Jacob was amazingly gentle with animals, even at nineteen months old. Here he’s having cuddles with my old degu, Bumbersnoot.

He is, he’s always known to be gentle with the animals.
Bumbersnoot and Jacob look so cute together. I love the name Bumbersnoot.

I think that animals have a great connection with kids, something magical and pure. Cute picture!
I think animals teach children how to be gentle and compassionate. It helps give them a sense of responsibility if they have to consider something else before themselves.

Thanks Lotchie, Bumbersnoot was a real little cutie. I’m glad Jacob had the chance to meet him.
Jacob is a real little cutie as well and adorable. You’re welcome.

He certainly is. I can’t believe he starts school in September ?
Adorable 🙂 and I learnt something new today. I’d never heard of a degu so, of course, asked Mr Google! My children had guinea pigs and I loved them.

To Leave Comments - Please SignIn with GoogleThanks Sandra. Degus are cute and make awesome pets. Bumbersnoot was my little kitchen buddy. I had him for about six years and he was three when we got him, so they are quite long lived for a small animal.
What a lovely picture Carrie, he looks like he saying – I’m not giving him back!
He always looks so adorable when he’s around animals. He’s had the benefit of growing up with dogs, cats and rats as pets. He’s learned when he needs to be gentle ?
