| Skippy in her younger days |
Well, here is my dog Skippy. She was born in 1991 and I adopted her when I was 9 years old. The name may sound stupid
but it's better then some of the other names my family came up with. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious come to mind. So,
after much debate we decided on Skippy and I think that that name fit her very well. She celebrated her 14th birthday in May
of 2005. Sadly, she passed away in August of that same year due to a problem with her trachea. She was and still is my best
friend. And considering that the average lifespan of a Basset Hound is 9 years, getting to 14 is pretty impressive.I'm putting
her up on this page because that's simply where she belongs. She'll always be in my heart.

| And here's my little Smeagol |
Well, here's the two new additions to my family. Smaug and Smeagol. They came from the Seattle animal shelter. As you
may have noticed Smeagol is missing his front left leg. That was a birth defect. I saw him and I knew I had to have him. They
both seem to be getting along so far. But they are brothers after all. So they do a lot of squabbling. At 10 weeks old they're
pre-teens as far as rats go. Smeagol is a biter however. I am trying to train that bad habit out of him. I'll have updates
on how it's going.
