Justin, Gabriel, Jake, Lyla, Bailey, Baby, & Mia's Page

This page is going to be for the "other" children. Ah yes, they are as children to us. I do not understand how some people can mistreat their pets. If they feel that way about them then why do they bother having them in the first place? This is a question that always comes to mind when I see idiots that treat their pets badly. We love them and they are as much a part of our family as anyone else. They return the love you give them tenfold. And without any strings attached. It is a good thing we live on base now......I can only imagine when we retire and buy a house. I am sure we will have a small zoo in a couple of years after purchase! :)

Justin

Ok here we go. Justin was the first of our "other" children. He is a Golden Retriever that Angela rescued. Angela actually had him before we met. However, somewhere along the line he has become my second skin. Guess it's a guy thing and that is why she doesn't understand it. Every day we have to go through our ritual when I come home. I go into the bedroom to change out of my uniform and he comes in and jumps on the bed ready for war. We wrestle around and he acts like he is this really vicious beast. Fangs showing and all. It's funny as anything. Well anyway, here are a few pictures of Justin:

Here is Justin hanging out at the pool checking out the babes. Life is sure rough when you are a dog isn't it? Hehe.

Here is Justin coming to the camera. He seems to think that any time you point a camera at him that means he needs to get closer so that you can get a better shot.

Here's a new one of Justin playing in the snow. It was around Christmas time I think here in Kansas City. He hasn't seen much snow. He's lived in places where they never get the white stuff. He likes it. He try's to eat it all. Hehe.

Gabriel

Gabriel is a Grey Persian who joined our family while I was overseas. Which kind of sucks since I missed all the kitten stuff. He was already 14 months old before I came back. He of course is in charge of the house. He will let you pick him up and pet him for about 3 seconds at a time. Anything longer than that is not appropriate. He also has the attitude of any cat of "breeding"...which means that you mere peasants may visit with His Highness when he sees fit. These pictures are when he was a kitten. Will get some more current ones up when we get them.

Here is Gabriel giving commands to his humans. He understands that we are not that smart, so he has to tell us what to do to please His Highness.

Here is Gabriel looking down his nose at his court. I guess someone must have made a noise or something that was inappropriate in front of His Highness. Sorry My Lord!

Sadly Gabriel died one night out of the blue. The vet said that he probably had a heart problem or something that caused it.  It was quite the bummer.  Rest in peace little fur ball.

Jake

Jake is the newest of our children. He is a cat. I found him outside one evening while I was sitting out having a smoke. He walked up to me, started rubbing on my leg, and scared the crap out of me. So I picked him up and he was purring like a madman. He is definitely a lover. He wakes us up every morning around 6:oo or 6:30. He climbs onto the bed and lays on your head, purrs and tries to give you a massage. Which is great until he brings the claws into the works. Finally got some pictures of The Jake Man. He is a clown. Check him out.

Here's Jake in bed. It's really his bed and he just lets us sleep in it as long as we pet him when he requires it.

This is his newest thing. For some reason he is amazed by the bathroom. He always has to come in and sit on the sink whenever I take a shower. I also have to turn the water on for him so he can get a drink. What a weirdo. We caught him sleeping in the sink one day and got this pic. What a brain dead child. But we love him to death.

We have several new additions to the pet crew that need to be added.  Here are a couple of quick pics until I get time to do it better:
