Peaches and Wiggles
So, Peaches and Wiggles are the names of my two female dogs. They both came to our home in Nov. 13, 2014. They were both from the shelter “Roice-Hurst Humane Society” here in Grand Junction, Colorado. They were approximately 1 year old when we got them and they are both Lhasa Apso Mix. We thought they were sisters when we first saw them at the shelter because they were both place in the same kennel but the people at the shelter said that they were not, they just came at the same time from New Mexico and so they placed them together in one kennel since they get along very well. We didn’t plan to adopt 2 dogs at that time but when we saw them, we just felt that it is better for them to stay together and so we both took them home.
Galy
The other dog we adopted is also a female, her name is Galy and she is a pure bred German Shepherd. She came to our home last year. She came here in Grand Junction last year in January with my step daughter for breeding. They came here from Texas, while staying here at home Galy came birth to 5 litters of puppies. To make the story short my step daughter was able to find homes for all the puppies. My step daughter also had a Golden Retriever which she breed at the same time. Trust me, it was not a good experience having two dogs with litters. It was like a zoo at home. When all of the litters found a good home and my step daughter and her family were ready to go back to Texas. She decided, she didn’t want to take Galy back home ( Texas ) with her. She offered if we wanted to have Galy but we were hesitant because we already have Peaches and Wiggles. Me and my husband were trying to decide if we wanted to adopt Galy and maybe we could breed her in the future also. Galy is a very good dog and for a couple of months she stayed with us I came to love her. My boys loved her and Galy is pretty much good with the boys and Oh, she loves my husband big time! She would follow him wherever he goes even to the bathroom. So, we decided to keep her.
Kitty Baby
And what about our two cats? Well, here’s their story. We have Kitty Baby, she is female, and has gray coat and she used to be a feral cat. We saw her first time wandering around in the backyard when we moved in to our home back in 2011. My mom-in-law started giving her food outside in the backyard everyday and slowly getting her trust. Eventually my mom invited her in the house and she started coming in the house. She usually stays in our bedroom because she doesn’t get along with my other pets.
Mr. B
The other feline is Mr. B and he is a big black boy. I have seen him in the front yard for awhile especially when a pull over my car. One time I saw him on the side of our parking lot started meowing. I came up to him and he started laying down on his back wanting to be scratch so I scratch his belly. The next day I saw him again. Me and my husband were thinking if he was someone’s cat in the neighborhood. We put some food outside and see if he will eat it. He keeps coming back everyday so we thought, he is a homeless cat. It was last year during fall season and the weather is starting to get cold. So, we decided to put a shelter outside in the front driveway so he can stay their whenever he wants, we also put food and water close by it. He’s been staying there everyday since we put the shelter for him and so we concluded that he is a homeless cat. We suspected that he was owned by our neighbor who were older couple both passed away and have sold the house couple of months ago. Mr. B is a very sweet cat and he is a very domesticated cat, he loves to play too. When we open our front door for him, he just came inside like he owns it and didn’t even bother being mugged by the three dogs. Galy loves him, she would groom him like her own. Peaches and Wiggles at first we thought they will attack Mr. B because they would usually chase any cat they see in the backyard. To our surprise, they are fine with Mr. B I guess because this big boy is showing that he is not afraid of them. So, Mr. B officially became a member of the family from then on.
