Welcome to our world
We had always had pets.
We had always had fully functional pets.
Leg at each corner, eyes that see and ears that hear you coming from ten-thousand paces. Normal, if albeit often rescued fully functioning members of the animal kingdom. Then we opened our hearts to a Border Collie pup born deaf & blind and inadvertently unlocked our door to a plethora of design fault creatures.

Ferrets
Various ferrets stayed with us over the years.
Some came as rescues and consequently some were then born here and moved on to new homes, some we lost to old age.
Some, needless to say were disabled (There were none in residence for three years)

April 2020
The world is in the grips of the COVID-19 Pandemic but we have a temporary visitor ... a little ferret found wandering alone and although advertised not claimed. So, it came here and is staying until restrictions are lifted and we can re-home. Name … 'Lockdown' (naturally) lol 'Loki' for short - Norse meaning 'Trickster' June 2020 - we've fallen in love and are keeping her. |
Fidget (Arrived 09.07.2020 - aged 8wks)
2020 Lockdown extended far beyond first expectations from the few weeks predicted when it started in March and so as Loki was not going to be able to move anywhere we decided she would stay and we would get her a playmate.

Baby Bandit (July 2021)
One drawback of lockdown was that vets were only doing emergency work so there was no chance of getting Fidget snipped.
In our ignorance we thought we had managed Loki being in season ... but she surprised us all by having this little one.

Pharos (ginger)
When we moved to Scotland he decided to take-up residency with a neighbour so now lives a few doors away.
Rescue cat joined us in 2007 (age unknown)
The cat rescue he was to go to sent a notification after we had collected him that they couldn't take him after all.
So, he was never really supposed to be ours.
