    A one-eyed black rescue cat called Murph.

    She's my shadow. :)

    I never had much luck with pets. My first pet was a dog who ran away. Then I got a rabbit but he was killed by the neighbors dog. Then I got some finches and they pecked each other to death. Finally I got a goldfish who committed suicide. He actually jumped out of the bowel I kid you not. I gave up after that.

    Aside from the canine - we keep hens and geese. Not sure many people would call them pets - though the hens are affectionate in their own way and have individual personalities that we have come to know. Geese are a little harder to get emotionally invested in - which makes Christmas time easier on us than them I imagine.

    Do capture wild rabbit every so often and keep them for awhile before eating them. Also not the friendliest of creatures - but there is a house ban on naming them just in case :)

    I have always wanted a kestrel or hunting bird of some description. Maybe in my retirement.

    I have the same when it comes to gardening, it's called a black thumb. Every plant I touch, dies. :eek:
