Photos
of Our Friends

The first
photo is of Betsey Blue-Eye, our Aussie Shepherd/Border Collie mix and
the second of Boris McBanger, our Lab/Am. Pit mix. Betsey is sporting
her "summer look" since her fur is usually about 5-6 inches long.
Since we live in Florida, she suffers when the heat gets high if we
don't keep her fur cut down. With it cut short, she has plenty of
energy to indulge in her favorite pastime: herding Boris. This he
takes with his usual good humor and a bit of resignation. |

Hi everybody!
My name is Schatzie and I am a one year
old Dachshund. I love all kinds of parties and I am a true party
animal. At my mistress's last party, I had a special petcare-person
carry me around in her arms all night, and she was beautiful in her
flowing chiffon dress. But I was handsome too in a black sweater
and bow tie and I really showed off by stretching my neck to its
fullest and acting non-challant. When the piano player did a
Frank Sinatra number I really let loose and howled right along to
thunderous applause from the audience.
In the daytime I like to ride a bike with
my mistress and I love the upholstered basket I get to sit in. And I
love to ride in the new Mercedes, but I am still looking for a nice
seat made especially for me. I want to be a good boy and not
distract my mistress while she is driving. Oh yeah, I also like
to chase all the beautiful white birds that are grazing around our
lake, but I don't like the pool and run away if I think my lady wants
to put me in the water.
Now before I say goodbye to everybody, I
want to know if there is some really good food out there for me.
Hope I don't have to go all the way to Germany to get a Wiener
Schnitzel. Love to all,
from Schatzie von Dachsie!

Enclosed are pictures of four wonderful
animals that brought enormous amounts of love and
joy to our lives. "Sheba", November 3, 1988 - July14, 1998. She was
there for me through thick and thin and my best
friend without a doubt and brought joy to many lives besides my own.
"Bob", a 2 1/2 year old Beagle that we only got to have in our lives
for a very brief time but nonetheless a joyful
time.
"Diesel", March 29,1999 - March 2, 2000, our 11 month
old Black Lab tragically taken from us way too
soon.
"Bailey", our 14 month old Beagle who loves to run and
chase deer, rabbits, birds, etc., etc., etc., then cuddle
up for a good night's sleep.

Hi. My name is Zsazsa, and I'm a 4 months
old toy poodle, my mammy got me from a very well
known breeder in Las Vegas. Since she bought me
home with her, I'm the happiest dog in the world because I go everywhere
with her. I go shopping, to the park, to the pool,
to the spa, and everywhere because she teaches me
very good manners. I'm a very sophisticate, classy, elegant and
proper poodle.

This is Callie
McCalabash. She is a Cairn Terrier and is Dudley McTavish's little
sister. Callie is a spunky affectionate yet hardy li'l thing. She thinks
she is a Great Dane, and no dog is too big for her to go up to and
wrestle.

This is Maysha. She gets her
name from two other females that I had --
Maybelline and Sasha. I used the beginning and the
end of their names because I thought it was cute. She is 4 months and 1
week old, and she has a little of the devil in her. She loves
people, especially men. She loves going into a near by pet store and
doing
her own shopping. She picks out her new toy and a biscuit and
brings them to the counter. Of
course I get stuck paying the bill. Peggy K. |

This Is Dudley McTavish. He is a 8 month old
Beagle and a lot of fun (and trouble). He likes to sit on your lap no
matter how big he is and how small you are, and he is a really happy
puppy, as you can see from his smile! Actually, he was eating a piece of
lavender, but I edited it out! But he does smile! And soon as he is an
angel, he has a halo (actually, its my t shirt).

Alzie is a Jack Russell
terrier 4 months old. Her full name is Alzie-a pill for Virginia Blied.
Virginia has Alzheimers and when our cat died, I was advised to
immediately get another pet. Alzie came to our home and is a joy to the
both of us. She just completed Puppy Class provided by the Greater
Naples Dog Club. The car seat is a child's safety seat adapted to secure
Alzie, (Never leave a Jack Russell untethered out of doors).

Nittany is a Yellow Labrador Retriever. She was
born in Pennsylvania on 12/23/96. We had contemplated the
responsibilities of owning a dog and had almost decided against it
when we met Nittany. Things have not been the same since and we
couldn't be happier. We had to make a few minor changes like making
sure the bathroom is shut while showering in order to avoid an
uninvited guest. We solved the problem in the summer by providing her
with her own baby pool. Nittany is very intelligent and a quick
learner. I swear, she knows exactly what I am saying even when it is
not coded with dog commands. After observing how to use the ice
dispenser in the fridge door, Nittany took it upon herself to get her
own ice cubes by pushing the button with her nose. The only regret we
have had with our choice is her huge vet bills, but she is worth every
penny.

