Dogs

North
The
Pack

Read a little bit about us - Adrian and Duffy. Some people think we are totally nuts to live with so many animals. Those who understand, know that we don't own these critters - they own us. Their lives are usually so short compared to our own that we must do everything we can to ensure that each and every day of their lives is full of happiness and joy. Many of these animals - especially the cats, might have met with unpleasant deaths much earlier in life had they not been adopted.

The Pack

We are lucky enough to be blessed with the daily love and company of these wonderful members of our family.

Kate
Our Aussie Shepherd-cross.
Daisy
Daisy May is a Cardigan Welsh Corgi with an endless supply of energy.
Ambrose
This little orange tabby is a regular tiny tiger.
Grendel
The cat who acts like a dog. Grendel is very friendly and a very cool dude. He is also an excellent mouser.
Sisko
The monster cat! Fifteen pounds of terror! He's a good boy at heart but can be a troublemaker when he wants to be.
Leah
Sisko's litter-sister is just so darn cute.
Billie
Watch out Leah, there's a new kitty girl in the house!
Louis
Shades of Sisko! Louis is Billie's brother.
Duke
What a cute buy! Duke is is Billie and Louis' brother.
Claudia
And now we have Mom too! Claudia is mother to Billie, Louis and Duke.

In Memoriam

Waiting for us in God's care are some of the most loyal friends life has known. They play together and await our own eventual arrival.

Chief
Resident Malamute clown, pretty boy, lap dog, and all-round lazy guy. Loves food and tummy rubs.
Adam
Adam was a truly one-of-a-kind canine friend.
Melanchthon
Melanchthon was the feline patriarch.
Luther
Ol' blue eyes.
Kira
A smart, sensible, and sensitive Malamute girl who loved her Mom and Dad. Her smile would always bring a smile to your face too.
Paddy
Paddy was little kitty girl with a big personality. She made everyone smile. Her sudden passing at a young age was so unexpected and she was so obviously missing from the house. We remember how she brightened the life of everyone she met.
Mordecai
Mordy was with Duffy for seventeen years until he left us on Good Friday, 2000. To the end he remained a real character. Unfortunately the final years of his life were complicated with arthritis, and finally kidney failure. Nonetheless, he made sure that life with him was always interesting.
Archie
Archie ruled the roost like no other cat has since.
Isaac
Archie's best buddy was Isaac - Duffy's first pet when she moved out of home.
Kierkegaard
Duffy's 'once-in-a-lifetime' dog. Kierk never forgot that Duffy rescued her at the Humane Society. By far the smartest dog Duffy has ever known.
Luke
This big, lovable stray brought joy to everybody he visited as a therapy dog. Luke was Duffy's first Malamute.
Hagar
This tiny Cocker Spaniel was a first-rate therapy dog.
Moses
Moses was a French Lop-Eared Rabbit who loved to chase cats.
