Ah, I see. Then please give her extra treats in lieu of pets

They're absolutely gorgeous! Give them both a hug from me

I'm so sorry for your loss. Nest in peace little Sage x

I love my cuddly chooks.
Amethyst is a particularly good name, btw

The bride and groom whose wedding I'm trying to edit and retouch may disagree with him!

He's still here. He had a bit of a run around the garden, but he's back on my knee.

It's never enough. He's insatiable for cuddles

Gizmo thinks it's always pet time.
I love him so much

Completely agree. As an 80s kid, I feel lucky that the stories I was told involved people finding an object, or being in the right place, nothing to do with hidden heritage. One book here or there wouldn't change things, but when everything is about innate superiority, there's a problem.

Stunning!

Look at that little face! Clearly the best boy

He does give excellent hugs

He's very huggable, and slightly stinky.

Bilbo thanks you for your admiration, and promises not to poop on you (a courtesy he doesn't grant me)

She is back in hug mode now she's almost finished moulting, and it's wonderful