Attached is a photo of Xena, a dog we
adopted from the shelter, when she was about 5 weeks old. She
had been found next to a highway, so she has an unknown
heritage.(She looks like a Canaan Dog) The two years my husband
and I have had Xena with us, have been very happy ones!

Enclosed is a picture of a previously
abandoned, 2-yr old German Shorthair Pointer that my wife
and I adopted from a "kill" Kentucky shelter as members of
German Shorthair Rescue. We love "Dani" very much and she
goes everywhere with us. We are leaving tomorrow for a
one-week vacation in Maine and will introduce Dani to the
beach. She is very active, has quite a bit of puppy still in
her and this picture prompted the nickname Dogzilla. She
possessively guards her yard space and wants to catch every
squirrel and bird in our neighborhood. Dani is quite
affectionate, loves everyone but is very jealous when my
wife hugs me! Her favorite activities are walking the public
trails with us, napping on our water bed, and watching
animals on TV! She is beautiful and we are so lucky she came
into our lives. She is our baby.

Say "Bonjour" to Captain Cappuccino
the Wonder Pup. Cappy was the "runt" of his litter (of
two) and was not expected to live but he obviously did. I
am often told that I don't look like a "poodle person" (I
don't) but I sure am a Cappy person. He is the love of my
life (OK, one of them) and has the most amazing
disposition. He spent two years of his live with two 100+
pound Malamutes and acts like he's one, too. Of course
he's only eight pounds (without a haircut.)

I am enclosing a picture of Torey Adore of
Acme-Windgap, a beautiful 3.5 year old salt and pepper
miniature schnauzer. She is the love of my life! Torey
just recently had her second litter on April 24, 1998. She
had two boys and three girls. One of the girls will be
staying behind and taking up residence with Torey and me.
Her name is Windgap Torey's Becca Secunda or Becca (for
short). Becca's two brothers and sisters have already
found great and loving homes and will be going to their
new owners in a few short weeks. -- Bill

This is my Chinese Sharpei "Disaster" but we
all call her Asta. If she wore pants...she would be the
one to wear them in our family. She's always featured on
our "Family Xmas Card" with her named prominently listed
while my two kids have been delegated as "and family"!
Pets tend to take over, and this one is no exception. I
have a z-28 camaro convertible with cutomized interior for
the dog including dog-seat belt covered in matching
material, we
budget $100 per month for food, toys, etc. and I even
designed the business where I work's entry in our local
parade with a dog theme so she could ride along as main
attraction. My children are grown and have abandoned
ship...but my husband (although he may not admit it) is
just as far gone as I am!

This is my "granddog" Lendi. She was born in
Kansas, lived in Missouri, is a "French" bulldog by
birth.....so what the heck is she doing in California? We
purchase her for my daughter for Xmas and we all have
become won over by her strange little ways. No one could
resist her Elfin little ways...except maybe my dog who is
twice her size, loves to follow and play with her and
wears the scars for Lendi's littles nips that come when
you least expect them. Lendi loves to lick and sniff her,
them take a chunk and run under the couch where my dog
won't fit..It must be love because...the big one never
even threatens to retaliate! Lendi has reloacted "too many
miles" away! We all miss her
snorting,licking,jumping,etc..you have to laugh when she's
around....Sometime's I just sit and wonder....What the
federal laws are concerning abducting you "granddog" and
taking her across state lines! Here she is in my computer
room aka "jungle room" and this is where she belongs! Come
home to grandma....Lendi!

MeSo is our new 6
week-old puppy. We adopted him from a local animal shelter
where he, a brother, and a sister were abandoned. When we
first saw him, he had that "Please Take Me Home" look in
his eyes--and we did! Prior to MeSo, we had an 18 year-old
dog named "Keisha" and a 17 year old cat named "Hercules".
Both of these pets recently died, and within six weeks of
each other. They too, were abandoned 18 years ago. We
don't see MeSo as a replacement for Keisha, but as an
extension of her life. She would have wanted us to love
and care for another dog, just as we loved and cared for
her for 18 years. When Keisha was put to sleep just a few
weeks ago--she had breast cancer. Our last words to her
were "Keisha, now you can go chase the kitty Hercules".
MeSo will be loved and cared for, hopefully for another 18
years+. |
