Hi there, I've been reading this topic and I think it's a great idea to write in English (or any other language). I am a Polish woman living in the Netherlands, so English is my first language here, actually. I can also use Dutch but I'm afraid no one really knows this (funny) language.
I've always loved animals so when I got married I decided it's time to have some of them at home. Fortunatelly my husband loves them just like I do, so we started with some rats, then we got two dogs and a cat from animal shelter. We didn't know anything bout them, they were stray, but the second we looked in their eyes we knew they'd been waiting there for us. So - we ended up with a pair of Jack Russels and an evil tom cat. I don't have to add that they all love each other to bits and spend the whole days together. And they all love observing our rats
We are one happy family now, especially that we have, as the Dutch would call it - kindje op komst - which is child on it's way.
