Our kittens are growing fast. We only have three left and guess what? I can't part with them. When I gave the first two away I felt like I was giving up my kids.

Mia likes to sit on my shoulder and watch me crochet.

They have adapted nicely with our other five cats and our two dogs.

If you would like to adopt a loving homeless pet please visit The Pleasants County Humane Society, or visit your local shelter.

Fall has always been my favorite time of the year and Halloween is so much fun! My brother had a Halloween party this year but only a few of us dresssed for the occasion. Included in this pic are my nephew's Matthew and Josh, my husband Chad, me and my granddaughter Mackenzie.
Mackenzie (who is six) was quite surprised when I walked into her house with a green face. She came running to the door and stopped dead in her tracks, her only comment was OHHHH! James (my two year old grandson) stared at me and didn't know who I was until I spoke, then his only response was "Oh mamaw"!
I am alittle dissapointed because we didn't get to have our annual pumpkin carving this year. My husband has been out of work and money has been alittle tight.There is always next year.

Every year we have the kids over for the big pumpkin carving event, complete with "pumpkinpoo" fights. James enjoyed eating the "pumpkinpoo" more than the carving.

Beautiful Sunrise Above Middle Island Creek

It seems sometimes we get to busy to enjoy all the beautiful wonders of life. I've been off work a few days with my back and have taken the time just to sit back and relax. If you look closely at the tree to the right, it looks like a dog looking up at the sunrise.

2006-09-24T05:35:00.000-07:00

Lucky is actually our neighbor's dog. He decided to adopt us and is now part of our family.

2006-09-03T17:41:00.000-07:00

Mr Pink and Blondie, taking an afternoon snooze. Blondie is actually a male, but he was so wild when we got him we could not tell if he was male or female. I was so sure he was a female, by the time we found out his sex the name Blondie was already set. (Sorry
boy)!

2006-09-03T17:22:00.000-07:00

Blackie and his brother Blondie were found on the streets of Marietta, they were young and very wild. It took them nearly a month to come out from under the bed and a couple more months before we could even touch them. Now they are just as friendly as our other as our other five cats, except for when the grandkids are here.
All of our pets we have were unwanted and unloved..PLEASE..Be responsible and have your pet spayed or neutered.

Huey is just one of our pets we rescued from the city pound. He was found out in the country, tied to a fence. He is very protective of our grandchildren and such a loving pet.
