New Pets

I always swear that we'll never get any more pets, but two additions to the family arrived last night... our neighbor Dennis (pictured above) had to ditch a couple of goldfish. Rather than flush them down the loo he gave them to us.

My son Sam has named them Chester and Goldie. It would have been Dirty and Trousers, but we don't think Dennis would have approved.

Dennis has requested visitation rights for his fish. He will spend time with them every other weekend, and pop into our place several times a day. (He does that already, so that's no problem).

Our other pet, Tips, does not lick her lips when she sees Chester & Goldie. Instead she runs away. She's the first cat I've met who's scared of goldfish - are they pirhanas in disguise?
