Wait a minute . . .you have no pets? At all?

That's weird. I could not live without my furry children.

You need to at least get a turtle or something!

When we moved out here 3 three ago we had a Beagle. Great dog who, at our old house, would climb trees and out at the new place had a ball roaming around. In Aug '03 she, we think, got kicked in the head by a deer and died the next day.

Since then I've been waiting to finish my barn and get a fence around the back 2.5 acres so we can at least keep any future dogs from roaming too far. As soon as the fence is up we're getting two dogs so hopefully that will happen this spring. I miss having a dog around.

A few barn cats are needed. I've got mice in the barn already.
