GENA & PHEOBE
34 GSCENE
) Since we first met we’ve always had some feline action in our life and our current rulers Madge and Hubbell are heading towards their 13th year with us. Defiantly in charge of the roost, they keep us in check and fill each day with affection - depending on the supply of fish fingers and custard obviously.
BOBBY & PHOEBE, GENA & SOPH ) Bobby (short for Bob The Drag Queen) is
our lockdown baby. He joined us in a very difficult time for everybody, and has brought so much joy to us ever since.
Phoebe is the most gorgeous dog with the biggest personality. She was the newest addition to my parents’ house about a year before I left home – their replacement baby. She never fails to put a smile on anyone’s face and she loves nothing more than a belly rub or a cuddle... or treats. She normally wears a pink tartan bow-tie, apart from Pride when she accessories with rainbow ribbons.
HUBBELL & MADGE
At just four months now, he doesn’t fail to entertain. His favourite naughty pastimes include: climbing our clothes-drying rack like a climbing frame and pulling all of the clothes off, sleeping in the sink, sitting on top of our moving fan, taking down our fairy lights and jumping in our fridge as
soon as the door opens and refusing to get out. He is the most affectionate little man and we have loved spending our lockdown spoiling him and getting to know his cheeky personality. Your mums love you Bob-cat.
GENA, SOPH & BOBBY
Arnie, the latest addition to our household, is a two-year-old rescued mutley from Portugal who joined us two weeks before lockdown. He is the dog we never knew we needed, fulfilling the cliché of becoming the rescue dog that rescued us. It helps that he looks exactly like a cartoon of the ideal dog Queenie would have drawn if asked.
LILY, HILARY WILDBLOOD, QUEENIE & ARNIE
) Lily is completely one of the family; she
And after much bribery the three of them all get along, especially when Madge is in charge of the aforementioned fish fingers, and although there is definitely less room on the sofa for us humans since he arrived, Arnie has filled this year of the unknown with the certainty of love. Unconditional, overexcited, love.
Lily loves to potter in the garden with me when I’m watering the plants or curl up on your lap in the winter, and she also loves playing hide and seek, which makes me laugh. She is always happy to see us (even if it is because she is hopeful for something to eat!) and has made us happy too.'
LILY POTTERING IN THE GARDEN
loves everyone, especially Rachel and her brother. She grew up with them and is 17 now. I can’t remember what life was like without her. She is so companionable and affectionate.
