Mishka is thirteen years old and he arrived
on our front lawn as a six week old kitten with a broken leg.He hobbled up to me as I was washing the car so I took him to
the vet who fixed him up at no cost.The leg had possibly been broken from birth.
He has had a few scrapes but none so bad as getting hit by a motorbike and fracturing
his pelvis in five places.He disappeared for almost two days and we gave him up for dead until he turned up under a cupboard
and had managed to scramble through the pet door and hide.He has a permanent limp but it doesn't keep him from having a very
active life.He pleases himself when he comes and goes.He can be a bit of a smooch when he wants to be too.

| He is a free spirit and pleases himself |
Teddy was given to us at the age of about three months as his owners didn't look after him
and didn't want him.He was twelve years old when we had to have him put to sleep as he had cancer.He had a snoring problem.
We always knew when he was in the room asleep.He was not scared of dogs and would have a go at any that try anything with
him.He was a very cuddly cat though with us and we miss him.

Casey is the only cat we actually bought.He is a Himalayan Persian and a real baby and his
coat is really soft.He is very scared especially with children yet he's the most relaxed with us and his claws never come
out.
He is almost thirteen years old exactly.A few years ago he cost us $1100.00 in vet fees as
he developed crystals in his urinary tract that could have killed him.He had his urethra shortened to help prevent a further
recurrence and in effect he became a female as they had to remove his male organ.Now he has pills twice a day for the rest
of his life.

Tiara was given to us when she was two years
old and she became too hard for her owners to manage with her very long hair.She was attacked by a dog and had to have her
cruciate ligament in her knee repaired by a specialist surgeon.Big Dollars I can tell you.She is a lovely cat though but isn't
always accepted by the male cats so she hisses at them and makes it worse.She gets on best with Casey....We lost her to cancer
just a couple of weeks ago on February 22nd 2004 at ten years old.

| She is quite lazy and hissy with the other cats |
Stop Press News. ......After a few weeks grieving for our beloved Jasper and Tiara we were told to
get another dog or go to counselling.It had hit us so hard...Anyway we now have Monty who is another Black Standard Poodle.We
couldn't settle for any other kind.Monty is six months old and is very sociable with everyone especially kids and other dogs
and cats.
He will never replace Jasper in our hearts but he has his own special personality which we love already.

We have another addition with Shilo another Standard Black Poodle.He is a year younger than Monty and they get on really well
but have created chaos around our house and garden.They are so cute though and even though no dog could replace Jasper they
have a special place in our hearts.
