'Brick' the Cat. He was called this because he was the only surviving member of his litter. All the rest of them were put in a sack with a brick, and thrown in a pond.

Its a long time ago but i remember the cocker spaniel we had when I was a kid. she was an all black girl with long ears that mum used to peg up so she could eat her food cos her ears would dangle in her bowls otherwise. We called her Betty altho her kennel name was Lady Betty Lou of Sian. We had her for ten years until one day the stupid bin men left the back garden gate open and she was on heat and she went!!. We looked everywhere,even phoned battersea dogs home in case ,but she was never found. Shirley

We had a couple of guinea pigs, called Pinky & Perky, but one got stolen and the other died 2 days later (broken heart?), and a 'family' cat called Korky, who became 'mine' because I was the person he savaged least - although I still have a scar!! I was about 2 and remember catching flies and feeding them to him. He was put down when we returned to England when I was 5. maggie
