Meet handsome boy Scampi! 🍤

He is a 7-year-old Patterdale Terrier whose sweet, playful personality has really been coming out in foster care! Scampi would be the perfect adventure companion as he loves going for walks and exploring his surroundings 🌳

He is looking for a patient family who can take the time to help him feel safe, and would prefer an adult-only household with no other pets. Could you give sweet Scampi his forever home? https://t.co/gK3y91ZIBA

Woke up panicking about where I was going to keep 12 guinea pigs and if they were okay after being shipped inadequately across the world.
Then I realised it wasn't real and the relief...

[Erica Cochrane @EricaCochrane]

Just had a dream where a random friend I'd not seen in years sent me 2 adult and 10 baby guinea pigs in the mail from Singapore. The babies were about the size of a peanut and all different shades. You best bet I was on the phone to him right away with a 'WTF?!'

@nycbunnymadison @giveashitnature Any we get are reused as much as possible, as bin liners sometimes. Usually for the small plastic that we then take to Tesco to recycle!

@iamAtheistGirl Despise them both. They are like disappointing grapes the texture of meat and they freak me out xD

@goodreads Wings of starlight by Allison saft. It's a Disney fairies book for a more YA audience & I was expecting it to be just some churned out Disney nonsense. But it turned out to be one of the absolute best books I read that year & my brain often wanders back to how good it was.

@nycbunnymadison assuming the chin sections are meant to fold together, it could be some kind of pattern for a gnome with big ears?

@CroneThe86880 The more the better! I love the smell of lavender!

@goodreads Immortal by Sue Lynn Tan. I had a slow reading month, read a lot of books i really didn't enjoy all that much. But this one stood out, i read it in one night and loved it! it was also a birthday present, which always helps!

Why is it, when you have a trip coming up or something, your body does something stupid like kick a door frame and now you're slightly unsure if it's broken or not. ><

Meet Samson! 🐾💛

This gorgeous boy would be the best adventure buddy - he travels well in the car and loves a dip in the water after a nice long walk!

He'd be best suited to an active family, with no other dogs but could live with children of secondary school age and above.

@Aaron_Margolin You do whatever you choose with your purchase. Do you want to preserve it in a display case? Go ahead! Keep it on your bed? No problem? Give it to your pet? Totally up to you!

Kiwi is a 3 year old adventurer at heart that enjoys stretching, sniffing about new woodland areas and playing with her favourite rope toy.

She is a worried girl and will need patient owners as she builds trust with them and would fit in best being the only pet in the home.

Big smiles from beautiful Bonnie! 😃💛

Bonnie is a 13-year-old Spaniel X Collie, but don't be fooled by her age - this girl is full of beans! She is a happy wee soul who loves playing with her ball and exploring sniffs on her walks.

She is being the perfect house guest in foster care, but is still looking for her forever home: https://t.co/cAm8mm0UVT

Hedgehogs are becoming an endangered species in the uk as more people secure their gardens and use slug pellets. We have to look after these delightful little creatures - make a hole for them to travel, provide water bowls for the heat, and dont use slug pellets!

Nyla has been very reluctant to get on the sofa, so today we lifted her up gently onto it to let her know it was definitely ok. She made herself comfy very quickly when she realised this meant to could get more pats and be comfy at the same time.

@nycbunnymadison That's so disappointing!
