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

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

Rebel


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.


When we brought him home.

2016 I think.

2016

2017

As of 7-11-16 he weighed 125 pounds!



Rebel died in the spring of 2017 at around five years old.  :(

 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.

Newborn



Five or six weeks....


When we brought him home...
