The things that make me smile... (my menagerie)

this is mimi. (she is a great snuggler)
this is gracie lou freebush. she is kind of a bitch. she is one of those cats that appears to be very sweet. she will lick you and be all nice and just when you let your guard down she bites you.

this is cinnamon. she is the cat that keeps order in the house and god forbid you step out of line.. you get a brooklyn cat beatdown. (this includes her humans as well as other fur-siblings)

this is louie. she likes to think she's running the show around here but, cinnamon keeps her ass in check. she is one of those dogs that, because of her small stature, she feels she has to "act" tough. i have watched her launch herself at the front door when someone comes over and when you open the door to let her prove herself a worthy guard dog, she hauls ass to the furthest room in the house and can usually be found trembling under a piece of furniture. LOL

this is smokey and blue. smokey is the one yawning. they will actually be 2 on march 7th. i just felt the need to put up this photo of them as babies because they were freakin cute. they are still really cute but have changed alot. (i will put up more recent photos of them another time so you can see how much they have changed) smokey is very protective of his sister blue and can usually be found sleeping with her or on her.

this is bailey. she's my lab/sheppard mix. she is as sweet as she looks and can usually be found with the kids. (either being layed on or rode) LOL

lastly we have otis. he is the baby of the family and the largest. he is an american bulldog. he is only 7 months old and already pushing 100lbs. this pic. was taken during a recent snow storm. it was his first experience with snow and he LOVED it! i always wanted a bulldog but had no idea just how stubborn he would be. (or how gassy) this guy farts and can clear a room in seconds. LOL he is a great protection dog though! when he barks, people generally will walk in another direction. (note: great dog for keeping those early moring bible thumpers away from your house as well as anyone soliciting)
