About Us/Contact Us - All About Dogs and Cats

All About Dogs and Cats is an endeavor that started some time ago,
when I desired to express my gratitude for the love my husband
Paul and I have received from our "fur-kids".

Our first rescue pet was Belle, a Sheltie/Pom Mix who went to the
Rainbow Bridge July 3rd 2002. The sweetest gentlest gift from God
anyone could wish for, Belle suffered from a semi-crushed trachea,
her life was very sedentary and relaxed.

And then came Beau. Lost for months on the streets of Montreal, he
trusted no one and was afraid of every stranger. But time and
patience brought forth the true loving nature of this wonderful boy.
A rascal in many ways, his impish grin wins the heart of everyone
who sees him.

Brady joined our family next, when an elderly lady was forced to
give him up as she entered a nursing home. Here is a prince among
dogs - quiet and reserved (until he sees a squirrel in his backyard)
Brady is more independent then any of our other kids. He is quite
content to sit outside in the backyard where he can survey his
kingdom. Sadly, we lost Belle soon after Brady joined us, as she
succumbed to her physical aliments.

Next came Bubba. This sweet boy was tied to a chain outside and
left behind when his original owners moved. Affectionate and loving,
he showers us with kisses every day. The largest of our Poms, he is
our resident clown. At times he seems to galumph around the yard
and the house.

Bitsy joined our family shortly thereafter. Although already a senior,
here was energy on four legs. Small enough to hold in your hands
and the oldest of all our pets, at times she was more than even the
other three could handle. Always first at the dinner table, first in line
and first in giving affection and love. ( Her kennel name was "Me
Too) It broke our hearts when she passed over in her sleep - gone
but never forgotten.

Our lives have been enriched, our souls touched and our hearts
overwhelmed by what our "kids" have given us - unreserved love,
unquestioning trust and unending joy and laughter. We have been
made younger and more fulfilled by what they have given us, with
nothing asked for in return except the occasional belly-rub, a good
meal and security they are ours forever. Although our human
children have now left the nest, our home remains full - full of
laughter, joy and the love of our "fur-kids".

Please rescue a dog (or cat) today!!
