| They can also have hair, scales, shells, and tentacles. They can run, jump, hop, fly, swim, slither, crawl, tunnel and spin while they bark, meow, chirp, caw, sing, glug, growl, roar and go beep-beep shoom!! Our friends come in many shapes and forms but have, for the most part, one thing in common. Us! We love them all! |

Roxie, our boxer, is our only "child" left at home. She is spoiled rotten, of course. She really doesn't like my husband to hug me or come over by me. She will jump in between us as soon as she sees him coming my way and she will howl when he hugs or kisses me! LOL!...Syl |

Here's Webster the Senegal Parrot...who is a laugh a minute around here. He's just a baby but is very intelligent, friendly, and cuddly. His favorite foods are red hot peppers and cantelope. His favorite pastimes are taking a shower with "daddy", playing with his toys, and getting neck rubs. He's declared that 8pm is bedtime (period!) and just about has the whole potty-training thing figured out...Shelley |

The brown cat - Pushkin (below) is 14. Lucky (left) the black and white is nearly 4. Pitzi (below, left), the silver miniature poodle is 18 months old. Each has her own character and her own way of getting attention. They all sleep on the bed with me - gets pretty crowded at times...Dina |

Brandy, the Wonder Dog. She is a trained and certified Service Dog. We trained together from the time she was a puppy. She spent time as a therapy dog working in a nursing and mental health facility with senior citizens. We were certified as a team when Brandy was 17 months old. This is young but that is the advantage of growing as a team. Brandy is now just over 3 years old and will work until the age of 10 when she will help train her replacement and then enjoy a retirement well earned...Don |

Kelsey - The little one, 10.6 lbs. is Kelsey. Kelsey is the trouble maker, but is so cute. He is also very loveable, but is always in trouble. He chases Michael all over the place, leaping out on him from around corners, which of course scares the dickens out of Michael. Kelsey is laying on "his" chair. He thinks he is human. If he is not asleep his paw is draped over the arm of the chair & looking out as if "sooo"...Wanna |

Michael - The big one, 15.3 lbs. is Michael. He is a big pussy cat that is afraid of his shadow. He is a real love bug & comes up to me & cries to be petted. He is the one laying in the captain's chair that is getting too small for him, but he still squeezes in. He likes to wake me up in the morning by laying on my head & purring. It is hard to sleep with 15 lbs. laying on your head...Wanna |

Ling-Ling - Ling-Ling is my 14 year old Shih-Tzu.She is a very mischievous little dog and is constantly chasing my cats to show them who is boss! She has gone totally deaf within the last year. It breaks my heart because she can no longer hear me so I am constantly holding her and petting her to let her know how much I love her...Shirley |

Tae-bo - This is my part Siamese cat named Tae-bo....she has real blue eyes but they do not show up in this photo. She is one year old. Last winter Tae-bo chased a squirrel up a tree and would not come down and we did not find her for nearly two days. She stayed in that tree on a branch for that long. I finally went deep in the woods determined to find her and as I called her name I heard a faint "meow" and I kept walking toward the sound and found her about 40 ft. up in that tree! I had to pay this man to cut the tree down and she held on for dear life til it hit the ground! She has not been back up a tree since then! LOL!...Shirley |

Bob - This is Bob...my Gold Bobtail Cat. I found Bob at the river starving to death. I fed him until I gained his confidence then I got him and brought him home with me. As you can tell by this photo...he is just a little bit spoiled!...Shirley |
|
Sasha - This is Sasha...part Siamese with blue eyes. She is another cat that I rescued from the River. Her mother had abandoned her. I caught her and Bob at the same time....Shirley |
