some more "characters"





Well, the hubby and the kids aren't the only characters around here. We've also got some four and two legged friends who live chez nous.

Kory: Our beloved 13 year old Border collie. He's been my faithful companion for a long time, and I tried to figure out the other day, about how many walks we must have taken together. I'm thinking it's in the 1000's, through woods, fields, streets, creeks, up and down lots of hills, and in all kinds of weather. You need to get to know him now, because he may not be around too much longer.



Nyah: She's the princess of the house. Beautiful Miss Nyah. We picked her up last Christmas from a lady who had found her in a cardboard box and nursed her back to health. But since
she already had a dog and three cats, her husband didn't really want
her to keep another one. We got her
because we get mice in the winter, and had heard that female cats were great mousers. Ha! she actually goes
out and gets mice, brings them in and
plays with them, and then lets them go in the kitchen! I once saw her hold one down with her paw and lick it, you know, you gotta have clean mice to poop in your silverware drawer!!


Even tho we don't have them anymore, I'll just show you her darling kitties. After all, they were once characters in our house. When they were weaned, we gave them away to good friends, and we know they are very happy in their new homes.



Introducing Charlie, Early and Gaston, any cuter you would die of a cuteness overload!

Mabel, Ethel and Gladys: our biddies! We are very thankful to
them for 3 fresh eggs every day. Yes, there were four of them at one time, but Myrtle went to hen heaven this summer. You can see what a good herd dog Kory is here :).
