Kristin's Pets

Ralph is the veteran of the family. We got him as a baby about 13 years ago. He has survived coyotes, cars, cat fights, mangled feet, abcesses, skin cancer, angry neighbors, and who knows what else. But now he's old, so he mainly just sleeps the day away on the couch or our front porch. The history behind his name: we got him from kids giving away kittens in front of Ralph's grocery store.

Pepper is the vixen. She is about 9 years old, and we got her as a stray. She's in love with Ralph and will catch him in a stranglehold when he comes in from outside. But Ralph couldn't care less about her. Pepper considers herself the princess of the house, and she won't lift a paw unless she wants to. She's mainly an indoor cat, but she's allowed to go out in the front yard a little during the day and sunbathe. She sleeps with my parents at night because my Mom's her favorite.

Chance is the newest member of the zoo. He was an abused dog who was rescued from "the hood." But his most recent present was a two-foot long beef bone, so it's safe to say he's being abused no more. His other toys include: a rubber chicken, a stuffed hedgehog toy, and any tennis ball he can get his mouth around. His manners are still lacking - our second couch is now his bed, he still barks at "suspicious"-looking people (including numerous relatives), but he jumps all over his friends. But can you resist this face? Neither can we.
