Our Pets

Here are some pictures of our dogs and cats that let us live with them here at Botanical Acres.

Her name is Nugget. We got her from Joe & Kristy. She was born May 11th, 2003.

When we got her she was only about 4 1/2weeks old, and we had to feed her substitute puppy milk

Cooter is great with her, they have a big time!

This is Cooter, some puppy and big pictures. We got him from the Humane Society mid March 2002.

This is Puggy our snaggle-toothed persian indoor cat. He has such long hair, that Kirk trims it with the clippers every few months. Here he is asleep in his favorite spot, and looking out one of his favorite windows.

This is one of two outdoor cats, Copy Cat.

The late Bubba was a tabby also, and looks just like CC. That is where CC got his name!

In addition to these official pets, Botanical Acres is home to several opossums, raccoons,
armadillos, road runners, frogs, lizards, butterflies, and zillions of birds.

We actually had a Peafowl that showed up one day and wouldn't leave.
We believe him to be a male about 2 years old. We finally found a peafowl rancher
in Oklahoma that wanted him and came and got him!

For two or three years now we have had Monarch butterflies migrate thru our place in September, and spend a night or two in our trees.

Its hard to tell from the picture, but if you look close, you will see dozens of Monarchs.

We all know that our pets don't live forever. We wish they did. Here are some of the
dogs & cats we shared Botanical Acres with in the past.

Here is Ringo, our chow. He was about 13 years old when he died in February 2003. He was a smart, loyal and loving dog. He was Janis' perfect pet.

This is Snuffy aka Momma Cat. She died in 2001 after living with us 15+ years.

I don't have a digital picture of our big boxer Hobo, who died in March of 2001.
He was a perfect companion for Ringo.
