What you're going to find here is lots and lots of pictures of me and my furry babies! I hope you enjoy looking through them - and as you can see, I don't call them "pets" for they are truly members of my family! There are lots of pics, so please give them time to upload. In addition to all the kitties and my rottie, I also have a cockatiel named Petey Bird! Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures of Petey yet, but I'll try to get one up here for you soon.
I've had animals all my life, can't imagine ever NOT having them in my life! There's nothing sweeter than the purr of a kittie curled up around your head, or a big slobbery kiss from your puppy! My babies add so much to my life - they are truly one of God's most perfect creations.
Charmin
At seven years old, Charmin is the oldest of my furry family! As you can see, she's quite beautiful, and just loves to be loved! Even at her ripe old age, she still loves to get into badness, I guess she'll always have a little kitten in her! And as you can see from the picture with she and Mom, she's quite "laid back" - even when playing "flying angel" !!!
Titten
"Titten" is three years old and still so tiny and petite! That's why we call her 'Titten" because her real name is actually Cloudy. As you can see, she's spoiled absolutely rotten (and I wouldn't have her any other way!) yet is probably the most independent of all my babies. She'll let you know when she wants to be loved - otherwise, let her sleep!
Gizmo
Gizmo is our youngest feline friend at two years old! As you can see, he's quite the ham and loves to have his picture taken! He's also full of mischief - and is always getting into trouble! The middle picture is of Gizzy and an adorable angel bear that a member of the pet group sent us for Christmas. I had been sleeping with it on my pillow but when I got out of bed, Gizzy quickly claimed it for his own!
Sasha
Sasha is our newest addition! She is only six months old and such a big baby! I've already spoiled her terribly. (as you can see from how she's claimed the bed for herself!) Sasha just loves the kitties, but right now, they aren't real crazy about her! She wants to play so badly, she'll throw her feet down and bark and bark at them, her little nub just a wagging!
"In Memory of Pumpkin"
And this is Pumpkin. Pumpkin was a feral cat that lived in the woods behind our house. When we first moved here, he was just a kitten, so I am not sure how old he was, maybe around two or two and a half years old. I had spent the last two years taming him, and as you can see, you could hardly call him "feral" anymore. As much as I loved him, we were trying to find a home for him - with three cats indoors, there was simply no way we could keep another one. But before anyone responded to our search, Pumpkin disappeared. I tell myself that he had gotten so sweet - just loved to be loved - that someone probably picked him up to love him and keep them for themselves. Yet I know the statistics and the life expectancy of feral cats and it scares me. Unfortunately, there are far too many "Pumpkins" out there. Please, in Pumpkins memory - please spay and neuter your pets - and keep them indoors! There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of Pumpkin and miss him terribly.
