My old scottish/aussie terrier was an RSPCA pup, my mother got him when I was 5 named him Bill, unfortunately Bill had a brotheri n there with him and she didn't have the heart to seperate them so home came two tiny rat looking things, named Bill and Burn. We had to give burn up as Bill kept acting the dominant male and beating him up no matter how much we tried to stop it.
We were lucky at the time an old couple we knew had just lost their shih tzu so we found the perfect home for burn, he grew quite fat after that and knew he was well loved so it wasn't to hard.
Now living in a flat and moving constantly animals are hard to have but my girlfriend has a cat called hamish....
Suffice to say shopping on ebay one day I was bored and bought something for the cat
for $5......Best money ever spent
