Pleasing 4 Pets

A 42 year old who was made redundant from his inspector’s position at car-makers Jaguar Land Rover has proved to his old colleague at the production plant who are currently facing an indeterminate future that life goes outside of Jaguar Land Rover.

Adrian Cashmore took redundancy from the car plant where he had worked for 7 years and decided to open a Pet Shop in his Castle Bromwich where he lives.

He says his decision was prompted by difficulties he encountered difficulties whilst attempting to purchase supplies for his own pets locally.

Adrian said:-

“I had to travel quite far to get things for my own pets so I thought I should open a local store.

It has been hard work and I am up until two 2am some mornings sorting things out, but even though it is early days, I am getting a steady trade and regular customers.”

He has named his new venture Bromford Pets and stocks a wide range of animal feed and pet accessories as well as traditional pets such as guineas pigs, rabbits and fish.

Although he is extremely happy in his new found vocation, Adrian admits that he still misses his colleagues from Jaguar Land Rover and commended a local campaign which is calling on Prime Minister Gordon Brown to offer much needed financial assistance to the car industry during the current recession.

An oversized rabbit was given the hop by her new owners after her huge appetite proved way too much for them to deal with.

The giant European rabbit, named Roo was purchase for £129 by a family who took her home to live with them on their substantially sized farm. But the hungry herbivores uncontrollable appetite meant that she literally ate them out of house and home, when she began nibbling at their furniture.

Her frustrated new owners were forced to return her to the pet shop in Elgin, Moray where they had purchased her just a few days earlier.

Tracey Simpson from Pets At Home commented:-

“Her new owners thought they were buying an animal similar to a cat that would come and sit on their lap and quietly move around the house. But Roo isn’t like that. She’s full of life and because her teeth never stop growing, she likes to munch on things. That didn’t go down well.”

Super sized Roo manages to munch a whole kilo of kale and massive amounts of hay and other rabbit food each week. She also devours huge amounts of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots.

The good news is that the cute bunny has since been re-housed with a caring member of staff from Pets At Home who had looked after her since she arrived there.
