That why I loved working as Home care,heard some rally great storys ,the people would say the familys didnt want to know,Even when the spoke about there late husbands, One lady told me of the monkey her husband brought home,(he was in the merchant navy,he sold it in the pub so he could buy drinks came home and cried for a week,PS We had a monkey when we lived on sefton road,Jacko Mum gave him to a council worker,when we had him he lived in a brick built building the man who took him had him i wooden shed,poor Jacko died of the cold,
Not monkeys but did buy white mice,my son saw a white Rat on a tv show,bought him one for his birthday plus a large cage,come home from work to find Ben (the rat) sitting on top of the cage,they were good enough to change the cage for a better one, PS the only thing i wouldnt have is a snake,
Hide a white mouse in a large goldfish bowl with a lace doily on the top put it under my bed,mum nealy dropped it when she was cleaning the room,It was a large Brass bed,left it behind when we moved to Sonning ave,would sale for a fortune now,Did see on in an shop in Howarth,yeays later along with the old irons you heated on the gas stove,
