We have quite the herd here. The oldest is Sammy she is a Coyote Shepherd mix. I have had her since she was a pup and she is now 18.

Sammy my bestest freind

Next is Haley she is the matriarch of the kitties. When we got our first house I promised my wife a cat and this is her. She is also the smallest but no one messes with Haley. She is 13.

Haley the softest fur in the house

Then there is Izzy she is a Retriever Australian  Shepherd mix. She is my 80lb chicken. A rescue that was mistreated and is now very loved.

Izzy our pretty girl

My buddy Dot, found as a feral and then rehabbed and given a good home. She is our most sociable kitty wanting to meet everyone who comes in the house. 

Dot is a poser

Lastly there is Patches, she is our youngest and is quite the talker. She is also my buddy when I am on the computer. She likes to lay in between the keyboard and the screen. her and Dot are best friends. 

Patches is our talker

They are so beautiful! Oh my, I wish I could pet them and tell them how wonderful they are!

Thanks so much for telling us who is who and what they are like. Dear Sammy-- what a sweetheart! You can look in her eyes and see the wisdom there!

And the kitties-- oh my, so very special. Patches' eyes are so beautiful-- very striking! Our kitties are rescues, too. Life would just not be as good without them!

Thanks, so much, Hiram, for sharing them with us!

You can tell by Dot and Patches's faces that they are social butterflies! You have quite a menagerie of lovely furr spirits there (great pictures!) and it sounds like you have a couple seniors too. My two female cats are 13 also and then there is Spot...the baby. She'll be 2 this year. Thanks for sharing your family with us Hiram! Love furr baby pics!

    Wow, what a herd! I can imagine your food bill!!!

    I think my favorite is Patches. Those eyes - they drill in to you.

    Great photos of your guys, I enjoyed visiting with them.

    The food bill is not that bad. Patches is very good at using those big eyes to get what she wants. If that does not work she purrs like a truck engine. I am glad you enjoyed them.

    Hiram, thanks for introducing us to your family. Your family appears to be very happy together.

    With those eyes, I think Patches and I would end up in a staring contest. It looks like Patches almost challenges you to stare. lol
