My AWESOME Wife!

My wife and I have now been married for a little over two years now. She and I re-met a few years ago while working in the same school. We went to high school together and have known each other since then. We actually went out on a date in high school and she couldn't handle me because I actually spent a few hours talking with her dad about football. I knew him from my football games that he would officiate. She thought I was a big dumb jock. She might have been right... Anyways, I love her with all my heart and she is the greatest thing in my life. I can't imagine my life without her by my side each and every day.

Cat Scratch Fever

Our cats are sweet at times. We have two of them and they are really mellow and cool to have around. I would not have thought of myself as a "cat man" in the past but I really do love these two. They are named Teddy Bear (black and white) and Peanut ("buff" as my wife calls it). There is a third one in the picture and she is the sister of Peanut. She decided she felt the call of the wild and wanted to live off the land. She moved out into the wash behind our house. She was a cool kitty but was definitely meant for the great outdoors. Anyways, Peanut and Bear are entertaining and energetic enough for me for now. Maybe once the dogs are no longer around then we will consider getting another cat. For now, these two are enough for me. Dea would get another right now if I would let her.

The Critters

The dogs (all 4 are pugs) are all doing well. They are named Mogli, Rajha, Chunk, and Eli. Mogli and Rajha are the parents and Chunk (the tan one) and Eli are the offspring. I don't know what we were thinking when we allowed them to breed. Neither is particularly stable mentally. They are both sweet dogs, but not the brightest things in the world. Eli is our littlest one and is the most "special" one of all. He has recovered fully from his cleft palate surgery. He is still blind as a bat in one eye (the smaller one). But, we love them all and I am not sure what we would do without any of them.
