Our Best Friends
After a one-time peak of 3 dogs and 3 cats in his life, Michael’s finally lost his one remaining cat “Crash” to cancer in the spring of 2014 and found himself “petless” for the first time in 29 years! After he and his son’s hearts healed, they headed out to the local humane society to find a new kitty for their household. Little did they know they would be coming home with a brother and sister later that day! These two kittens are now the joy of their life and they sleep in front of Michael’s computer screen almost daily as he works.
For months, Tera was looking online for the perfect play mates for her two young daughters. She accidentally came across the perfect pair of fur babies in a small town newspaper ad giving away puppies. With their sweet, playful spirits, and abundance of cuddles, Tonka and Trixie add so much love and joy to the family. Being brother and sister, they are inseparable and refuse to do anything without the other. They love playing dress up with Tera’s daughters and stay close by their sides making sure the girls don’t get into any mischief without them.
The Conner home offers plenty of cuddles with three dogs, one cat and three chickens; there’s always someone to feed, cleanup after and play with. Molly is the black Shih-Tzu, also knowns as “Boss” and she’s clearly the leader among the group. Gizmo, the small white Shiz-Tsu/Bischon mix is the most playful and demanding of the bunch. Emma was a sweet surprise that a college kid brought home and left behind and is the most cuddly one of the group. Axl, aka. Mr. Meowgi, is the most vocal of the group. It took him several months to get comfortable in his new surroundings, it’s now as if he’s been with this crazy bunch his whole life.
The Berand family enjoys plenty of fun times and laughs with Faith & Whitney. Faith, an 11-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, is full of energy and spends her days patrolling the pasture and keeping all of the other animals in line. She is the boss, and all of the other animals know it. When she isn’t busy patrolling or guarding any food that is nearby, she can be found lying in the yard sunning. Whitney, a 4-year-old Goldendoodle, loves to carry around stuffed animals and when one can’t be found you can find her with a wad of socks instead. She is so sweet and loyal and loves to cuddle.
