The DU Lounge

I had gotten him at one yr old from the ASPCA when I lived in Calif. He was named Rocket, and I kept that. It totally fit him. I had 2 other doxies out there, named Cedric and Franklin.

I named my Borzoi, Jazzmin, as a puppy. We called her Jazzy. I adopted 2 Salukis from a breeder who fell on hard times. They had the breeding kennel's name, and then Monopoly and Audacity. They were called Parker, and Audrey. I've also had Greyhounds off the track. All of my Sighthounds have been so smart, and so beautiful.

Our current pack is the old man Pyr, Duke, Frankie, the Scottish Collie, and Grace, another Pyr. The first 2 already had their names when we adopted them. Gracie's name at the Humane Society was Lacey. They all answer to the name, "Cheese."

We have 20+, "barn cats," that have shown up over the years, and mostly hang out on our front porch. Two of the girls were pregnant when they wandered here, Mocha and Millie. Mocha's kids all have coffee names, our dear departed Millie's kids have tree names. Our one house cat is Simone.

So, so many furry kid lives and loves. My screen name came from my wonderful gelding that I had for 25 years.
