Our pets

DogsDogs (1)
A 6 year old Staffy x Bull Arab called Mater. He is laid back, lazy and thinks he is a lap dog. He likes to sleep in or on our beds, his bed or the couch. He is very low maintenance and has only stayed away once from us.
He loves attention and snuggles and despite his laid back nature, he can become excited with new people.
He is my sons disability support dog, and he is treated like a human. He does have allergies to pollen, but generally not affected by this until mid to late spring.
