We got Luna 4 years ago and instantly fell in love with the Blue Heeler breed, so we started looking for another Heeler to add to our family. Leo came into our lives through Suncoast Humane Society and we couldn't be happier! He and Luna look just alike, all the way down to their chocolate milk legs! Everyone thinks they are from the same litter! Two spotted dogs are better than one!

Skyler has been told daily how much he looks like Chewy /Chewbacca!

Four years ago I arrived in Florida from Maryland with two precious kitties. Sadly, six weeks later, one of them died of cancer. A few weeks later I headed to the Suncoast Humane Society to find a pal for my remaining kitty, Miranda. I had in my head that a long-haired calico was the perfect cat for me, but I left with a short-haired part Siamese named Belle. She was all of two pounds and had the most stunning blue eyes!

I renamed her Abbie for Abigail Adams who was the wife of John Adams, the second president of the United States. When I was young, I used to visit my grandparents in S. Weymouth, Massachusetts. Just down the hill on North St. was a house that was built in 1685, where Abigail Smith was born eighty years later. Grandpa and I would walk past it on the way to the barber shop where my partially bald grandfather would get his (one) hair cut. He loved a silly joke as much as he loved sharing his love of history with his five year only granddaughter.

For me, Abbie's new name was both familiar and comforting. I am not sure if she resembled her namesake in personality, but I am certain that she is the strangest cat that has ever owned me. If she sees that I am not wearing my glasses, she makes a beeline for me and hovers over my eyes, nibbling on my eyebrows and eyelashes. She loves an empty stainless sink and digs ninety mph like her goal is to land in another country, and at night, if the light hits her blue eyes just right, they glow red revealing her slightly devilish personality. Abbie is quite a character and I love her with all my heart.

Jayda is a 3 month old Cane Corso. Jayda is a fun loving and chilled pet. We adopted her from my brother who is the breeder and founder of Corsos for Heroes. Corsos for Heroes donates Cane Corsos for disabled veterans and disabled first responders.

Nap time is one of Conan's favorite pastimes! He loves to hold on to baby.

Sleepy time.... both yawning together.!

Adopted Boots the end of May. He was one of three that was sent to rescue in the panhandle when the owner passed. He is learning to play and has become a cuddler. I bring him to the Cape Haze Market on Placida when I set up my Garden Art booth on Tuesdays where he is the official Welcome Waggin. He will be certified as a visiting therapy dog when we can meet for a personal interview.

"Sleeping like a Budda after a great meal"! My niece adopted Smudge and he took over the house and hearts of us all.

Zeva was adopted from Suncoast Humane Society 5 years ago and is now living the Florida lifestyle! She lives with her big sister Little Bob, also adopted from Suncoast Humane Society. From the time Zeva came home, she's been making everyone's hearts smile.

Lucy sleeping through St. Patricks day, braugh and braughless!!!

We adopted Sadie from the humane society about a month ago. She was prescribed as an emotional support pet for my daughter Diane. However she seems to have provided much more emotional support to the entire family! She is greatly loved and loves unconditionally. What a sweetie!

P. S. As you can see the girls are spoiling her big time. February 24th was her 6th birthday.

Nilly came to use from Suncoast Humane Society with her fur friend Willy. Unfortunately, Willy got very sick two months later and had to leave his loving family. Wee Willy then came into our lives and he & Nilly have becomes best of friends. They play, sometimes a little rough, but they are loving, sweet & entertaining, when not sleeping. They snuggle in bed & leave room for their mom & dad. They are our fur babies.

Rosey was 7 months old when we fell in love with her at SHS. She was dealing with mange, completely unsure of herself, and constantly on the move. A year and a half later and she is absolutely loving life, enjoying naps whenever she can find a soft blanket to curl up with.

Conan is 3 years old and is a great travel companion who loves new adventures. In this photo he was visiting Cacapon State Park in West Virginia.

Actual photo of him running to catch a tennis ball!

I adopted Boots late May when he was turned into a Florida panhandle rescue after the owner passed. He's learning to play and his first game is 'find the squirrel'. He chases real and imaginary squirrels from my feeder and the gardens, racing down my 7 themed paths. A couple garden art pieces have been sacrificed when he finds a cat, raccoon or possum trying to enjoy the gardens after dark.
The squirrel costume is complete with a chestnut in the little arms it's his disguise. He such a good boy, tolerating my dressing him up.

Ella is helping her daddy carry some wood to the wood pile, she loves anything she can get in her mouth and carry around! She is a precious little girl and we think she is so special and so much fun to watch!

This is Homer hiking Grandfather Mountain in NC, with his dad.

