My parents recently unearthed this picture and sent me a copy, so I thought we could share pictures of our pets and maybe share any amusing stories about them. This little guy was caled Ollie. We took him in after a family over the road got him from a rescue centre and they said he wasn't getting along well with the dog they already had. He came with his name and it seemed kinda cruel to change it since he knew what it was.
He also came with a huge appetite. While at the house of a family friend, he decided to jump up on the table when no one was looking and dispose of a plate of sausage rolls and most of a victoria sponge cake. He was noticably fatter... you could actually see that he was fatter... and threw up about 5 minutes later because his body just wasn't designed to take that much food.
Shame he came down with a cancerous tumor in the end... he was only 8 and since he was in such good health (he'd still got as much energy as he had the day we got him aged 2) other than that, I reckon he'd have hit 11-12 no problem.
