I don't know if this has been done but do you have any pets? Or do you enjoy interacting with animals.
not having home means that I have none but working on farms means connecting with new animals such as calves and sheep and other people's dogs and cats.

2 black cats, brother and sister Jet and Ebony.

Not unless you count wee splinter (don't ask) or my taxidermy ( ok I know its wrong n weird) Seriously I'm not really allowed any pets under my tenancy agreement n I don't want the commitment. When I was growing up my parents had a black cat As a adult I've had two dogs a German shepherd / Labrador cross and a German shepherd and later on I had a cat

I still mourn for Dinky, a hamster I had when I was eight years old... :'( ;D
The only pet I've had since then was a lovely black cat that me and my ex owned back in the late 90's... when we split she got custody of the cat. And to this day, I miss... the cat. ;)

Grew up with pets, pretty much always had them.
Got a 12 year old jet black cat called Misty ? ? ? and a 4 1/2 year old sandy coloured Great Dane x Staffie x English Bull x Shar-Pei called.......... Cromwell ;D :-*

My dogs:
Jeff

William
(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o14/jackroadkill/IMG_0213_zps3128d000.jpg)
Bruce
(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o14/jackroadkill/camp146.jpg)
Patrick
(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o14/jackroadkill/DSCF3101_zpscsfrlit6.jpg)
Bruce is now very old; he's at least 15 (can't be sure because we rescued him, but we've had him eight years and the vet reckoned he was a minimum of seven when we got him). He had an accident which partially paralysed him but he's so full of strength and character he refuses to let it get him down. Bruce, William and Patrick are all rescue dogs. Patrick's a mongrel (best mongrel there is!) and the other three are working English Setters. Jeff is a fantastic worker and I'm hoping that William will be too, in time.
William was rescued and when we got him was so frightened of people that if you stood near him he would go rigid, topple over and spontaneously urinate. He'd never been in a house before, even.
Our dogs are a huge part of our family and I wouldn't feel right without them.

Your dogs are beautiful, Jackroadkill
I have a big, yellow, smelly Labrador called Bruce. He's becoming elderly and less able to tolerate the junk that he is compelled to find and eat. But I love him. Just not the vet bills :-)
-
William looks like a lovely easy going dog. From what you said about him, you've done a great job. :)
Jeff looks a character. That pointy tong though, looks like he's eating a necktie :o

I've got 2 cats called Barney and Tigger that me and my wife adore. We had another cat called Charlie who we had put down a couple of years ago and I feel stupid and have felt stupid telling people that I have seen his ghost. Prior to that I haven't seen anything of a supernatural nature in my entire life.

For "animals", I have my back garden. My garden is quite sloped, we have a rockery to one side with a fish pond at the bottom fed by a pumped stream. The water running attracts much bird life from a near by wooded area which we like to watch. We get Tits, Black birds, Sparrows, Robins, etc. For some reason like clockwork at around 6.pm, the Wood Pigeons pay us a visit. They waddle around on the rockery and have a drink. We also have a bird bath, the Pigeons drink from it, while smaller birds bathe in it. We put food out in Winter, the rest of the year have a hanging bag of nuts. This Spring, three blue Tits started to appear on a daily basis. They would sit on the fence, it was a mother with two fledgling. The mother would go to the nut bag, take some nuts, then go to each fledgling and feed them in turn. This was fun to watch and went on for a couple of weeks. The fledglings watched and learned, then one day I saw the pair of Tits on my nut bag.

All but one of my Goldfish have disappeared from my garden pond :'( Not seen any activity for a few days, but then, they do like to hide under Lilly pads and such. Getting concerned, I emptied the pond today, found one fish and a frog !!
-
The frog did it. With the lead pipe in the library.
Always thought that frogs were kind of bastards. ;)
-
Hmm, you might be right, but if it was the frog he is an expert at hiding bodies :o
-
Was it a Giant African Bullfrog? They are hard bastard mentalists...

That's an impressive eater. I get like that sometimes after a few pints but with burgers rather than cockroaches.
No my new pet frog is a small dark brown fella about three inch long
