K.J. loves to ride along in the car and REALLY likes to play catch. He is a good protector of the two cats at home, and is extremely friendly and energetic. We do not know what his breed (or combination of breeds) is?

He is a 6 month old sable Shetland Sheepdog.

Here's Diamond, a one and a half year old Staffordshire who swears she is human when she is in the house but outside she plays the role of a guard dog.

Ginger helps us herd our ducks.

Pachez has to be one of the best dogs I have ever had. People need to get over all the rumors, and stereotyping... Pachez is the most kind and loveable dog, he plays with all the kids, has never snapped, he's not a sissy... he is protective... but if he knows you, you have nothing to worry about!

I'd like to tell you a little bit about our best friend for the past 12 years, Chester. Chester was a fluke find at a local animal shelter here in British Columbia, Canada. Chester (who was a Terrier Mix of some sort) was a very lucky find indeed - not only was he a unique looking dog, but he had the most wonderful personality - although he certainly had a mind of his own...but that is a whole other story! He loved to run, hated cats, and was a superb watch dog. Sadly, we laid our old pal to rest a few weeks back. It was a very sudden illness and our family is still in a state of shock and quite heart broken. We adopted Chester at nine months of age so we never did get to see what he looked like as a puppy - but I'm sure he was irresistibly cute - and we had always talked about "if anything ever happened to Chester" (of course thinking nothing would - that he would live forever) - we would like to find a "Chester" puppy. I know that Chester can never be replaced or forgotten in our hearts, but once the grieving has passed, we will definitely want seek out another dog like our "Chester".

One of the cutest things Daisy II does is to walk up to a portable fan and bark at it as if to turn it on. We should rig it up with a bark-sensitive electronic starter! After she "asked" for the fan to be on, I responded to her wishes -- then shot the attached pic. When it is even the LEAST bit warm outside, Daisy likes to step inside occasionally and cool off. She also likes to lie down in front of the fan and sleep for hours.

Rosco was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Mason Co. WV. I adopted him 6 months ago, and he has become one of the best family pets I have ever known! He appears to be a full breed American Fox Hound, who was dumped out on the side of the road because hunting was not his idea of fun! He enjoys playing with the kids, sleeping late on Sundays, and curling up on the couch to watch a late night TV show! An American Foxhound is generally not recommended as a family pet, but this guy was born to be a family man! The Rosco fan club!

He may look angelic but he's far from it. If he was human he would have freckles, shorts, socks around his ankles, scuffed knees and a catapult!!! But like any child he's loved to bits.

Woody was rescued at aged 5(ish), he is now around 10. I can't believe anyone could be mean to him/abandon him. He is wonderful and makes me smile a 1000 times a day.
