pets of the week
Larry is such a mama’s boy! He loves giving kisses and loves to cuddle. He is the best pet I have ever owned. — Michelle Rebenchuk, Winnipeg
Mama Kitty and her son Tiger love to cuddle up together on a cloudy rainy day by the living room window. — Norma Burkowski, Winnipeg
Tiger was a stray I took in many years ago. He loves to be outside and occasionally supprises me with interesting poses like this one. — Jeramey Sukhan, Winnipeg
Elwood joined our family 3 years ago. He was in the dark in the back of the pet store and picked bald by the other cockatiels in his cage. Of course, my son picked out the saddest little runt to bring home. Now happy and adjusted – he chatters and sings constantly while playing with his toys. He is the centre of attention and yells indignantly if you leave the room. Who knew such a small animal could take up so much room in our hearts? — Brenda Johnston, Winnipeg
