    Hello and Welcome!! I loved seeing pictures of your clan. I especially love Taffy and Deputy.
    As others said, you will fit in just fine here. Oh, and just a warning.....we LOVE pictures.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Oh, you don't even want to know how many we've had in the past. Lets see:

    Dogs
    Nina: Spaz husky we got from the shelter when I was 6. Ended up giving her to a breed rescue we she became too much to handle.
    Nala: Little mix from the pet store. She was the most loving and smart dog I've ever see. Lived to be 13, PTS because of lymphoma in '08.
    Chance: Overly protective chow mix from my dads coworker. Gave to a soldier at Ft. Hood when we had to move and he growled at my mom.
    Chevy: Lab mix that we nicknamed "Lenny", she resembled the guy from "Of Mice and Men" in the mental department. Was scared of her own shadow and had no sense of smell. She came from a lady whose daughter got her from her boyfriend. She was left in the backyard for years, was covered in over 40 ticks when we got her. PTS in '10 from diabetes, kidney failure, arthritis and an untreatable skin issue. She was also 13.

    Cats:
    Miss Kitty: Grey and white cat I had when my dad was stationed in the Marshall Islands. Had to leave her with a fisherman when we left.
    Fluffy and Mischief: Twins my mom got from a coworker. Fluffy eventually had a few litters and Misch ran away.
    Peewee: Fluffy's last kitten. Had her for 10 years before she was taken by coyotes in '09.
    Kobyashi: Little tuxedo kitten I found in the bushes in front of our house in OK. Had to be put to sleep a week later because of distemper.
    Houdini aka Hoody: Little black kitten. Cute but evil. He thought he was a dog half the time. He would follow me and my dogs on walks up in the woods. Once he wrapped himself around Zane's face like something out of an alien movie. He also ate my "Page Down" key on my laptop. He too was lost to the coyotes.

    Goats:
    Juan: The first goat I ever had. Had to sell him becuase we had to move and he was too aggressive. (He was a Pygmy who managed to chase my 200+ lb dad off the back porch.).
    Josie (1) and Belle Starr: The first goats we got when we moved here. Both bolted when we got home. Also where as feral as heck. It's hard to find a non-feral Pygmy around here.
    Luvie and Duvie: Sister we got from a B&B in Beorne. The lady had literally 500+ goats of all kinds. Luvie had Snickers and Duvie had a buckling named Archie. Luvie was killed and sold Duvie and her son to a lady who missed having goats. (Duvie rammed everything that moved and her son was missing a few screws.)
    Sonny: Pure Pygmy that was a cull from a breeder. He was stuffed into a little dog crate in the feed store. He went on to sire many kids and irritate me so much that I sold him. Think of a High School jock stuck in the body of a goat.
    Belle: Little brainless doe also from the B&B. She and her son, Juli, along with Sonny, went to go live somewhere else.
    Brier: Little deer like doe from the B&B. Had Bunny, then eight weeks later was killed by a puma.
    Wyatt: Boer cross buck from the B&B we PTS after he became paralyzed from a brain worm.
    Coco Puff: Chocolate colored Nigerian Dwarf from the feedstore. Died from Goat Polio.
    Josey and her daughter, Ginger Snap: Pure blood Boers. Goats bred purely for meat = brain shrinkage. Could not figure out how to walk out of an open gate.
    Rollo: Snickers first son and Oreo's brother. Sold him to a guy and his wife, guy either got tired/overwhelmed, so he dumped him on my neighbors property and I had to go get him. He is now living happily at another guy's farm, making more kids.
    Loki: Boer cross, made a few kids before I decided to stop breeding. He also is happily "employed".
    Brigitte: Pyschopathic Miniature Silky Fainting Doe cross. Sold her after she killed one of her babies and started trying to do away with the rest of the herd.
    Fox and Ginger: Bunny's kids. Fox got stuck in the birth canal and almost didn't make it. Fox is also the reason I have three preggo goats right now.
    Anna: Gracie's sister, went along with Fox and Ginger to live on a big 500 acre ranch.

    Horses
    Little Bit: Proud cut bay QT . A 15h gelding who thought he was a 17h stallion. Sold because we had to move.
    Tuxedo: Rescued draft cross. Sold once he became too dangerous.
    Dusty: A 22 year old Appy X Mustang, died from a heartattack last year. He was born on a Navajo Reservation, sold to a couple who did Field Trials and then sold to me, since he was "useless" to them and couldn't be bred.

    Mini Pigs
    Avery: Female killed by a bob cat.
    Hammy: Male we sold when he became too destructive.

    Plus chickens (Pheonix, Raven and Fawn), rabbits (Gidget and Roy), rats (Ratty, Blaze and Midnight), mice, a ferret, birds, snakes and fish.

    BTW, I'm 21. Pics on the next page.

    Welcome to pet talk. I loved all of the pictures, especially your goats. I really love goats. I'm Bill and live in Alabama with wife Celia, Koko my pup (100 Lb) that thinks she is a lap dog, and Rascal a Tux that is Koko's best friend. I am sure you will fit right in with our world wide community. It looks like you have a lot of future nominees for pet of the day.

    Aww, Pee Wee looks identical to my kitty Taz. I lost Taz to CRF back in July of 2009.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
