Getting to know you


My son and I were at the pet store buying dog food and I called him over to look at the budgies and rabbits. Wasn't really thinking about getting one but L almost persuaded me to buy a trio of quails. (apparently they come in threes, one male and two females. Typical huh?)
I had a canary as a teenager and I remember the process of cage cleaning and letting it fly then - the hard but, getting it back into the cage again.
I think if we're honest no-one likes to see animals in a cage but it's something we've bred over the years.
My son asked if he could have the little black and white rabbit that was looking fed up in the cage and - you guessed it - I ended up agreeing.
So now Flo is getting to know Zena the dog and I'm getting to know all about those little dry bunny rabbit pellet poos.
Great stuff. But the boy is happy.
