Teddy
Isn't he just the cutest dog you have ever seen?!!!! We got him from a local rescue group. We must have had "SUCKER" printed across our foreheads when we met him. He had been separated from the rest of the dogs (probably because of his naughty ways). There was a roll of paper towels in his pin and he was joyfully tearing it to shreds while we said "AWWWW. Look! He's so playful". Eric had one moment of sanity and pointed out that he would probably do that to our house. Then the moment was gone. We signed the papers, paid the fees and took him home. He's not too bright and we are not sure he can see to well through all that hair. But he is the sweetest and funniest dog I have ever had. Just looking at him makes me laugh! Annabelle
We can't figure out if Annabelle is a Princess or a natural born killer. When she is inside, she is as sweet and as loving as she can be. She is endlessly patient with the kids and our kitten, Sophie. She purrs anytime you pet her and really enjoys the pampered life. But she can only stand to be indoors for a few hours at a time. Then the great wild beckons and she is off chasing birds, mice, bugs or whatever else she can find. She is a skilled and crafty hunter. I pity the small animals that try to make a home in our backyard. Sophie
Sophie is our baby. We got her when she was just three weeks old. My friend Autumn had rescued the mama cat and was caring for them in her garage. The mama cat became sick and couldn't nurse anymore. Autumn called me one Saturday morning and was so upset. One of the kittens had already died and Sophie was barely hanging on. We had to feed her with a bottle every couple of hours, including night feedings. During the day, I wrapped her in a papoose and tied her on to me while I did my things around the house. Just like carrying a baby in a sling! She would nestle in and sleep for hours like that. Those were the good ole days. Now she is an out of control 5 month old kitten! She is into everything, constantly on the attack and tearing up my brand new leather sofas (hence, the NO MORE PETS Rule). I am afraid the term "Curiosity killed the cat" is an all too true saying. She's not even six months old and I am sure she has used up at least 3 of her 9 lives! Let's see, there was the time she fell in the bathtub when it was full. . . there was the time she tore a hole and crawled inside Alex's boxspring and somehow maneuvered through all the pokey springs with being impaled and just the other day, Amanda plucked her off the STOVE, while I was COOKING!!!
