| Mike's pride and joy is Lamar, the guinea pig we bought at a yard sale, who promptly presented us with a bonus the next day, her now not so little son Hufflepunk. (He started out as a -puff, but developed major attitude!) | |
 | A quick shot of some of the dogs: Cowboy, the Australian Cattle Dog, on the ramp, Appy, the Dalmatian/Border Collie, snuffing through the fence, and Buddy the Major Mix (Akita and ?) just staring. |
| Big ol' Duke (mentioned in "Capers"), old and wise. |  |
 | Totally Insane Sheila, Chief of the Fun Police (Also an ACD, aka Blue Heelers) |

| Painty and Nicky Jr in a rare calm moment together |  |
| This is our oldest cat, Tiger Jenny. She's named after my niece Jenny, who is the world's biggest fan of tigers. Both of them are sweet but fierce as needed. |  |