Meet Fiji the Bat Cat, a rescued kitten from Mohawk Hudson Humane Society 16 years ago! This 17 year old kitten only slows down to sleep when she's not fighting crime. And by fighting crime, I mean eating all the food.

He is handicapped (he has twisted front paws), is deaf, and has 2 different colored eyes. He is completely unaware of his disabilities and keeps us on our toes!

Meet Cali (left )and Biggie (right)! These two pups have turned our lives around and brought so much JOY into our home. Cali was rescued from an overcrowded shelter in Miami and Biggie was a Tampa area puppy mill rescue. These two have been best buds since the day they met each other 6 years ago.

Panda Bear was one of the most beautiful dogs to come into our life both inside and out. His unique personality and love for everyone both canine and human touched our hearts and souls for eternity. Tragically, Panda was diagnosed with advanced osteosarcoma last June. This type of cancer is very aggressive, fatal and the most painful cancer there is for a dog. By then it is too late. Having to end his life was the worst decision of our lives. He was just over six and a half years old.
We are so grateful to the doctors at Lap of Love and all the support they gave us. Not a day goes by that he is not in our thoughts. We know he is now pain free and running with all of our previous dogs, Panda I, Dakota, Tori and Sugar.

Caleb was our Siberian Husky rescue. He was locked in an outdoor pen when they found they couldn't breed him. We rescued him when he was 10 months old. He had never been allowed to run so his legs didn't develop properly and as he aged he had to have surgery on both his hind legs. He was sweet, kind and so gentle. We've had dogs all of our lives and I may not have a favorite child but he was definitely my favorite dog - ever. I took this picture of him the month he turned 11 years old. He found out he had cancer a couple weeks later and he died 4 months after that. He was the dog love of my life and I still miss him.

Sheila was an adorable Shih Tzu/Poodle mix. She was our gift to our daughter on her 7th birthday. She and her dad chose Sheila because of her adorable face and how she came right up to them and engaged with them eagerly. She never cared much for other dogs - she was a true people-loving dog!

Sheila and my daughter grew up together. One of my favorite times was when they would play chase - Michelle would run and say "Gonna get you!" and she and Sheila would race around the house or outdoors on the lawn, in a park, wherever we were.

Sheila was full of energy and always eager to greet people. She loved to roll over and have someone rub her belly - heaven forbid someone broke into our house, she probably wouldn't even bark, just stop, drop and roll! She was quite the barker though, and clearly NO ONE was allowed to pass our house on foot. She was certain she would catch that anole or squirrel, and in fact the "great white huntress" actually killed a snake once! I called her nine pounds of furry fury.

Her love of nature and walks only exceeded her unconditional love for us. She is missed greatly. We love you Sammie.

They Loved having their picture taken!

He rescued me 6 years ago. He was the most gentle, loyal, loving living creature I have had the pleasure of knowing. He loved all dogs, cats, people, his walks and his treats. He danced for joy every time you entered the room. Love you Nicky boy.

Jessie was rescued as a stray at 6 months old. This is her last birthday she was able to celebrate. Over the 15 1/2 years she was unconditionally loved by our family, she taught our other dog how to be a dog, all of us about unconditional love, how fun anything and everything can be, laughter really is the best medicine (besides puppy love), and not chewing your food makes it taste even better!
At about 5 years of age, she was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor on the tip of her tail and beat cancer like a champion after having it amputated. She was like a new puppy and was also one of those special animals that could sense character, tragedy, and love in people.
About 8 months after this photo was taken, she broke her rear leg due to what we believed to be cancer as well. The same week of her surgery, her sister dog developed severe pneumonia and passed away. Jessie recovered well, but after what her body had been through and the loss of her sister, she passed away at home a month and a half later.
This photo is one of my favorites of her because it shows her love for life, (& her love for food) and the endless puppy energy she carried with her nearly 16 years...she partied so hard she couldn't even keep her hat on straight! She was my soul dog and my everything. Rest easy, Jessie Girl.

Bosun & Matey were best buds. They were loving, caring and loved to talk & swim. There were 3 years apart in age, and we lost them both when they were 12 years old, 3 years apart. We love & miss our precious fur babies.

My sweet boy Dwight was my loyal companion for 12 years, he was an instant friend to everyone he met. He was the absolute most faithful, sweet, loving, smart and silliest looking dog ever. He was my shadow and never left my side. He was up for any adventure as long as he could be with me. In his end days, I was amazed, he did everything he could to continue being my best friend and companion. In his last moments he continued to comforted me and gave me one last final kiss a moment before he passed. Dwight's cute little ways, his snuggles are irreplaceable, he is and always will be dearly missed.
