Proud pet parent of:

shadow and peaches

How we met:

shadow, a lab mix, was adopted from a shelter here at 13 weeks of age. she and her 4 sisters and 1 brother came from a high kill shelter in west virginia. she is 2 years old... peaches, an orange american shorthair, had belonged to an elderly neighbor. when she moved in with her niece, my "'lil mama" was left behind. she eventually made her way to my house where i was actually feeding a couple of stray cats at the time (to this day, almost 4 years later, there is still always a full dish of cat food always out on my back deck for whomever may come by...). she started coming down the house all the time and we decided to keep her and adopt her... or rather i think she adopted us... she's been here since.

Pet likes:

peaches- eating, hunting, lounging in a comfy chair or bed

shadow- playing, running, eating, snuggling, walks

Pet dislikes:

peaches- going out in the snow, being bored, not having her canned food ready right when she wants it...

shadow- being left alone, not being the center of attention at all times...

Pet’s favorite spot:

peaches- curled up on my bed

shadow- in my lap..(all 60lbs of her..)

Pet’s favorite toy:

peaches- does not play with toys..... no really i've tried to find some she would like.. i ended up with a box full of cat toys that she wouldn't touch... so i donated them all.. i kept a couple of catnip mice that she attacks sometimes when shes REALLY bored....

shadow- chew chews!!! tug ropes (until she unravels them..), and her kitty!

Pet’s silliest habit:

they both have a cute eating time set up.......
peaches- she has to choose the flavor of her canned food.. she has 2 b given 2 choices, and then she gets to decide what she wants for that day...

shadow- she has to "beg" 4 her food... she sits up and gives me both of her paws... then she has 2 show me where her food is.. then she runs back 2 her kennel and waits for me 2 finish fixing her dish.....

Pet’s sweetest moments:

when they cuddle up to me......

I crack up when my pet:

shadow-"smiles"

peaches- does back flips and spazzes out
