I have never entered one of Cee’s Fun Photo Challenges before, but the topic this week caught my attention. I live in a ZOO! Well not literally, but I do live with a menagerie of fury, feathered, scaly critters. So I couldn’t pass this one up. I present to you my “babies”. 🙂

This is Henry…our first English Mastiff. We lost him 2-1/2 years ago and I still miss him everyday.

This is Merlin. Born on Labor day…days before 9/11.

And Merlin’s Litter Mate, Sebastian.

Casey…a refugee that we found on the side of the road in 2005 at about 4 weeks of age.

This is Mr. Bean, a Sun Conure and our “watch” bird. Nobody steps on our front porch without Mr. Bean letting everyone know about it!

This is Maxwell, who is THREE YEARS OLD TODAY! 🙂 We adopted him the summer before Henry left us. After months of trying to console him, we decided he needed a buddy…

…so we rescued this handsome fellow, Winston, who will also be 3 in July. He had been abused and abandoned at only 6 months. We work on rebuilding his broken trust every day.

Meet Flash. He’s a Russian Tortoise that we inherited after a family member could no longer care for him. As you can see, he is spoiled at our house!

And finally, this is Lucy…I mean Ms. Lucy. She is the official queen of the house. We rescued her last fall after her family surrendered her to a high-kill shelter. She is blind and deaf, but that doesn’t stop her from getting around AND showing the big dogs who is boss! At 16, the Vet believes she still has 4-5 years to be spunky. We’ll take it!

No one is allowed, or possibly could be, lonely in your home.

That is most certainly true. And those who visit will likely leave with bits of fur on their clothes when they leave. And slime. Mastiff’s are notorious for slime. 🙂
