My Cool Pet Theodore Joseph Tomas, "Theo" came to our family by way of a co-worker of my daughter. He and his sister had been dropped off at a neighbor who was unable to care for him. In the meanwhile, he developed Parvo and the wonderful neighbors pitched in for his expensive care. It shows the very best in people caring for an abandoned pet. He is now healthy and happy and is a source of much happiness for us all.

This is the story of a little bird that fell from his tree. To our dismay, out of nowhere comes a crouching cat ready to pounce! Of course we had to rescue the little guy. He was soooo ugly - hardly enough feathers to cover his little body. But was he demanding. We had to feed him every 20 to 30 minutes. Within days he was able to sit on a perch where he immediately started to chirp his life away. One week later he flourished to the cute little "Birdie" you see with our "Brewsky." Unfortunately, we had vacation plans and so reluctantly we turned him over the SEACCA. There the ladies took to him quickly as he pranced and chirped for all to see. We were told he still needed about two more weeks before he would be able to fly on his own. They promised to care for him until he is able to fly the coop.

These beautiful kitties are my feline daughters, Natasha Garland and Katharine (Kate) Davis, who I named after four of my favorite actresses. They are biological sisters I adopted when they were seven weeks old. They turned 5-years-old in April. They enjoy watching the ducks that live in the complex and chasing each other up and down the stairs. As with true sisters, there are squabbles, but then they cuddle up for a long nap.

This is our dog "Charley," a 140 pound, 3-year-ol, black Newfoundland Dog. The breed is described as the Gentle Giant, although many relate him to a bear. His admirers call him one-of-a-kind, amazing, fabulous, unbelieveable as well as beautiful. Charley is a loving, loveable and devoted dog. He can be playful or subdued.
Charley and his owner Richard can be seen walking the city streets, at the shopping mall and parks. It's not unusual to hear, "Hi, Charley." from the tennis and basketball courts and baseball fields. He gets along well with other dogs, kids and adults.
This dog is a joy to own and to share with others. I wish we had a nickel for every picture that has been taken of him.
