It's been a while, but please welcome....

It's been a very long time since I had a new Syrian. The Syrian army is long gone with only Thunder left but today may mark the beginning of a triumphant return of the Syrian army (The dwarf army is still going strong!)

Today I walked into my local pet shop to buy some filter pads for one of my tropical fish tanks and Lynn (who owns the shop) said she was just about to ring me, that shes got a little (well rather large) ham that needs a nice new home. At first I said no. With all the deaths I have had last year the this year I told myself I will be no longer keeping Syrians...that was the plan anyway!

I looked at this big black ball of fluff and thought to myself what might happen if I didn't take her. So with my brain saying 'No Kane' and my heart saying 'Take her Kane' I changed my decision and brought her home.

I have named her Velvet as her fur feels velvety. She hasn't really got a sad story other than no one wanted her and she had been in the pet shop for 3 months. At a guess she is 5 months old at the most. She's abit skittish but she will let you stroke her and will have food from my hand.

So I bet your all saying shut up Kane, we want to see pictures! ...ok then here they are!





Quite a big girl isn't she!

Now maybe I will let her have a litter of pups with Thunder, but I am undecided on that at the moment.

Aww...Velvet is very cute! Sorry about all your animals that have died.

>> The Syrian army is long gone <<

So sad. I could have done a joke about the Israelis and the 1973 war, but it is too sad.

Is there anything that needs to be done to assure the safety of new Syrians?

Glad you recued her.

See my post about the computer problem in Members Only. I am totaly exasperated about the problem that prevents me from posting photos as the PC will not identify the memory card reader. I am asking techies and posting on the Web.
