I have 2 dogs at the moment one is called Arkie and he is a border collie coss blue heeler. He is 11 years old and I adopted him from Rspca. He is a friendly dog and loves children. I have another dog named Bonnie who is 14 years old and also from the Rspca in Pearcedale. Today she has been diagnosed as having bone cancer and i and my partner are devastated. Before I had Arkie I had a doberman cross shepherd where i got him from Shepparton market years ago as a 6 week puppy he was another beautiful dog where he grew up on a farm where I also had cats, chickens, roosters, geese, goats and cattle. My partner and I at the time split up so a year later i got Rex and moved back to Melbourne. A couple of years later i had 2 cats named Tiger and Lucky. They lived a good happy life but are now in heaven. My dad bought my son an Indian Ringneck parrot and had him for around 14 years he died last year. As you can see I love animals and have looked after a wide variety of pets also including mice and gold fish.
