Meet the team

Its impossible to decide between dogs and cats, having one of each I feel I couldn't decide between them! I love how aloof cats can be so you feel privileged when they decide you are worthy of their attention... but I love how dogs love you unconditionally!
What pets do you have and what are their names?
I have a cat called Mango, and a Lurcher called Luke
What's the best pet name that you've ever come across?
Mud the Springer Spaniel

Cats - as they are independent in a lot of ways but then when they know you are a cat person they give you all the love in the world.
