Rusty: Rusty is the oldest of all my pets, and the first. He's an 11 year old GR/Rottie x GSD mix. He's been my best friend since I was 6 years old. I bought him for the memorable sum of 25¢, from my uncle who's dog Kimo had been 'got' by dog on the other side of the fence when she was 9 months old. He's a grumpy old coot, but we get along most of the time as long as I remember that I am tied to the leash for safety reasons, and not the other way around.
Hunter: Hunter is my recently gelded (as of 06/10/2010) Palomino PaintxQH horse. He will be 3 years old on July 12, 2010. Hunter was a big step for me. Last March (2009) My horse, who I'd had for 5 years, passed away from an unknown cause (probably poisoned by a neighbour). My dad bought Hunter for me on September 5th 2009. Already, Hunter and I are best of friends. He follows me everywhere, whinnies and runs to the gate when he sees me. No bad for a stallion ;3. I love my boy.
General Weed: More commonly known as Sourweed, an alias reflecting his temper, is my eldest cat. On June 21st, 2010 (today ;3), he turns four years of age. Though it is said that neutering a cat makes him friendlier, it had the opposite effect on poor weedy ;(
Kitten (not pictured): Sourweed's younger sister from a different litter. She is now almost four aswell. Kitten was born in early winter, from one of the semi wild barncats at hang around at the stable. Her mother, Maggie, had to be put down due to us finding her with a broken hip and femur. When their mother failed to return a a 3.5-4 week old litter of nine set out to find food. We were only able to save 5 of them, kitten being one of the lucky ones. We found her in one of the heated horse water buckets. There was only about two inches of water and a tiny wet kitten in the bottom. He feet and tail had frozen so badly that most of her tail as well as for toes had to be amputated. She has several claws missing aswell. Out of the five we saved, kitten was the only one we kept (the others we placed in good indoor homes). Kitten is a very sweet cat, as soon as she's picked up she becomes limp as a ragdoll and drowns you in purrs.
Chocolate Fox: Chocolate Fox is Kitten's son. He is currently 10 months of age, and is the friendliest cat I have ever seen. He is currently sporting the 'lion cut' and loves it. He's a housekitty at heart, but loves his outdoor moments.
Karma: Karma is the newest addition to the pack. His sire is from imported working lines and is a purebred Dutch Shepherd. His Dam is a purebred Belgian malinois also from imported working lines. Karma is the small fry of his litter, his tail is a bit short, but other than that he is absolutely perfect. He will be trained in personal protection work if I can ever find a trainer in the area. For now, were working on basic obedience and socialization. The original idea was to get an older puppy/young adult Belgian Mal, or Dutchie from a rescue group. But after 8 months of searching for the perfect match with no success, I decided it was time to look at other alternatives. Karma was the result ;3.
