The kitten abandoned me.

Maybe it decided to get out before it was put on washing up duty!

I've had a couple of dogs
Timmy for obvious reasons
Bisto - because he was brown and thick
Woody - this is a bit harder but we think from when Toy Story first come out as he's about the right age and its the one we stick to.

I have 1 fish that I decided to call Bubbles when the other fish died otherwise it would of been confusing! We have a rabbit called Nibbles. We used to have a guinea pig called Shadow because he was black. We also used to have two hamsters called Salt and Pepper because Salt was white and Pepper was black. Now we have another two hamsters called Taco and Mcdill.

My cats were already named (Mills and Marmalade) when I had them so no choice there. We also have 4 hens and a cockerel I vowed not the name them as they were never intended to be pets but eventually their descriptions have become names! Miss Brown, Miss Black, Miss Grey, Big Beak. Not wanting the cockerel to be left out we called him Colin and believe it or not he does come when called

Why not Mr Beak? Instead of Big beak?

The real Moonraker would never abandon you, old thing.

He is a she

and Miss Big Beak is too much of a mouthful.

Oh, Is Miss Big Beak the cockrell?

Cockerels are males.

Oh yes, how stupid of me!

Colin is the cockerel although strictly speaking he is a rooster as cockerels are cockerels until they are a year old.

He's a noisy boy and his dad lives next door. They have a "cock-a-doodle-do" off as soon as day breaks!

Can you have fresh eggs every morning if you have chickens?
