Our Pets

Warning:  Our property is maintained for the safety and comfort of our animals.  If you don't like that, please go away!

Princess Izzabelle

Izzy is a one year old AKC Shih tzu female.  She was my 1st anniversary present from Ben!  Her father is a champion show dog (www.cuteshihtzu.com).  I waited patiently for him to sire a bitch since he usually sires dogs and was SO pleased to get her!  She is typical Shih tzu - dumb but happy!  She loves going out on trail rides with us and swimming in the creek.  She's as happy on your lap as she is rolling in, well, anything smelly!  Just hope she has had a bath before she makes it to your lap!

Eddie
 
Eddie is a 10 year old lab mix male.  Kate owned his mother, Happy, and his father Duke (both deceased) and actually birthed Eddie.  He was the runt in a litter of 8 puppies.  Eddie serves as our announcer when someone pulls in the drive (or down the road for that matter) and is very protective of the property.  He is a super sweet boy and is trained in the high jump.

Tux & Ezra
 
Tux is a 7 year old male domestic medium hair kitty.  Kate adopted him from Forsyth County's shelter when he was a tiny kitten in 1998.  He is super sweet and loves to give hugs and nose-nuzzles.  Ezra is a 2 year old female domestic short hair kitty that we adopted from Ben's brother, Darren, in Indiana.  She was supposed to be for a friend, but said friend found a local kitten instead.  When we got her, she was pretty much feral.  Now, she's very loving and vocal...and is a little catnip addict!  Both cats are strictly indoors.
