Our Furry Family

We'd like you all to meet our furry family. It all started with our cat Kaylee.

She is almost 8 years old. She has always been a nervous cat but is mellowing out in her older age. She is very prissy and likes things her way. She loves to lay on your lap at night but only if you have a blanket or something on your lap. She also brings luck into our house with 6 fingers on each front paw.

Then came Max. He is almost 7 years old. He is a head strong yellow lab. A very mocho man except when it thunders. He than is a scared little boy that wants to hide inbetween his mama's legs. When he was young, he did what he wanted. This includes jumping over 6' brick walls or through single pained windows. If he gets it in his head there's no stopping him. He now has a doggy door and doesn't like wires. As he got older he has relaxed and listens and is very loving. He is a good dog and we love him.

This is Duncan. Duncan died one year ago at the age of 5.5. He is absolutely the sweetest dog. He always wanted to please you and do everything you wanted. He would cuddle so close he couldn't get physically closer to you. He loved his Dad like no other. But above all he loved to play ball and frizbee. He was amazing with his catching ability. You could throw a ball as hard as you could right at him and he'd catch it right in his mouth and love it. He begged for more. If we weren't careful he'd play so much he'd make his paws bloody from running and stopping. Duncan lived life to the fullest and we miss him terribly.

Our baby is Gracie. She is one year old and very much a type A personality. I think she was sent to us to get us ready for our baby. She is wild, does what she wants when she want and hunts anything and everything. We have had to "kitty" proof our house. Close the doggy door at night so we won't wake up to all kinds of surprises. At the same time she is very loving. I have had to work on her a lot to not bite. She is pretty good now (at least with me). This is the one we are worried about with the baby. She gets very jealous. I hope she does well because we really love her and don't want to give her away but if we have to choose between baby and cat I am sorry to say it has to be baby. Even so, Gracie is a joy and she keeps us laughing.
