Default Pets & Family Additions

Out of interest, it seems to me that almost everyone we know has made an addition or two to their brood since arriving in NZ. Be it a new baby or a fur baby.

It's all vey tempting, being able to walk into a pet shop and buy a kitten or a puppy off the shelf. So who has and hasn't been able to resist those cute bundles of fluff.

New life, new pets, new babies, they all seem to go hand in hand - so how much has your family grown since arriving in NZ?

Poops, wanted to add a none of the above to the poll, but don't know how!

We've added to kitties to our fur family.

We added two kittens last January.....and they have plagued the hell out of me ever since. But I love them really and would be sad to lose them
I have been presented with many different types of wildlife in the last year - I would never have seen a lizard if it weren't for these two....

Oh my, you added a dead mouse to your collection too. Life with young cats is never a dull moment. Who knows what they will get up to next and you can only but laugh.

My most recent blog entry was about mice!! They really did my head in last week!! But like I said, I love them really. Poppy (the tortoiseshell) has already had one litter of 3 kittens. We are going to have one more litter and then get her done

Boo and Woo. A pair of naughty and demanding pekin ducks.

They went on to have their own family over the summer so havoc reigned supreme.

These ducks are personal friends of ours.

Duck shooting season starts May 1st. Our immediate neighbour will be out there stocking up his freezer with Mallards and Greys.... but no Pekins, despite the fact they like to visit with him.

So if you start seeing oranges in the garden beside them, is he marinating them?
