Hey there everyone!

I'm a big fan of animals and in my time on the boards here I've seen a lot of people talking about their various pets and how much of a comfort it is to have them so I thought it might be nice for people to share their favourite photos or stories of their pets. If you don't want to share or if you don't have any pets then don't worry I'm sure you can still appreciate all the fluff and cuteness on display! To get things started here's my favourite photo of my dog Dexter tucked in and ready for bed. :d

    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    I’m on my phone so can’t post a pic (or at least, if I can, I don’t know how to) but we just got a new puppy recently who is sooooooo cute!! His name is Theo, he’s 14 weeks old and he’s freaking massive! Oh, he’s a Lab cross with a retriever!!

    Our old dog became such a part of our family (and we’d had her since I was 3) that it was just wrong not having a dog in the house for the last few months.

    @Rhys what a gorgeous cat! Here's hoping you still have plenty more days listening to her noisy meows :thumb:

    @independent_ I know what you mean, once you've had a pet dog for a long time your house just feels empty without one. So glad to hear you've got a new puppy though he sounds like a handful!

    Here's Pepper my Hamster when he was a little younger :) He's cute.  (he's also the same hamster as my profile picture only diiference he's in his sleeping place in profile picture, ) The box is just his taming/handiling box not his cage.

    He's currently 6 months and 3 days 

    All pets are cute :D

    Thanks we were orginally going to get a female hamster since my passed pets (another hamster and 2 guinea pigs had all been male) but his colourring just got me :) as i personally don't think it's a common colour :D  He's never bitten me though :D. He trusts me.  :)

    So great to see more of everyone's pets keep 'em coming!

    @Skive what a gorgeous dog, it's a shame that staffies get such a bad rep because they really are lovely. =)

    I love seeing animals! This is such a good idea because studys have shown that for some, looking at pictures of cute animals helps boost brain fuction! 
    This is Ango, he is a Ball Python who lives in my room at uni.
    Ash, a Brearded Dragon that belongs to a local collage so i take care of her over the summer.
    And Kiya, my scruffy fuffy dog who lives back home and I miss her so much

    Hey @Kasa2103 Unfortunately I can't seem to see the picture through the link you have posted, how about making a screen shot of the picture and posting that? :)

    Here is Shadow- one of my darling cats. As you can tell, she is very lazy and she loves belly rubs.

    This is my boyfriend. He isn't my pet but it is an animal that I love as equally as a pet.

    Our new neighbour has a pet Vulpes vulpes(red fox)  I haven't managed to get a photo yet because he's a fast boy but it's a joy to see him running around and making those adorable little noises ❤
    I'm just delighted it's a red and not a fennec, boy can fennecs scream 😂

    It's great to see this thread picking up some steam, keep it coming everybody!

    @Kasa2103 all those pets look really great, very cute photos of them all.

    @Past User ooh now that's an interesting pet you don't see many of them domesticated. I'm looking forward to seeing a photo if you can grab one. :p

    Here is Cinnamon Bun, don't worry my snake is too small to eat rabbit and I'd never let that happen anyway. I got Cinnamon for £1 from someone who just wanted to get rid of him :( but now he is happy here and has loads of space to play :)

    These are not actually my pets but I love them just as much as my own pets. They are my friends pets but I see them most weekends and school holidays. The top photo is Max. The middle photo is Oliver. The bottom photo is Skye  (a boy- sounds strange.) Max and Oliver are both Labradoodles (labradors and poodles.) Oliver thinks that Skye is a moving, squeaking, pooping chewstick but he is not. He does poop  a lot though and once pooped on my jumper, in the shower, in a washing up bowl being used to wash him and on a towel. He is so cute, loves me, sits and falls asleep on my boob, hides in my hair and loves hugs and to sit on my chest whilst watching films.

    I used to have 2 guinea pigs and hamsters which passed away a few years ago and last middle of year  unfortuantly can’t have pets at the moment because of landlords.
