Well....we lost our 13 year old Shegal named Sam back in March. He had a seizure and never recoverd from it. There is Sarge is who is now the head honcho, he is a three year old black and silver German Shepherd. He is overly protective when it comes to his yard and his humans.
Next up is the ever so popular Bosco. He is a 2 year old St.Bernard. We take him every where pets are allowed. He enjoys going to flea markets drive thru restraunts.....well any where that serves food. Hes won picture contests and costume contests. Some day in the future we would like to get him into being a therapy dog or a WAGS dog.
The princess of the group is Ms. Belle!! We got her when she was 11 months old, from a breeder who was going to use her for breeding but could no longer take care of her. She came to us with 2 diffrent urinary tract infections and a double ear infection.....needless to say Free dogs are never FREE!!! We have given her some much love and attention that she has become quite the diva. She enjoys peanut butter.....and has a thing for hotdog buns and hamburger buns, trying to break her from that!!! She has returned so much love to me.
Then there is the feathered crowd! Floyd a Timneh African Grey Parrot who is a non stop talker and squaker, then there is onyxk a Cockatiel who is also loud and obnoxious. Then my babies Bo and Luke the Pekin Ducks, I can gurantee you won't find any ducks that are spoiled rotten like these 2!!
