Intro to Our Pets

These are the pets we have (in the order they arrived):

1: Oscar the Cat
We got Oscar in 1998 when he was a little kitten. He was very pretty and also very unsocial. He has warmed up over the years, although he is still not keen on being picked up. Oscar likes to sleep in wardrobes and to eat raw chicken. He like to eat it so much that if he hears us cutting it up, he starts to make vomit noises because he is so excited.



2. Minnie the Cat
Minnie invited herself into our house in 1999. She was only a few months old and we suspect she had been abandoned by her previous owners. She was named Minnie as a shortened version of “Mini-Me” because she has a grey mark under her chin which looks a bit like a beard, and Adam had a beard at the time so they matched. He wanted to call her Beard-o.



3. Tuff Bunny
I bought TB around March 2006 as a present for Adam. He was the only bunny in the shop and his cost of $15 was within my meagre budget so it was fate. He likes to eat carrot and wake us up in the middle of the night by thumping his feet loudly. He lives free range in our laundry, and comes out in a cage when we are home. The dogs think he is VERY INTERESTING.



4. Saffy the Malamute
We got Saffy in November 2006 when she was only about 9 weeks old. She was very cute and fluffy then, with a mean set of teeth. She is still cute and fluffy, except now she weighs 41.5kgs. She likes to howl and always wants to be part of the action.



5. Ruby the RSPCA dog
Ruby was the last to arrive, also in November 2006. We chose her from the RSPCA. Ruby is a big sook who also likes to bark aggressively at other dogs and men. She is very clever and has just learnt to shake paws.
