Age/Breed?

Smooth Hair Lurcher, Fawn Colour. 4 years old

Mark & Mags Lombard - Cork, Ireland

Where did you get her from?

We got her from 'Paulines Rescue Centre', in Newtownshandrum, Cork. She was only 7 weeks old when we brought her home.

Peggy-Sue has a bit of a funny tummy so is on a special diet, therefore she LOVES any normal human food that she isn't supposed to eat!

In front of the fire or out in the garden laying in the sunshine

Funniest Habbit?

Peggy loves to howl along each evening at 8pm with the alarm that goes off in the local refinery. She also does a lot of crazy sleep paddling whilst dreaming

Thanks Mags, I love Peggy-Sue...what a cutie x

Pet of The Week!

Merlin & Diesel

Owner: 

Jen, Auckland

Age/Breed:

Diesel: 5, He's a long haired domestic, with some Maine Coon in him. Merlin: 4, He's a short haired domestic with some Russian Blue in him

Where did you get them from?

I got them both from ‘Animates’. I worked around the corner from the store and one morning tea break my friend and I went there to see if they had kittens we could ooh and aah over. I had no intention of buying one before I walked in, but Diesel was so fluffy and cute and he was hogging the whole cat basket on his own, stretched out like a God with all the other kittens huddled in a corner away from him.  Apparently he was the favourite in the store and had all the staff wrapped around his over sized paws.

When I saw Merlin  I was with my sister and her kids, they had just had some bad news  so we went to the pet shop to cheer ourselves up and Merlin immediately stood out from the others. We asked if we could have a hold and he just clung to me happily and started purring and so I was hooked. I told my sister that if she didn't get him, that I would have to, because I couldn't just leave him there. I took him home that day. One of the few impulse buys I've never regretted. Merlin is my little darling.

Favourite Food?

Diesel: There are two things that get him climbing my legs with impatience: hot roasted chicken; and cheese.

Merlin:  Tuna and biscuits.

Favourite place to snooze?

Diesel:   Anywhere I don't want him to...usually on an item of clothing

Merlin: On my left shoulder when I go to bed. He gets really excited when I brush my teeth because he knows it's bed-time!

Funniest Habit?

Diesel: Hmmm... not so funny for the victims but he likes to steal paint-brushes ( the decorating kind!) He brings them home in the middle of the night to slay. The poor neighbours are half way through painting their house and wonder where the heck their paint brushes keep disappearing to.

Merlin: Hiding under the covers where he thinks no one can see him!!

Pet of The Week

'Harry'

Owner:

Vicki & Mike - Auckland

Age/Breed:

11 years old, long haired German Shepherd

Where did you get them from?

I got him as an eight week old puppy - he was the tiniest cutest bundle of fluff I had ever seen, with massive paws!!  He was a Christmas present from my mum and dad - my best present ever!!!  I loved him from the moment I saw him.  The whole family helped name him over Christmas dinner - can't remember who suggested 'Harry' but it just seemed to fit!  Other nicknames are Hazza, Harry Trotter, and Hairballs.

Favourite food?

He's not very food orientated - he prefers his tennis ball to food, and will often save his dinner for later.  But he will never turn down fresh meat or a piece of cheese!

Favourite place to snooze?

He has several favourite spots, but on a sunny day he loves to lie flat out under an overhanging fern bush in our garden - it completely covers him, and you can just see his legs poking out.  Often, if I can't find him, he'll be snoozing hidden under his fern bush. 

Funniest Habit?

Ever since he was a pup, he likes to doze off sucking on a cuddly toy. He turns it over, holds it between his front paws and dozes off sucking on its bottom!! 

Thanks Vicki, Harry is absolutely gorgeous.  The biggest ones are always the biggest softies :0)

Pet of The Week!

'Dozer'

Owner:
Jess, Owen and Isac Matthews, Auckland.

Age/Breed:

 West Highland Terrier will be three on March 18. Also known as Plumples, Dozer Dog-Face, Flufster, Scraps, Trotsky, Doda, and occasionally "oi! Get out of there!!"

Where did you get him from?
found his pic on trademe as a four week old pup, so we drove out to Franklin to visit him. As soon as he sat in the palm of our hands we knew we had to have him! His uncle now belongs to my mother and they have a great time together when they get to visit.

Favourite food?
Strawberries. Our bird netting is bird proof, but not dog proof sadly!

Favourite place to snooze?
Buried under the duvet at the end of our bed - he thinks if no one can see him he might get get to stay there all night.
 
Funniest Habit?
Constant licking of the air. He used to lick the carpet, we've trained him out of that one, but now when he's relaxed he will sit in his bed and lick at nothing. It's incredibly annoying!!

It's New...It's Exciting...It's 'Pet of The Week'

I LOVE animals and I love it when people blog about their pets and I get to coo over the photos.  At the moment I rely on this to get my 'animal fix' as we are not allowed pets where we are currently renting (boo to the landlord! )

So, from this moment on, I am officially dedicating every Friday to our funny little furry/feathery/scaly friends.

Therefore, without further delay I am very excited to give you my very first ...(dramatic pause.....drum roll... raucous applause...)

'Pet(s) of The Week!'

Cocoa & Guido

Owner:

Kelly - Auckland

Age/Breed:

Cocoa (Long-haired chocolate point Balinese female) and Guido (Short haired white point Balinese variant ), both 3 months.

Where did you get them from?

Lovely boyfriend who is allergic to cats. He did some research to find a low-allergenic breed, found a breeder with kittens available and then took me on a magical mystery tour to the farm to choose to kitties for my birthday

Favourite food?

Anything that goes at the moment. Guido's favourite has to be whatever is on Cocoa's plate. He inhales his own and then helps himself to hers.

Favourite place to snooze?

On keyboards, especially when you are working; on your lap when you are not; or on the top of their kitty tree when it's hot. Always together.

  

Funniest Habit?

Cocoa tries to sniff my eyeballs, Guido has a thing for my earlobes!! 

Thank you Kelly, Cocoa & Guido are 2 seriously handsome cats!
