    "Pet" and "Critter" now deemed derogatory names ;)

    Yes - the PC police are back at it again! CNN reported a story the other day that we are no longer to refer to them as "pets" or "critters" - they are now to be referred to as "companion animals" - no sir you can't make this stuff up....

    Similarly, we are no longer "owners", we are "human carers" and to say otherwise should be deemed offensive.

    I would have thought it was April 1st

    So - excuse me while this human carer feeds some frozen, thawed companion animals to some of my other companion animals ....
