A little info about us

I moved in with Mike my boyfriend into his grandfathers house one year and three months ago. Along with the house came years and years of stuff mostly stuff that was of no use to us and a very overgrown yard that had been neglected for a number of years lots of things needed to be replaced, redone, cleaned and/or  thrown out.We had a cat and two dogs and then a couple of days later a stray cat joined us just out of the blue. Fast forward a couple of months and we saw a poor little dog dodging traffic on a busy street I convinced Mike we could not let this happen poor little thing we went back to see if it was still there, it was and it did not run away when I tried to pick it up (so we took it home). Now here we were two cats three dogs that dog we picked up we put up flyers for her to see if anyone would claim her after all she was adorable, alas  no one claimed her (sad) the dog was pudgy suspiciously round we figured she was just a piggy thing as it turns out about 4 weeks after we had her she went into labor. Dawg gave us five adorable little puppies, so here was the count ... 5+3+2= 10 animals plus one bird something had to be done ... we have since found homes for the puppies we kept one our little Rosie pie and her mother Dawg the name just stuck. Around the same time that we were finding homes for our little ones and the bird a cat gave birth somewhere around here and had four kittens, they were adorable little balls of fluff but very wild, after a while they went away except for one who has adopted us (darnit) never could say no to a pretty face.This is our family Mike, me, Dawg, Baby, Lyka, Rosie pie, Keekers (Kiki), Garfield and B.K.       

 I love our home  it's so big and beautiful and lately it's been getting more and more manageable, soon the yard will be the pride and joy both Mike and me want it to be and (hopefully) i'll grow pounds and pounds of vegetables.We've inherited lots of furniture and problems and trash but I love it, this is our home.
