My Guy Gizmo was born June 6^th of 1994 and went to his rest June 7^th, 2008, at 98 years (human years).  He was named “My Guy Gizmo” – a companion for “My Gal Gidget”, little knowing that at 11 months -- six days before neutering -- they would become mates creating three  lovable little “Shih-Pekes.”

Beautiful tiny girl tabby cat; a gift from a friend in August 1988, when I was living in Honolulu. She was psychic, I am sure. .

She traveled along with us when we moved to Oregon in 1990, and then when I had had enough of rain, she rode down to San Diego with me in my VW Bus for the winter of 1997. 

I adopted Heidi, a beautiful German shepherd from Best Friends on June 3, 2001.  She never experienced water to walk in or grass to walk on.  She had been chained to a truck for years before Best Friends found her.
