Growing up my favorite breed of dog was always the Siberian Husky. I'd wanted one forever and was saving my money to buy a puppy from a breeder. On my sixteenth birthday my parents took me to see some puppies and I came home with Storm! She has been the best first dog ever (I grew up with dogs but they weren't actually mine) and I've learned a lot with her. I discovered clicker training with her and quickly became fascinated with the new way of training. I owe her every success I've had with Jackal because she taught me everything. I love this dog!!
My beautiful Stormy died on 2-24-2014 from chronic kidney failure. There will always be a piece of my heart missing. I will always miss my gorgeous girly girl.

Gray Kitty
2001-2016
She Who Must Not Be Named a.k.a. Gray Kitty... yes we are Harry Potter nerds LOL! Gray Kitty belonged to my husband before I met him. He got her as a kitten from a retired military German lady in 2001 before he even moved to the state where we live now, so she's traveled some miles. She's a spayed female cat of unknown breed, but she so closely resembles a Russian Blue that many people ask if she is. For all we know she may be. All I know is she's gorgeous, friendly, extremely smart and a total pest! :D

Crockett is a registered, pure Myotonic buck. He comes from foundation stock. He had a show history and wins that spanned several states in the region. He was injured several years ago and had a crooked leg and arthritis in both knees.
We rescued Rebel from a hot parking lot where someone left him in the sun with no food or water. Our best guess is that he's Pygmy/Spanish goat cross. We aren't sure how old he was when we brought him home on 10-1-14, but he had to be less than two years old.
As of 7-11-16 he weighed 125 pounds!
Rebel died in the spring of 2017 at around five years old. :(
Newborn
Five or six weeks....

Apatite For That
Apatite is named after a mineral (the spelling is correct, it is not supposed to be appetite although the pun is intended) to stick with our gemstone/mineral naming theme. He will be our future herd sire. At four and a half months old he was 38lbs.
