Animals have always played a huge role in my life as they continue to do. In my childhood we had various dogs (a Collie, 2 New Foundland dogs, 2 Dachshunds), several cats, budgerigaries (I myself had one named Felix), chickens, at one point in time my oldest brother had a turtle (named Sokrates) that we “took for walks” in the garden. Beyond that I visited a farm regularly that had horses, chickens and guinea pigs. When I moved on my own cats became my big passion as these lovely creatures visited my small garden often. ….
Here is Tinkie (actually Tinkerbell, she originally came to us with a red rollar that had a bell so we always knew when she was “in the house”), my lovely female cat.

And here we have Tarzan my lovely male cat.
