Obviously, we adore our little kids, occupying our home.  Now, of course, no story of our little kids would be complete without pages of love for Samson, Fluff, Sylkie and Champagne.

Samson, the greatest German Shepherd to have ever lived.  A champion and adoptive parent to our cats. Samson lived a full life surrounded by our love as well as the adoration of his cats.  

A section of this site is dedicated to those that have been with us:  Samson, Sylkie, our first kitten, Champagne and, most recently, the immortal Mister Fluffer.  This, by the way, is from a family that had no

particular concern for cats for many years. We were both dog people and adored our German Shepherd, Samson, who insisted we bring Champagne home.

We have since become dedicated cat lovers as well as unrepentant dog lovers. Our feline loves were Samson's pets before his passing and they remain his in their hearts.

And, now, I hope you enjoy these pictures and brief stories as they are immortalized on the Internet. Enjoy them. And, learn from them and yours as we have.

Hi, folks. Just a few words from the great beyond before I release my magical hold on you.  

From my vantage point here in pup heaven, I see a lot of what happens down there on your puny little litter box - er - planet. Here I sit beside the fireplace of a great, beautiful lodge, watching my master's parents playing cards.  

Sometimes I wander the woods with my little sister, Sylkie, little brother, Champagne and Fluffer.

Fluffer, Champagne, Sylkie and me, taken just a few hours ago as we patiently await your visit.  Waiting for  youuuuu.....t

Of course, someday, all of the family will be here with me.  

Now, as to the works of fine art. My job, in addition to watching over my new little kidlets, is to visit a few museums throughout the world.

As luck would have it, I have found a few that have the most beautiful dog and cat art. For now, I'm sending my "boss" subliminal messages of cat art.
