Meet Chloe 2006 - 2019

This is Chloe, Rio's sister, we decided in March of 2007 to
take her home. She is a
smooth collie and a blue merle, her hair is a bit
longer and softer and is not as stiff like Rio's. Their mom
was a long haired or rough collie and their dad was a short
haired or smooth collie. Its so cute she
is more like her Mom, she is smaller, quiet, loving and reserved
and Rio is a spitting image of his Dad and is spastic, outgoing and to full
of energy, so does that mean we got the best of both
worlds...? or does it mean a lot of sibling rivalry?? Either
way I love them both and they adore each other, and our
older dog Desiree loved their company to. Collies are great
dogs, I was always stuck on German Shepherds but I do
believe Collies have a much more well rounded temperament
and personality, I'm so glad I decided to give this breed a
try.
Meet Rio 2006 - 2018

This is Rio in puppy form. He is
beautiful Blue Merle Smooth Collie and has one blue eye. His
coat will stay nice and short just like it is now. He was
born on 10-2006 and is 2 months old in this picture and weighs in at
12-lb. He is a real sweetheart. He is helping
us to heal after the loss of Annie.
Below is Rio Growing up, he is 6 months old here and is
turning into a beautiful BIG boy, he is up to 45 lbs now.
His dad is 85-lbs eeek. We decided not to bother making his
ears tip down in traditional Collie fashion, its a lot work and takes a lot of special
tape and glue to make them look like "Collie" ears. Some
Collie ears tip naturally on their own but I think the good
nutrition in his food kept that from happening so we decided
to let him be him and leave them alone since we are not
planning to show him anyway. Our pets are just spoiled
rotten pets!

Here they are at approx. 2-1/2 years old, this pic was
taken Feb of 2009. Rio, on the left, is close to 80 lbs and
Chloe, on the right, is is just about 60 lbs.

Meet Cassie May 1997 - 2016

This is Cassie May our Burmese cat. She was 12 years old
when this picture was taken, and was such a character. She really
thought she was a
dog, she loved doing doggy things like sitting in my lap
getting lots of attention and playing fetch with pom pom
balls, she always had to be right on top of me, sitting on
me, no matter where I am. I was never a cat person but
this breed is SO cool she totally changed my mind about
cats, I would get another Burmese in a heart beat. They love
their owners and are always coming around to show you their
affection.
Meet Desiree 1997 - 2010

This is Desiree our Canaan
Dog, which is a wild breed from Israel. This picture was taken when she was almost 13 years old and I know this food literally added years to her
life. She was a good Mom to my other 2 pups and the kitty.

Here she is in the summer of 1997 at approx. 3-4
months old, she was absolutely adorable! She loved to smile
and talk to us and had a crazy cute howly bark.
Meet
Annie 2000 - 2005

This is Annie our sweet white German Shepard. She was
very active and loved, loved, loved to run and frisbee. We
lost her way to soon.
