People (and pets) who are mentioned frequently on this site are featured here. Every few days/weeks,
another character will be added, until most of the prominent players in my life are covered.
CASSIE AKA: Stinky, Miniature Holstein, Hoover, Rat Terrorist
Likes: Food, chasing varmints, cuddling
Dislikes: Vacuum cleaners, thunderstorms, diets
Her story: Caramelhead found Cassie on the Web page for the
Humane Society of Lewisville
in the autumn of 2001. After some deliberation, we decided to see if
she should join our then-dogless household. After a long (but
worthwhile) drive to Denton, we decided to adopt her.
GRETCHEN AKA: Blondedog, Underfoot, Honey Bear
Likes: Water, cheese, her kennel
Dislikes: The outdoors, diesel engines, Spongebob Squarepants
Her story: A November 2002 trip to Petco landed Gretchen with us. We had gone
with the intention of buying a plecostomus, but wound up falling in
love with this German Shepherd/Collie/Golden Retriever cross at an
adoption event held by the Lake Whitney Humane Society.
KRISTIN AKA: Salsza, Goatgirl
Likes: Red shirts, coffee, Andalusian pygmy goats
Dislikes: Spilling shit on herself, yarfing, queefing, Boobs' singing
Her story: I toiled away as an undergraduate at the University of Manitoba's
Dept. of Geological Sciences with Kristin for three years. But now
she toils in the long shadow of Bill Gates & Co. while I roam
the highways of North Texas. And guys, don't harass me about how
to get hold of her because she's living with a pirate named Cap'n
Bobby Eyepatch.
MEAGAN AKA: Pretty Girl, Shitass
Likes: Peppermints, swimming, rolling in mud
Dislikes: Bison, having her feet done, being startled
Her story: Meagan is the horse I married into. Shortly after I started dating
Caramelhead, the folks who owned the stable where she kept her old
gelding offered to trade Meagan (then a yearling) for old Larry.
Meagan followed us to Texas some 10 months after moving and has
thrived. It's amazing what open pasture can do for a horse.
