My housemate wants a micro pig. My housemate also wants to dress this micro pig up in different outfits and carry it around like Paris Hilton carries around her little Chihuahua dogs. This is very strange to me, surely pigs are smelly dirty animals that are happiest when rolling around in vats of mud and being noisy. Our house is a very clean house where the only noise made is that of Whitney Houston blasting out some tunes on a Saturday night to help us get ready for a night out. I will not react well if i’m woken up by the noise of trotters on the kitchen floor and snorting as it raids the kitchen bin. She’s not allowed to get one!

Over the past few months my friend has been quite quiet about his relationship with his girlfriend, to the point we were actually a little worried that he wasn’t as happy as he used to be! About a month ago however he told us that they have got a cat together! Since then he’s been showing us pictures and videos of this cat chasing bits of string and climbing up the curtains. Following this, he has just announced that he proposed to her and she has accepted and now they are getting married! It seems the quietness was because he was nervous she would say no! They are nesting and getting the cat was a real show of commitment together. Some people really do see pets as part of the family, as it should be!!

We’re coming up to Christmas now as i’m sure you are aware and I am thankful that we do not have an office pet. The reason for this is because I know that cats especially have hours of fun tearing down beautiful decorations and even whole Christmas trees. A friend has also told me that a few years ago her dog got hold of a piece of tinsel from the tree and decided to take it for a walk; bringing the whole six foot tree to the ground. Today my colleague who site opposite and I have put up our miniature Christmas tree and are safe in the knowledge it will be staying where it is, unless the office scrooge decides it’s too early for Christmas that is!

People deal with the loss of a pet very differently. Some people immediately go out and decide to get a replacement and some people decide that it’s too painful and that they can’t stand the thought of getting another pet again. When my Gran’s dog died she decided that nothing could ever replace him, so she commissioned a local sculptor to create a statue of him in clay and to this day it sits by her fire looking very much like the living dog used to. This is a lovely way to remember a loved pet and reminds her of him every day .
