Hi. I joined this forum a couple of days ago for advice about some semi ferals I'm trying to rescue.
I currently have one cat - a blue British Shorthair called Shadow (posh name Carbonel). He's an indoor only neutered male and is 13 years young. We sadly lost his brother about a year ago to congestive heart failure. His name was Calidor (Cali for short).
I also have a 12 year old greyhound (who has also developed congestive heart failure...starting to think I'm jinxed!) called Pixie. He was a rescue dog who'd clearly been beaten before I got him. There's also Leah, a 4 year old labrador and Columbine (or Collie). She's a 10 year old exmoor pony who I've had since she was 18 months.
I'm a strong believer in spaying/neutering, and all my animals have been 'fixed'...well, except for the pony that is! I'm also an advocate of taking time to train animals and maintaining a trust and bond, as opposed to 'quick fix' solutions that deal with the symptoms instead of the causes (all too common in the horse world).
That's all I can think of for now. So...hi!
