The Family
Some of the members of "the family"

This item requires reviews with ratings.
We are a proud family of 9 dogs, 11 cats, 2 horses, 2 ring-necked doves, and a passel of chickens.  Oh, yeah, two humans. 

We used to have rabbits, Boer Goats, turkeys, quail, geese, ducks, pigeon, guineas, and a partridge in a pear tree.  Okay, so we didn't have a partridge.  But we do have Roadrunners on the property every now and then - along with armadillos, raccoons, skunks, foxes, snakes, toads, frogs, turtles, lizards, and various kinds of birds and insects.  We also have honey bees, a hive in the wall of an old building on our property. 

This photo album contains pictures of most of the family - birds and humans not included at this time.  Stories of many of the animals, current and past - pictured here and not -  can be found in
