Hi, I am Margarita, although, I am more used to my short name Rita! I am a freelance artist and often have to stay at home to work on some commissions. I am originally from Siberia and nature is a very strong part of my upbringing. I like walking and often go to the countryside. I moved to London 5 years the ago. My family had pets since I was a little girl. When I was 5 my mum got me a Pekingese, who we called Rey. I was responsible for brushing and walking and feeding him! Rey was a proper member of the family and lived a long life! We also had the most gentle cat Asya, who we rescued from the streets in cold Siberian November. She was a very tiny hungry kitten when we saw her. In fact, she jumped in my granny's bag (cheeky one, she knew we would not take her out) and we her carried into our warm loving home. These two were best friends! Once I took Rey with me for camping and three days later when we came back he just ran straight away to look for the cat! And that was 15 minutes kissing and chasing each other. No matter who I visit, pets just love me. And it is not just words! My husband's parents have two dogs and two cats, sometimes they would all together try to sit on my lap! I know that the best thing we can give to pets in patience, love and care.
