Forget it Norman, these can't be mine; there are no weapons available around

.
Besides, the one in charge of guarding the house (Adriano) weighs almost 9 kilos and atacks with his bare hands (i mean paws)

.

Let's not exagerate; my paw is not that large

That's because in my previous incarnation i was no good son of a gun, Frederico

I guess 'rescue' should currently be my middle name

. You should see the rest of the team; the one cat was adopted three legged, another one having to urgently become one eyed; what's next ?

Hi,
My wonderful Grey-girl sadly no longer with me having succumbed to cancer. As far as I know the oldest hunting breed, known to have been used in one form or another for about ten thousand years. On the other hand the 'little bugger' is my Norfolk Terrier smallest working terrier breed sometimes known as the Cambridge Terrier and an excellent watchdog. The breed is nicknamed the 'Perfect Demon' and not without cause I can tell you, seen here 'guarding' the woodpile or more likely searching for mice and mischief.
Regards,
Norman.

P.S. Fernando you are quickly becoming my wife's perfect hero.

Does he have diabetes? This is a serious question.

No, he is fine; only a great food devourer.
Our daughter, a veterinary, regularly visits us and checks up the whole pet team.
Thank you for your concern
