    Your gecko has a very engaging smile, @wild edges...   :)
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    He’s gorgeous ... does he have a name?

    He's called Ziggy. He was a girl for the first 25 years of life before I had to take 'her' to the vets and got told she was a he. He still gets referred to as she though.

    Reptiles and succulents @wild edges!   Definitely weird.  What does the dog think of your smiley gecko?

    In 1970 I acquired a Burmese cat called Barnabas ... in 1971 it’s name became Barna-puss when she produced four kittens 😂

    He doesn't seem to understand what she is but in general he ignores all animals, with the exception of squirrels and cats.

    My dad always had setters. He agreed to mind a hamster while the owner was away. One  day, the cage was empty. We always wondered......

    I agreed to look after a (very nice) cat when his owner went travelling for a few months.  It seemed simple enough to keep him away from my pair of budgies, I'd just keep the room door shut when I wasn't in the room.  Until the morning I got in from a night shift and found that instead of shutting the cat out of the budgies' room, I'd accidentally shut him in.  I had one budgie and a lot of feathers.  When my friend returned from his travels, I overhead him telling the cat, "Never mind, Sandy, come the revolution, you can eat budgie every day."

    Cosmos pussy, now 4 and a hopeless hunter, has discovered he has a talent for herding hens.  Trouble is he then separates one from the group and chases her.  i've just found the perisher in their pen after I'd already shooed him out whilst cleaning the house.  Some serious cat training is going to be needed as I don't want my eggs pre-scrambled.

    You need a cockerel @Obelixx ... he’ll teach Cosmos exactly who the hens belong to. 🐓
