I have had pets all my life. My father was a pet lover and I grew up surrounded by pets. Now that I have retired from teaching, I also have a menagerie of pets in my house, a double-storey house with front and back garden. My husband and I have dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds and fish. I love all animals and actually prefer them to some people. In my community blog, I have a page for SPCA and Petfinders at: http://tsnra.wordpress.com/useful-links/community/spca/
