Hi sam here,

Bailey likes stealing toys my dads socks, remote controls, my lego and runs around laughing at you, he likes to sleep alot on his back with his feet in the air and snores like a pig. He likes to eat bubbles that i blow and when i'm in the bath he eats the bubbles and get hairs every where but i love him loads.

He's really cute Sam. I bet you have lots of fun. I don't live in New Zealand yet but I want a dog when I move there or maybe two.

I'm sleeping with bailey at night, he paces around then crashes on the floor and he had poo in the front room, because he couldn't get out and i didn't hear him. he's not a very good gaurd dog because he'll just lick you. He's not very bright when he was young he ran at the patio door, and couldn't see it was closed, THUMP. But other than that he's lovely and sleeps with me.

Ah, it's a little bit different. I took my son to the pet store to buy some special pets just for him. He's very nearly 9, so similar to your age Sam.

I thought that gerbils might be a nice pet, or maybe a hamster - but neither of these animals are allowed in New Zealand. We could choose from a chinchilla (too big for his room), birds (too noisy and messy for a bedroom), fish or rats and mice.

He chose two mice and has a cool Habitrail house for them.

Are hamsters popular in NZ?

We are having to leave three very spoilt and well loved ones here in the Uk.

Thumbs up Re: animals down under

Hi Sam
Since the last time i spoke to you we have adopted a puppy who is also a border collie cross and we have named him Torres (another liverpool player!)
Yes he poops and wees everywhere at the moment.
I would say dogs are still the most popular with cats coming in a close second!!

Here they are in the garden!
