Thank you for the welcome, guys. It's good to be here.
StuDH - the dog and cats have been brought up together and adore each other (yes, really! lol). The cats are indoor animals (don't want em catching me birds!) so they all spend a fair bit of time in each other's company. The ferrets are a different kettle of fish. They are very mischievous and like nothing better than to antagonise the dog - obviously, it's supervised meetings only.
The cats are more wary/sensible and stay out of their way!
Oy - and what have you got against East Yorkshire, me dear?
Perhaps I might be able to change your mind? lol.
Look forward to getting to know you all.
