Pet Names

[brisray]

These two were Bill and Ben and named after a couple of children's TV puppets. I got them shortly before these photos were taken in August 1997.

Their favourite hobby was bringing slow worms and grass snakes into the house and letting them go. They used to wait at the bus stop for me to get home from work.

Getting them to the US in 2001 was more expensive than what it cost me, but I wouldn't let them go. Both long gone, they died within weeks of each other in 2012, but they were so much fun.
