vaccinated .Also insured him(THANK GOODNESS).He went missing a few weeks ago ,and was then found by a neighbour injured in her garden.He has had a major op on his hind leg.Removal of the head and neck of the femur :-(..So far the bill has racked up to about £1,500 !.He is recovering well :-D Just need to keep him on restricted movement for another month or so.I bought a harness so I can take him in the graden fora bit of fresh air and a little exercise . |

Over the years our house/garden has housed hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs & dogs that family members & friends could no longer look after. |

Hi Shirley, your family inheritance as well then. As you know, we are not allowed to sell them now. Sammy is a fussy eater, loves strawberries, not the foreign ones as they are too hard, only the smaller tomatoes as well as they are more juicy. Remember when we drilled holes their shells, he still has them but of course the string wore through on the shell & we would go out & find a long bit of string with no Sammy on the end. Thankfully as time went by mum got more educated about him & had a run made for him but even then he burrowed underneath & the run would be empty. Where he is now he has no escape but plenty of space. Can't believe he has been in our family now for 56 years. |

My sister has inherited the tortoise she found in 1960. It was 6/5/1960, the day Princess Margaret got married. She found it walking on the pavement out side our house & brought it in. Mum put notice up in window but nobody claimed him. We named him Sammy, God knows how many times he escaped but we always found him, sometimes weeks later. My mum loved him but when she got dementia we realized she was'nt looking after him properly. As 1 of 6 children we then started saying what shall we do with him but we then said to my sister as she had found him we thought she should have him. She did & he has a lovely space in her garden. Each year about March the whole family are relieved to hear he has survived another hibernation. We call him our family inheritance. |

I have inherited my brothers GSD and had him for two years he is now ten. My brother had two brain haemorages and Apollo came to lve with me. I find that I cannot move without him at my side he even waits outside the bathroom door for me and behind the front door when I have to go to the shops. |

I once inherited a grey African parrot. He must have escaped from somewhere 'cos he just flew in through the window one summer's day. I left the windows open so he could return but no he hung around so I started feeding him. Notices of "found parrot" drew no response except that locals thought I was a bit touched. The then senior cat had no objections. |
