Here is my dog, Zaboo... I finally got a digital picture of him! (Um, I guess I should have vaccumed the rug first...)

And my Weaving Supervisor - Baxter Black.

Here is some of my gang. I post some more pictures after I return from my ride.

The first one is my daring Penelope. She is 8 months old and full of energy.

The solid black kitten is Penelope's sister, Twister. She has me wrapped around her little paw!

The third guy is my old buddy, Chip. He is my gentle giant. He was feral when I rescued him and it has been a joy to watch his confidence grow.

The fourth picture in this post is my old gal, Munk. She is sweet but does not feel she should have to tolerate the other critters in the house. It is very evident she feel like she is the queen.

Since my crew is rather large I'm sending them in chunks, here is the second round....

The first guy in this set is Churchill. Churchill was found lifeless on a rural road on Derby Day 2004. The good Sam who found him brought him to the clinic where I work part-time. Churchill had a broken right rear leg and his left femur was dislocated. I had just put my beloved cat of 17 years, Scooter, to sleep earlier in the week and could not bear to see this guy put down so I agreed to take him home and nurse him. As we worked on him he wrapped his front paws around my forearm and purred, his steel blue eyes melted my heart. We also learned he had been declawed and had a retained testicle. Our best guess is his owner had intentions of using him as a stud cat until they discovered his testicle issue at which point they dumped him.

The second guy in this series is my buddy, Figaroe. He is best decribed as a clown in a cat suit. He was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism last year. I had him treated with radioactive iodine, which in turn destroyed his thyroid so he, like myself, now is hypothyroid. We both take medication for this issue.

The next cat in this set is my snuggle buddy, Margulis. I found her late one night in our school's parking lot. She was a starving kitten who gladly accepted the food I had to offer as well as a ride home in my pet taxi.

My last cat, is Phoenix. I rescued her on St. Patrick's Day 2006. She, I suspected had been dumped by some people in the apartment complex where my boyfriend lives. She had been hanging around his apartment for over a week begging for food and pets. She reminded me a lot of my buddy Scooter so she came home with me. Once home I discovered she had been declawed and on close inspection I learned she had been spayed. I guess her previous owners moved and decided to toss her for no one answered my ad in the newspaper or had posted any "lost" signs at the local clinics, complex office or pet stores. She is a real bed hog!

Here is, I promise, the last set of pictures of my remaining buddies.

The big guy is Gaston my 5 year old Great Dane. I adopted him from a Great Dane rescue organization 4 years ago. He came with a lot of baggage but I think we have unpacked and dealt with most of his issues. He is in reality a big baby.

The next guy is my blue tick hound, Zorro. He is not the sharpest tool in the shed but he is one very happy dog. He and Gaston are best buddies. It was love at first sight.

The third picture is of my bunny, Marconi. He loves peanut butter!

Finally, the last picture is of my chinchilla, Zephyr. She loves raisins and does not want to be touched - unless you have a raisin in hand for her. She provides a lot of entertainment for my kittens and Phoenix.

I do not have a picture of my long haired guinea pig, Watson, but he is by all accounts a cutie!
