This is our dog Mason. He is a cross-breed between a siberian husky, and a bull mastif. He really is kinda dopey.

This is one of our cats, Mona. It's short for Mona Lisa. Mona was a rescue. She was given to us by an acquaintance, who could no longer keep her. Her destiny, if nobody could take her, would have been the SPCA. And unfortunately, she was, how can I say this, a little anti-social (she tried to peel all the flesh from my arm the first day we got her), she would not have survived long at a shelter. But with a little affection, and A LOT of patience, she came around, and is known to have affectionate moments, but mostly, she ignores  everyone around.

This is a picture of our other cat Zoe. This is by all definitions, my wife's cat. She was a Christmas present back in 2002. ( the picture was taken in January 2003). My sister found Zoe in an alleyway back in September of 2002. Zoe was abandonned, starved, and flea infested. She can be described as a VERY needy cat. She always needs to be receiving attention from anyone around. As long as someone is paying attention to her, she won't complain. She is also the first animal that I have ever known that will groom herself with a pet brush, while you simply hold it in place.
