My Furry Family

Let me introduce you to my furry family. I have 2 cats and as of Feb. 1 dog.
The oldest of the bunch is Lika, she's a German Shepard Husky and was 15 years old. She was such a great dog, I can't say enough about her and she is greatly missed by the family.
Next is Kona I'm not sure what breed he is but I do know he's mixed. He's much younger than he looks, he's just 5, and has the energy to prove it. Kona loves to play catch. My husband and I get tired throwing the ball before he gets tired catching it. He loves to go for walks and begs us to take him with us when we go out. He's a really good traveler.
Then there's kitty, the black cat. She is 3 1/2 and is the only survivor of her brother's and sister's. I heard her crying one day under a co-workers truck. I was told that all the kittens must have gotten up in the engine of his truck. He had seen all the other kittens dead on the road as he traveled home that evening. She's a great cat. She'll come to you only on her terms, if you try to play with her or try to pick her up, she'll either ignore you or swat at you. So finicky but that's okay we still love her.
And last there's Tiger now affectionately called "the bratt cat".
He's just turning a year old and was I found at a garage sale. We think that the owner abandoned him as the house where he came from was empty. For a kitten, he sure is lazy... but very loving. He loves to be carried around on our shoulders and is content to stay there for as long as we'd let him. He loves to sneak up on the others including my husband and I, he'll race Kona for the ball when it's thrown and will bat at Kona if he's not ready to give it up.

  1. It was wonderful to meet your furry family and learn about their stories. All pets are so unique and deeply touch ones' heart. Tiger reminds me of our, Brody and you can see our furry family and their friends over at one of my other blogs:
