Your Pet’s At Home With Us

Chance was a foster from HSSW who was just too sweet and goofy for us to give back for adoption. So we adopted him instead. He is a little jealous of the rest of our herd but has adjusted himself nicely to the pecking order of his life.

Note: The “fat free milk” sign in the background of this photo is not for him (or any of our animals for that matter). It just inadvertently ended up in the photo.

Besides Chance has a very touchy stomach. Anything eaten other than his regular routine of kibble and biscuit treats just ends up on our floors so we have learned the hard way to keep things simple for him.

Schatze gets 3 walks a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year (for almost five years, no missed appointments). And she loves her life of luxury! To borrow a saying:

“Neither rain nor hail nor sleet nor snow nor heat of day nor dark of night shall keep this pet sitter from the swift completion of his/her appointed rounds.” Herodotus, 500 B.C. .

She lives with an Octagenarian who loves her dearly and makes sure she gets the right amount of exercise, proper diet and meds. Schatze is an Octagenarian too in dog years!

Eddie – A stray who cares not for our many dogs. He gets to live with Salty, another stray cat of ours in luxury in our basement away from the hustle and bustle of the dog community. He also has a scenic patio with a cat door that overlooks our outdoor dog pen area. A beautiful, unique looking cat who knows how to take care of himself.

We inherited Eddie from mom when she died in 2002. Mom got him from a neighbor who came down with cancer and could not handle him anymore. The neighbor got him from… Let’s just say Eddie’s been around!

This is the weirdest looking one of the bunch with a heart of gold.

Here is another pic of her.

Franklin is a pedigree yellow lab who will knock you over with his friendliness!
