what have we done to deserve pets?

I looked after my neighbours cat, Coco (in picture) when her owners would go away on holiday.The most amount of time they were away was a month over Christmas and I loved every second of it. other times I would drop in and check on her, but if our doors were open, Coco would come and visit anyway - as she lived downstairs. I have also taken care of dogs for up to a week at a time, enjoying their company and taking them for all the walks! I have realised it is important to have animal friends in your life!
