In August 2000 we got the dog from the kennels, we named her Tara. She
was 6 months old and my son Kieron was 18 months old. They followed each
other all over and even got into trouble together, one time they were playing in
the back garden, I thought they were quiet so I went to check on them. The
full roll of toilet paper was all over the garden and Kieron blamed Tara for it!
In September 2003 we had our daughter Abbie, Tara was more scared of her
than the other way around because one time when I winding Abbie she was
sick all over Tara so every time I picked Abbie up the dog would run into the
other room.
Tara’s favourite toy is her teddy bear which she uses as a pillow. In April 2008
we got a rabbit for Abbie. Abbie loves it, after watching Alvin and the
Chipmunks we named it Alvin, but we later found out it was actually a girl, not
a boy but we couldn’t think of another name for her so she is a girl rabbit with
a boys name.
Abbie pushes Alvin around in her doll’s buggy and she just sits there and
doesn’t jump out. We were worried about how Tara was going to react to
Alvin, but it turns out we had nothing to worry about, as they are like best
friends lying in front of the fire together.
In October 2009 we got Keiron a gecko for his eleventh birthday. He named it
Ruby, but she turned out to be a boy! The only problem I’ve got with Ruby is
feeding him, as he eats live crickets!
This is the story of my family life with all our animals. Who knows which ones
we’ll get next?
Dawn tells us about her family life and the pets in it. Posted on 16/04/2010 at 11:25:35
