The following dogs, cat & bird have been members of the family in the past. Some are still with us while others are with other family members or friends. Scroll down and check out all the family pets here in Texas. REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE....

This is Scarlett. She is a Shih Tzu and has been with us since 2005. Her birthday is Dec 2, 2004.

This is Tigger enjoying the fire. She has been with us since 2001. She was born sometime in 2000.

This is Flash. He was born in December 2004 and lives with Janice's parents.

Another of Flash. When he was a pup. he was full of energy too. Now that he is a little older, he has calmed down some.

This is Rocco. I gave him to my nephew rob up in Kansas City. He belonged to the family down the street whose son was killed in a car accident. As Rocco was his dog, they had to get rid of him because of the memories..

This is Amanda's cat & our Grand kitty, Mittens. He has the bushiest tail I have ever seen on a cat

Mittens & Amanda

This is Zoey, a parrot of some type..Some folks skipped out at the apartments where we lived and left him in the apartment. The management had him in a back room that was dark. I asked for him and they gave him to me. Tigger thought Zoey was a meal in a cage, and would not stop trying to get in the cage, so I gave Zoey to my then partner at the police department, Paul

That will conclude this post. These are most of the Texas animals except that Amanda now has six cats. She picked up a grey cat and named her Audrey. Audrey & Mittens got together & had a litter. Amanda kept 4 of the 7 kittens.
