Everyone say awwww…

We found Abby via the St Louis Senior Dog Project. She is a gorgeous Beagle mix and is more than deserving of a loving home.

Poor Abby spent the first 8 years of her life chained up in a yard with nothing but a barrel for shelter.

She is incredibly well behaved and a very loving old girl, which is surprising given her prior situation, but thanks to her loving and caring Foster Mom, she has become a wonderful friend for someone who wants to love her. We happen to be that lucky family.

Welcome to our family, Abba Dabba Do!

Duncan is the newest addition to the McCrorey family.

He is an 18 month old kitty with a big fat case of the snuggles.

He was surrendered to animal welfare when his family were moving interstate to look for work and couldn’t afford to keep him.

He’s adorable and we’ve fallen in love with him already.

Benni is a Rottweiler x Kelpie.

We found him 10 years ago, at 6 months old, in the local pound while looking for a kitten (long story!).  He was so cute sitting there, head tilted to one side…. just looking at us.  No excitement…. no going nuts like all the other dogs in their cages, no competing for our attention.  Just quietly sitting there looking at us, willing us to take him home.

That’s exactly what we did…. after making sure that he and our German Shepherd, Marley, would get along.

Benni had been badly mistreated at some stage in his young life, and was a frightened, fretful, skittish little thing .  He was terrified of brooms and mops… anything that looked like a stick.

Over the years he has become the most beautiful creature.  He lives to please, to be loved, adores his three (two legged) kids and is incredibly obedient.

At ten years old, he is one of the fittest animals I have ever seen.

This is Benni a few weeks ago …. at play.

Not bad for a ten year old, huh?

Since I was teensy (and teensy is something I can never remember being) I have always had animals around me and I will be a little lost without a pet once we get to San Francisco.

Like it or not I am going to share my puppy and kitty love with you all :)

So, go hither and see what a really dysfunctional family has as pets.
