In remembrance |

Bugz is a cute little dog that we fostered for a couple of years pending resolution of litigation pertaining to her previous circumstance. She is now a permanent member of the household. My daughter says Bugz is sometimes funny and remembers that Bugz was afraid of the water when we took her to the beach. Bugz loves to ride in the car with Mrs. Clary.

Polly is our latest canine addition - found on the side of the road by Mrs. Clary, who seems to have a knack for finding strays. Polly's breeding is a matter of intense discussion. She loves to fetch the tennis ball. Her lightening speed and tendency to "stop on a dime," however, caught up with her as she injured the cranial cruciate ligament in her left knee, prompting TPLO surgery from which she is now recovering.

I have always been fond of hamsters, so when my daughter requested that we get one, I was happy to oblige, but only after she had read a book on hamsters and passed a simple test. She has done an excellent job training Bear and is diligent in caring for him.

Muffin is the newest member of our animal crew. She was a lively kitten, and continues to entertain the whole family. She harasses Bugz, keeps her distance from Polly, and shows way too much interest in Bear..

Josie
Hunter Hunter and Josie, along with a beat-up Honda Prelude comprised the dowry when I married my wife. While I have little positive to say about the car, I could go on and on about all the wonderful qualities possessed by these two faithful companions...we miss them both...
Sally Sally was rescued as a puppy by Mrs. Clary after being abandoned with parvoviral enteritis. A pampered pet, she lived to be 14 years of age. Among our fondest memories of Sally are the "pony" rides she gave our infant daughter, who called her "La-La" |
