We currently have two dogs (Maggie and Caleb), four cats (A.C.E., Snookums, Houdini, and A.C.E. Jr.), eleven
chickens [nine layers & two roosters] (Digger, Princess, Dot, Fluffly, Dory, Clover, Curly Joe, Blackie, Sweetty Pie Thomas,
and George), four ducks (Cosmo, Skittles, Wanda, and Vickie), one goose (Mother-pun intended), two horses (Bridges-23,
Sweet Pea-6, and two foals Mike & Sully (of Monster's, Inc. fame) - 2.5 months, and seven huge goldfish inside in our
95 gallon aquarium.
Though he's not our oldest pet he's the one we got
first. A.C.E. is the first pet we got after we were married. He is fifteen years old. He's an inside cat
now as most days it's either too hot or too cold for the old guy. On nice temperate days though we let him out for a
romp and he enjoys it quite a bit.

In loving Memory of Pippin...
Pippin Took was an orphaned QH/mix foal that we got through Casey Creek Foal Adoptions. We brought him home
and he stole our hearts with his spunk and spirit. Pippin lived to be six months old. He died one night
while in his stall. He had been sticking his head through the bars of a standard horse gate. No amount of
discouragement would stop him. We had company coming and my h said he'd put something over the gate when he got back
from work & for me to tend to our guests. That very night he stuck his head through the gate and thought he
could not get it out and freaked out. He was dead when my oldest daughter went out to the stall to take him his morning
milk. It was very sudden but we were enriched by the time we had with him. He was very sweet and I was able to
let him nap with his head on my lap. We miss him deeply and wanted to honor him with this rememberance.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Werner, Pamela, and her brother for dropping
everything on a HOT Saturday morning to come help this teary-eyed horse-owner. Werner brought his back-hoe and things
were taken care of quickly. They wouldn't take any payment either, so I would like to pay them with this recognition
and my deepest thanks.
I would also like to thank Pamela's mother for helping with the communication during such a stressful
time.
It is nice to know there are still "good people" around in this world!
