Oh, Neil - your dog is so cute. Such a cute face. Awww...

And Becky - I always thought your avatar was a a stuffed animal So cute I thought it was!

I don't have a pet. In fact I've only had a couple of turtles (or tortoises? the water ones ). One died and the other grew so much we had to take it elsewhere where it could swim properly and all that.

Would love to have a dog if it wasn't because I find it too bothersome to have to take them out for walks and I live in the city centre and the poor thing wouldn't have "space". Cats I'm extremely allergic to so let's say I'm not in good terms with them :P
