Our Mad Pets

We have a mad dog, a deranged cat and a dead fish.

Tahli :Female dog, 8 years old last September 1st. Likes bananas, apples, going on picnics and camping. Tahli's happiest when riding on the petrol tank of the motorbike, or sitting in the car with her head poking out of the window. We know she is happy, because she'll howl like hell. She can't stand Kiwi the cat, or obnoxious people.

Twice a year Tahli is afflicted with "obdog". Unfortunately, there are no suitable boyfriends for her. So she spends about two weeks chasing and biting her tail, wimpering all the while. Drives us up the wall.

Besides that, she is a wonderful dog, full of character, full of fun.

Kiwi : Female cat, 4 years old this May. Likes eating foam rubber and paper bags. She also catches geckos and baby birds. She doesn't go after cockroaches or mice. She is happiest when she's flat out on cool concrete on a hot day. She loves to attack our ankles whenever she gets a chance. She is also into camping, but not too keen on the car ride.

She loves Tahli the dog.

Fish : Whoever said that fish are easy pets to keep was wrong. We really tried hard at first, fancy lights, regular water change, and the most expensive food. The plants refused to grow and the fish disappeared at an alarming rate. We bought more fish, these ones, the man in the fish shop assured us, could live in a sewer. A few weeks later they were goners.The latest stock are thoroughly neglected, and they are thriving.

We are confused.

News Flash!!!

*All fish are finally dead. But there's still one floating in the tank. Maybe it's feigning. No flowers please.*

**Our sweet Tahli dog had a hysterectomy on the 13th of September. Poor dog. But it had to be done. Get Well cards welcome.**
