How many pets do you have?: 4- A black labrador retriever mix named Jake, a black domestic short haired cat named Baby and two gerbils named Atticus and Edward which actually belong to my daughter.

About my pets:: Jake is a Labrador Retriever Mix and he was born in February 1997. He used to belong to another family member and we were supposed to watch him over a weekend. Well, as it turned out the weekend stay turned into a new permanent home for this 6 month old cuddly puppy. My husband wasn't very pleased with the new addition back then but now Jake is a big part of our family.

He used to be a typical puppy- chewing on anything he could sink his puppy teeth in, digging holes in the back yard, etc. He almost drowned in our pool when he decided to try to walk on the solar cover early one morning. Luckily I heard the noise and I rushed to his rescue. He was terrified and still to this day won't go into any water. After a lot of work we were able to get him used to taking baths and now he loves hopping in the bathtub.

He loves going for car rides, walks on the beach, naps with "Mom", and of course: Treats!

The “kids” are doing great, but they miss camping (and so do I) but duty calls and we can’t be on vacation for ever. Josie has taken up the roll as entertainment coordinator and keeps the two older ones active the best she can. She’s such a happy little dog and her glass is always half full.

Thanks for commenting on my photos, I have another photo of Molly "driving" our motorhome, I'll have to add that one as well. I look forward to seeing your photo of Minnow

I still have to down load all the new pic's of Tater, who by the way, has a real bad cold, green mucas coming out of his nose, Dr. Ladd seems to think it could be kennel cough. Even though he got the vaccine the day I took him to Arbor View, 2 weeks ago Wednesday, & he hasn't coughed at all. Who knows, but I hope it is just a cold, since he was around all the puppies at Puppy class graduation.
Only time will tell. Hold down the fort, at work!!!!

Casper is a darling!! he's my closest freind, and has saved my life, I suffer from a breathing disorder and have stopped breathing in my sleep. Casper has jumped on my chest and throat making me cough and start breathing again!! Cesar was named after Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer, who I follow with earnest. He's the best!!
