OUR FOUR-LEGGED

FAMILY MEMBERS



(We all have "critters" of one sort or another!)









Let me introduce you to the only member of
our family who has NOT left home
--This is Theodore,better known as "Theo"
Theodore has been with us for over 17 years now.
He is a "spoiled-rotten" half-Persian,half-Himalayan cat
who THINKS he is a purebred champion!!


(Note: I am saddened to report that on September 26,2003
Theo passed over the "Rainbow Bridge" and is at rest.
He was getting too old and too feeble and in
pain most of the time from severe arthritis and it
was selfish of us to want to hang on to him
any longer, so we did the humane thing and had him
put down. I miss him terribly..there will never be another "Theo".















Well, we couldn't stand to be without a cat for too long!
We can never replace Theo, but finally we adopted these two
They are a trip!
"SMOKY" and "DUSTY", two beautiful kittens.








Patrick with "ABBY", their beautiful little
Chihuahua. She is a real joy to have around--so loving and playful,
and a real little chow hound! She absolutely loves
ICE CREAM!








Abby's little companion, "HERSHEY"..
He is a year younger and also a beautiful little
Chihuahua, the color of chocolate, which earned
him the name, "Hershey"!!








The third of my grandson's dogs:
This is "DIXIE", a Min-Pin. You wouldn't know it
by this picture but she would win first prize in a "Hyper-dog"
contest! A VERY sweet personality though.








This is "BOB" the newest addition to Sharon's "family".
A cute little Boston Terrier, and full of spunk!








This is "MERLIN". He belongs to Teresa and Russ
and is one of the sweetest Yellow Labs that I
have ever seen! His favorite thing to do
is to have someone throw toys and to chase and "retrieve" them.
He will play this game all day long if someone
is willing to play with him.








This is "BABY",one of our son's family's dogs. She is a long haired Chihuahua,
a real "baby", too!











This is the second of of our son's family's dogs.
"BAMM-BAMM" is a Peke-a-Poo, and he LOVES cheese!
