Seven dogs, five cats, and two horses. And three ponds with assorted fish and other wildlife like toads and things I’d rather not think about. The dogs are my parents’, but since I’m still at home, I suppose I should claim them. The cats are mine.
The dogs:(in size order)
** Riley**- male Irish Wolfhound, dumb as dirt, but a sweetie
** Nora**- female Irish Wolfhound, or so they say. She looks more like a deerhound and acts like a terrier. She was raised with Jack Russells and tries to play with them. It freaks them out a little, but they’re mostly good together, mostly.
Percy- Dalmatian, he’s actually my sister’s dog, but she’s living in an apartment with a ‘no dogs allowed’ rule so he’s back home. He was a rescue dog, and he’s the calmest dalmatian I’ve seen. Named after Lord Percy Percy from Blackadder
Grady- um, Grady might be a minature pinscher, if you delete the minature part. He looks like a giant red min pin. Fiesty. That’s Grady. He’s another rescue dog. Formerly my other sister’s cat, she was going through a period where she named all of her dogs after hospital where she’d worked so he’s named after Grady in Atlanta.
Imelda- Imelda is a mutt. We have no clue what she is, but she’s adorable. My sister brought her home as a puppy claming she was a Jack Russell. There’s probably some Jack Russell in her, but there’s something else. She’s named after Imelda Marcos, cos she’s got four white feet or shoes.
Scout- a Jack Russell. We got him and his sister at the same time, they were Zelda and F. Scout Fitzgerald, but Zelda died about two years ago.
Annie- another Jack Russell, very little, but thinks she’s bigger than Percy.
The cats:(In age order)
Elroy- Large black and white cat, aka kitten boy. He has a howl like a Siamese.
Cotton- I had nothing to do with this name, my friend gave me Cotton, they told me they named her that because she looked like a dirty cotton ball. She’s supposedly a siamese without a tail. She’s got the right markings, I suppose, though she’s a bit dark, and she definitely doesn’t have a tail.1
Monty- Small black and white cat, has a tiny baby meow, aka the cat who says Ni!
Wesley- Gray Tabby with a white belly, always looks like he has something evil in mind
Lucy- I got Lucy when my niece was two so my niece got to name her. God knows how she came up with Lucy. Good name though.
The Horses
Ruby Chestnut mare with a stubborn streak a mile long. I love her. Just my type of horse.
Patches - My mother’s horse, a chestnut and white paint, very nice horse who gets pushed around by the other horses.
I could only find pictures of a few of them. Imelda runs from a camera like you’re trying to steal your soul, and Grady always seems to be eating when I’ve got my camera. The cats, well the cats I don’t have an excuse for.
the animals
(seriously, if I ever strike it rich, I’ll have the most eccentric petting zoo ever XD ) My s.o. keeps begging me for a ferret. I bought Sid for him the last time we went to a reptile show. He was feeling left out and wanted his own snake.
