Growing up in the suburbs of SE Queensland, we always had pets. From dogs, cats, birds, chooks, goats and I believe one of my brothers had a snake for a short amount of time.
My pets as an adult have been ~
Venny captured by G Sept 07Venny who decided to adopt us about ten years ago, when I was still living in my hometown. She stayed with Charlotte, the lady I had been living with when I moved to the GC. All these years later, the girls had a ball with her when we briefly lived at Charlotte's before moving to Dubai.
TobyIn our first year living together as a couple, we decided to get a dog. Along came our cheeky boy, Toby, a sweet shar pei. Six months later, his sister Bailey was born and we fell in love with her the day of her birth when we held her in the palm of our hands.
BaileyThey grew with our family and it was hard to say good-bye when we moved over here. Maybe when we live somewhere more suited, and are not planning on being away for long stretches of time each year we will have some pets again.
Thanks, Two Peas in a Pod for this theme. It has been fun sharing. To see lots of other pets, pop on over to Three Buttons.
Thanks for sharing Lisa. Your pets are stunning. Bailey and Toby are super cute.

Bailey looks so cute! It is hard when you move around having to say goodbye to family, friends, and pets!
ReplyDeleteThose dogs are so adorable...maybe you'll meet some new pets soonish.
ReplyDeleteI had to look and look and look before I saw Venny. ;-) The dogs are really unusual looking to me. I've heard of them but never saw one. Hope you get a chance for a 4 legger in your future.
ReplyDeleteCute pets!!

Aren't they gorgeous! It's hard saying goodbye when you have to move around. Hope you're reunited again one day!
ReplyDeleteSuch character and soft soft fur. It must have been very hard leaving them behind
ReplyDeleteThey are really cute - I love all the wrinkles.
ReplyDeleteyour sharpeis are so cute!! It must have been very hard leaving them behind. I'm sure there will be more furry friends in your future.
ReplyDeleteOh, look at those lovely dogs. Venny looks like a real swetie too.
ReplyDeleteDubai was featured on Getaway tonight. It made me think of you.
Gorgeous pets! It's one of those hard things about moving around, especially to different countries, having to say goodbye to pets and not being able to get any more. I hope to get a dog once we move back to Brisbane next year.
