    Previously we have had two large rough collies.  When the second one passed at 14 years old, we decided we wouldn't have any more dogs.
    Enter Barney, a small Yorkie/Pomeranian!  My daughter wanted us to have him, but we kept refusing, saying we didn't want any more pets.  However, we relented, and our granddaughter named him, and we brought him home at 8 weeks old.
    Barney doesn't take any prisoners!  He demands his first walk at the crack of dawn.  He is still working on summertime.  When he returns, his chicken dish is waiting for him, then he wants to play ball, especially when I'm cleaning.  As soon as our son returns home, his next walk is due, and he circuits the settee in excitement until off pounding the pavements.
    He's 14 years old now, and still a feisty little fella, but we would hate to be without him.

    We got a second cat (kitten) because the first was lonely.
    We got a 2nd kitten because whilst the cat was happy, the kitten was lonely.
    After 5 years we got another cat because covid and we had gone mad.
    We got a 5th cat because we hated seeing abandoned cats in shelters due to feckless owners who shouldn't be in charge of a pet rock.
    We did loose our eldest cat just before no. 5 arrived.
    We're now considering another cat.
    I think we're mad!
    May you find your sister soon Helli.
    Sleep well.

    Look at the OP's threads. They ask specific questions and do not return to them.

    Is it just me or are they looking for sensitive details that could be passwords?
