PetPage Gwen Owen with Yam and Marlee
KEEP EMAILING THOSE PHOTOS OF YOU AND YOUR PETS TO WIN PRIZES! Pet Page this time round has yet another great array of characters from the animal world – courtesy of their ANF member owners. Look to the top of the page where ANF member Gwen Owen shares with us Yam, her “beautiful big chubby Lesmurdie lamb (kind of a large sheep now!)”, as well as her lovely kelpie Marlee. “Yam came to us a three day old abandoned lamb when my oldest son was doing seeding down south,” Gwen told western nurse. “He lived in the house for the first three months. Yam liked sitting in front of the fire on my grandmother’s chair. He then graduated to his own house (our old cubby house) in a pen in our garden. He roams all day eating my roses and generally making a mess of our driveway, spending all his time with our dogs, chooks and ducks. At night he beds down in his cubby.” Yam likes the cubby particularly because he “doesn’t do rain”, Gwen reckons. Shannara Wall is pictured with Archie, her PomeranianCavalier King Charles Spaniel-cross. Shannara said: “This is the first and most special man in my life! Archie has been loyal by my side for four years. He loves to run and chase his ball, then have a cuddle on the couch. I can depend on him always.”
