  • Welcome back!

    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

Rhaegar, Rhaegar, and more Rhaeger!

Your camera captures the BEST expressions, too. Amazing photos!

I wish I could claim taking the photos, but mine don't look nearly as nice!! We had a pet photographer come out and take some, that's why they're so good, lol.

And Hector, the kennel actually is at a vet clinic. The kids frequently went to "school" with me over the summer break while I was working there. When we were busy, they got kenneled. The kennel is probably from Shor-line or something like that. Super expensive I think.

Thanks for pointing that out!!! Haha, if you didn't know, I hold the world record for whitest white girl ever. I blame my mom's side of the family (Irish). When I get sun, I burn super fast, then it peels, and underneath I'm just as white as ever, but with the addition of a million freckles....couple that with my intense hatred of weather above 70 degrees (so that's like until December here) and that I don't venture outdoors til after dark, and voila, you get what you see above!

Lol your funny but that must be the Irish in you yeah photo quality makes all the difference great shots again

She sounds like my old cat we have now, he is 15 this year and still going strong. He loves people and wants to be with us, usually sleeps in the pile of dogs on the bed with someone and always requires being part of everything. I did not think I would find another like him so decided no more but perhaps I might re-evaluate someday.

I love Juno, and I think I'll probably always keep a sphynx in my life, but (just like the mastiff breeds we love so much) they aren't for everyone! They're definitely one of the more "dog like" cat breeds. Very extroverted and affectionate, but also very demanding. Some people are put off by her "PET ME, FEED ME, LOVE ME NOW" attitude, but I like it. Juno actually loves car rides and going to visit people and dogs, and isn't phased whatsoever by going on vacation with us or visiting family for a period of time. She is very attached to us and hates to be alone though. When we walk the dogs through the neighborhood, we can see her following from window to window screaming at the top of her lungs (we can actually hear her inside the house from the street), whichever ones she can see us out of. We frequently call her Hurricane Juno. Imagine a puppy who gets into EVERYTHING, but who can also jump on every counter or anywhere where you might try to hide things. That would be a sphynx lol. The breed is also especially susceptible to developing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, although they're still working on isolating what genes are responsible for it in the sphynx. So reputable breeders get periodic cardiac ultrasounds on their cats. Just thought I'd add in a little about the breed, VERY needy, but I don't think there's a better breed out there to cope and thrive in large dog households. In fact, I'm pretty sure Juno is a dog in a cat suit. And don't worry, they're not completely bald! It's like little peach fuzz, lol.

Rhaegar was outgrowing his baby crate, so last night we finally got him his big boy crate.

The big dogs are all like "sweet!"

The baby dog is all like "not impressed."

Thanks! He is a couple weeks shy of 5 months in that picture. He's a little smaller than average for his age, but you can't tell by looking at those big ol paws, lol.

Nope, I could not resist that face, OMG.

Could he be any cuter...

And he sure knows how to work that face!! We normally allow the dogs on the bed anytime we aren't sleeping, but wouldn't let the baby jump on and off by himself, so we would lift him. After getting a bit big for his britches a while back and complaining a tad too much when we went to put him down off the bed, he lost his bed privileges.....even though that face breaks my heart!

Love ALL the pics! Rhaegar is my new favorite CC puppy, haha, I absolutely love his face and the expressions he makes, so mischievous and so cute, and his unusual coloring is very cool. Also I simply love your cat Juno, she sounds like a very interesting character. :)

I love his color too, but the "oh, a rottweiler" comments are getting a little old. And here's a new expression for you....his "I'm going to kill you in your sleep" expression, lol. I just gave him a bath. Not a happy puppy.
