This is my seven-year-old black lab/border collie cross. Her name is Ellie, and she is the
sweetest dog in the whole world. She is also an exceptional watch-dog. I never
have to worry about the rabbits when she's around. An example of how smart
she is- I once had a baby bunny get out of the cage, a young one that looked
almost exactly like a mouse. She picked it up in her mouth and brought
it back to me unharmed. She is a silly dog that will chase anything that blows in the wind.
Her favorite toys are a plastic bucket and a squeaky plastic hedgehog. The second picture
is of me and her after the 2004 County Fair where she won Champion Novice Obedience.

Tabitha, a four-year-old collie/lab cross isn't actually ours. Really, she belongs
to the neighbours, but her and Ellie think they belong to both families and
spend an equal amount of time at each house. Tabby is a good "mama" dog
even though she's never been one. She carried the cat around in her mouth like
a puppy until he got too big, and he still likes to sleep with her. She loves Ellie
and gets very upset if Ellie goes someplace without her, even to the vet!!

My ten-year-old cat Rusty, doing what he does best. Sleeping!! He is a really good
mouser as well. He doesn't like the dogs, and Ellie is afraid of him because he attacked her
and scratched her nose as a puppy. His favorite place is my bed and my room. His second favorite
is the front porch. He is very spoiled because he is so special.

Tigger also belongs to the neighbours, but he's not allowed in their house
so he comes over here when he wants more attention. Actually, he's not
allowed in our house either, but he loves our front porch. He's the kitten Tabby
carried around and he thinks he's a dog. He sleeps with Tabbie and Ellie,
chases chickens, and climbs on everything. He also gets into things, like the
chickens nesting box. We call him "the cat that laid the golden egg."

This is Jaws, my blue-violet male Beta. Now I see why no one takes pictures of fish!!
I also have another beta, a red-white-and-blue male named Liberty. But he didn't
want to have his picture taken.
