Concerning cat carriers your mother did not talk with me!!!! remember that I participate to Cora´s Blog where 90 % of the readers are cat lovers and owners and most of them have very nice cat carriers,,,,,, One of us owns a bery good pet shop in Jardim Botanico,,,,,

Dani, Gertie and Sabrina are reaaally beautiful......

Since you left Brazil to live in the USA , things have changed a lot, concerning pet shops.... We have lots of pet shops and even pet supermarkets these mainly in the State of São Paulo). Many pet shops are super sophisticated and you cand find gifts for all kind of animals... I have read a study that the pet shop commerce is the one who has grown more in Brazil in the last two years..... Pet related occupations have also grown exponentially here...

My fishes, for example, only eat german food. Their filters are also german or italian, Their aquariaum is japanese , the lamp is korean, the heaters are italianand the UV filter is from taiwan. And the CHemicals are mostly from germany ou USA. I buy them from a fish-pet-shop in Curitiba, Parana, But there are hundreds of fish stores , most of them in the states that had japanese colonzation.

The dog houses are very beautiful, but the last photo of the two french bulldogs is marvelous... I love bulldogs, french or english!!!! Those two guys seem to be very proud of their Eiffel Tower!!!

People sometimes deserve to be bitten! They should wear those outfits themselves!

Emma is sooooooc lovely!!!! I would like to kiss her a lot and to hug her!!!!!

Dani my godson Gilberto Gil loves non fat Yoghurt!!! This food , together with his Tuna and his special diet cat food are his most loved foods!!! As for the Tuna, he only accepts one specific brand! If on tries to cheat him he refuses to eae!!!

Dani Take care the next time a Circus appears eround Cambridge..... Geppetto surely seems to be training to be a circus star!!!

I will try to write something Dani. The difficult thing will be to have her pose for a photo.... They are very shy fishes and stay intheir wood hole for most of the day... They go looking for food at night....
