i had lots of animals growing up. i love being able to give a homeless pet a home. my mom was really great about letting me take on my little animal projects which usually meant nursing a baby of some kind to health (dogs/puppies, cats/kittens, baby birds, baby rabbits, baby rat, baby squirrel, baby pig, and parakeets). i wanted to work at a zoo for awhile. after doing research on that i learned that i didn’t want to put my entire life into my work. so i have settled with having a lot of domestic animals. one day i hope to have a farm with a lot of land so i can expand my animal kingdom.

we love our pets a lot. but not in a creepy way…

“GIZMO” was found in a parking lot. the owners didn’t want him back when contacted. he is declawed and weighs about 20lbs. we are certain he smokes cigars and drinks brandy when we aren’t looking. if he could talk he would sound like kelsey grammer. because of his weight this is the usual position we find him in.

“PIRATE” and his 4 brothers and sisters along with his korat(purebred) mother were found behind brad’s old work building. they were only about a week old when found. it was really neat watching the different stages of development and it was a delight to see them find homes. he was the runt so i felt especially attached to him. one of his eyes was delayed in opening so he looked like a little pirate scampering around.

“DARLAH” before i got married i was set on getting a shih tzu puppy like the one i had when i was 5. so i drove all by myself to the middle of nowhere alabama and picked up our little bundle of fur. she is just precious. she is my little shadow and follows me wherever i go.i like to remember her like this.

“WILLOW“ i always wanted a persian cat growing up. i found a rescue shelter in hiram and it was love at first sight. when we brought her home we discovered she couldn’t purr. she snorts instead. in fact she snorts all the time. it’s probably due to her nostrils being between her eyes. i think she’s just lovely.

“LUCY” was found running along south cobb drive by a jogger. she was in bad shape. it’s been a few months and she is back to health. she adds a lot of excitement to the crew.

they love eachother

a lot
