My Pets

My life would not be complete, and neither would my web site, without my furry family.  Here is a collection of beloved friends, some still among us and some waiting just over the Rainbow Bridge.

Merlin, Blue Great Dane

 

Merlin has been with me since he was a puppy.  I got him from a breeder in the Austin area.  He is such a mama's boy!

Topaz, Harlequin Great Dane

Topaz came to me from the Southwest Great Dane Rescue Club.  She was a champion show dog who was bred till she couldn't have any more puppies then placed for adoption.

Voodoo, Black Great Dane

 

Voodoo was with me from puppyhood.  She passed away in Fall of 2003 at age 11.

Majiik, Fawn Great Dane

 

Majiik was the first Dane I raised from puppyhood and she is responsible for my love of the breed.  She passed away in Spring of 2001 at age 12 1/2.

Bart, Black Great Dane

Bart is the son of Merlin and Voodoo, my one foray into dog breeding.  He belongs to my best friend, Bob.

Sydney, Lemon Borzoi

I bought Sydney at a garage sale!  He'd been badly abused and required a lot of love.  He had a lot to give back in return.

Lucy, Irish Wolfhound

I had Lucy from puppyhood.  She died young from hereditary kidney disease.

Gus, Irish Wolfhound

Gus came to me from the Irish Wolfhound Rescue Club.  His owner loved him, but she had terminal cancer and could no longer take care of him.

Harlequin, Barn Cat

Harlequin is hard to photograph because he always either hunting or asleep on my lap.  No other lap will do!  I brought him home from my mom's farm one Christmas.

Jasmine, Siamese Mix

Another Christmas import from my moms ranch.  Jasmine has all the beauty of a Siamese and none of the temperament. 

Gypsy, Calico Street Cat

Gypsy was rescued from the streets by my vet, and I adopted her when Cloud died.  She has never forgotten her cold and hungry homeless life.  The heater grate is her god.

Rocket, Desert Tortoise

Really, it doesn't have a name.  This wild tortoise showed up in my yard several years ago and has lived with me ever since.  It follows me around just like the dogs and cats, everyone thinks it's funny to see.
