your pets

I have my golden retriever, Tika, who has her picture in a few of my tutorials on here and then three cats as well. Tika is 4 years, and my oldest cat, Windy, is 15 (I've had her since I was three), while my other two are about eight, but I adopted them both from the SPCA so I can't be sure.

I have one Westie who is called Rona and will be 12 on the 23rd. I want another dog for her to play with!

(ooh I love golden retreivers!)

we used to have 2 cats but they are gone

But we may be gettting a Kittie!

I really want a pet, but it's too cruel to get anything now when I'll be off to uni in a few months
Although if I go to the uni I've applied to that's close to home or I don't go to uni at all then I'll definitely be getting a pet of some sort!
I work in a pet shop, so every day I work I want to take all the animals homeeee.

I'm the same when I go to dog grooming and training! espeically when they're little puppies!

Well, I'm not really aloud to have pets so I have a gold fish named wilber, plant named woodly, and a pet rock named waffles!
Oh, ya I also have 2 chickens, but they live very far away!
Hoy and Harina (spanish for TODAY and FLOUR)

I have 3 gerbils (Twiggy, Tiny and Quantum), 3 fish (Bug, Shinobi and Einstein), 3 aquatic frogs and 2 arabian spiney mice (Boris and Johnson)

I have a turtle

Does it have a name?

Darwin!!! there are videos of darwin about on the site

I want a beddlington terrier, or a sheltie or a daschund or a pomeranian!

I groomed Rona



I am far too ambitious I think. Took on too much when I only have scissors so I bathed and dried her, did her face, bit of her body, legs and round her paws but that took 2 hours and I realised how much I need clippers so I evened everything out and finished. If I had clippers I would have been quicker and then been able to concentrate on getting her face better but she was fed up. I have touched up areas since the photos were taken and we clean her eyes everyday and her beard every so often in between grooms but I was overwhelmed. I'll be cleaning her eyes and ears later. At college there is two of us on one dog plus the tutor to help guide us with faces. I also don't have a proper table, she was on the kitchen table with a noose I made from her old lead attached to a chair. She stood well for me she was very good which I knew she would be. It was a nice practice and I need more obviously! No one on grooming forums has commented on it yet...it's worrying me.

aww cute!

I think that's good grooming for just starting out!

thank you

when I finished I felt proud then suddenly freaked out and not many people commented on it apart from close friends and family! But I was being far too ambitious, i set myself up, but now I can see how to go about it next time!
