These pictures were taken in May and June of 1983, which means I was almost four years old. I loved animals, still do today, and was lucky enough to have a menagerie of pets.

Even back then playing with the animals you were stylish with your hair all done up in bows! You are so cute!!
When will we see photos of Blackie, Orangie, Spotty and Precious?

You are a naming genius! If only I had taken your suggestion to name my baby "Mirando".
With all those animals you could've started Price's finest "Mabbutt Zoo."
