I receive a number of emails every day. Along with the inquiries, I get lovely pictures and notes from past clients that update me on their family and pets. I love those picutes and that is why I post them. We share a common bond.

Occassionally, I get sad notes from clients that have lost their best friend. They are sad and heart felt. This time we lost one of our very best friends. Fanny was a rescue brindle greyhound that we got when she was under two and she lived to be sixteen years old. Although that is supposed to be really good, it hurt us to lose her. She romped and played for many years. Her best friend is another rescue standard poodle that is also well up in her years. She is very depressed and refuses to get in Fanny's chair. She was such a good dog — never made a mistake in the house; never had a problem with other dogs or cats; never ran off from the property; extremely loyal and very loved. She ran outside for a walkie with her friends, romped around and, when finished, bounded through the door and jumped into her chair, then suddenly had a massive heart attacked and just fell over. She is running with her friends now, young and beautiful and we hope to see her again one day. We all miss you Fanny!

Our lovely desert animals continue to amaze me. I love placing a new critter here for everyone to enjoy. Again, most of you know we not only have the Sphynx cats, Warmblood horses and Chinese Crested dogs that we breed and offer to the public, but we also have barn cats, rescued dogs, pot belly pigs (see photo below), chickens, peacocks, koi and other critters that we enjoy everyday. Along with our eclectic group we have wild animals that seem to thrive here as well. However, in this edition I wish to show off our beautiful Peanut (aka "Nutty"). She is a hairless Chinese Crested that we placed with a great lady in Colorado. She wanted to add to her friends, Newton and Lassa (pictured above), but it did not work out as expected. Nutty just did not like the deal one bit. She bonded okay with the people, but did not bond with the other dogs so well. Anyway, Nutty returned and is thriving in my husband's spoiled ways. Oh well, welcome home baby. We also have chipmunks, plenty of quail, a coyote of course, a billion rabbits and wild birds of every shape and fashion. Life is good, but someone tell my husband they can not all stay!

In case you are new to our website and reside outside the USA, we welcome your visit, any pictures and comments, and we do limited shipments outside the continental United States. The requirements are quite a bit to deal with and when a client changes their mind or falls off the radar so-to-speak, it causes me to be stuck with an animal that is now older and more difficult to place. If you are overseas and wish one of our little friends, do as others have and look into an agent to pick up your animal from us here. Your agent can get all the tests, microships, quarantines and whatnot per your country requirements and ship your new friend as soon as it is possible. If that is not possible, then let's discuss your needs. I am older now and prefer concentrating on my animals here and will be happy to show anyone our selection, ship anywhere in the USA, but will help with shipments outside the USA on a limited basis!

Keep caring for your animals and remember good health for our pets is our responsibility. Everyone loves to be loved. A pet is a comfort, a joy and a buddy forever. Consider what joy a new pet can bring into your life or that of someone you love. Call or email us now to bring happiness home!

Thanks for all your support. I hope you continue to come back and enjoy our site and most especially, our animals. They are the stars of our show!

And Remember:
— All animals come with a health guarantee
— We only have a limited selection
— We support and perform animal rescues!
