These two sweet characters are Captain Jack and Jillian, and theirs is a story that will rival Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Their first year encounter could fill a chapter alone, and they’ve been inseparable for several years!
This little girl is Pom Pon aka. Ponny, we picked her up on 6/19/2009 from a girl in Howell who just couldn’t keep her in the home any longer. Her original name was Sunny, but with her little Pom Pon on the top of her head, a name change was inevitable, even though we rarely […]
My sweet Mabelene has been with us for about five years now. She is her own little girl, and doesn’t take ANY business from any of the boys. Mabelene is the only resident who EXPECTS to be hand fed! She is a very spoiled little angel who often follows me around during general feeding until […]

This little angel is Strawberry. Every time we would throw out a bucket of fruit, you could only guess what her favorite fruit was!

There are a myriad of stories about her. She got her name when she hooked up with (or rather I should say, he hooked up […]
