Yodeling Yardbird Schnoodle

Spencer the Yodeling Yardbird Schnoodle 

"Call me an outlaw. Call me a protector. Just don't ever call me late for dinner!" 

Spencer the Schnoodle, a cross between a Schnauzer and a Poodle, may look all fluffy and innocent and cute. Behind those honey colored eyes lurks the intelligent mind of a willful criminal. 

Most days Spencer happily guards his living room window barking at passersby and squirrels, but there are times when he feels a tiny bit rebellious. Several little incidents led him to attending a sleep-away obedience school. 

His worst offense could be considered a federal crime. He once ate three books of stamps. (What else was he going to do with them. It's not like a dog can write!)

Persnickety Protective Blotched Tabby

Pickles the Persnickety Protective Blotched Tabby 

"I do it my way, and that's the only way to do it."

Her family had planned to buy cucumbers when they visited the farm stand. Lucky for them they found an adorable kitten and instead of making pickles they adopted the tiny tabby and named her Pickles.

This classic or blotched tabby uses her stripes to camouflage herself under the piano bench, where she likes to keep lookout over her family. Pickles once ran on her hind legs, hissing and batting at Grandma to let her know who was in charge.

Despite her humble beginning on the farm, Pickles does enjoy the finer things in life and will only drink fresh water provided on command.

Attentive Adventurous Teddy Bear

Smokey the Attentive Adventurous Teddy Bear 

"Just because I'm little doesn't mean I can't enjoy a view from up high."

Smokey, the real life teddy bear, actually acts like a dog.  

He is a long-haired Syrian hamster which are known for their cute, snuggly, appearance and sometimes called teddy bears. 

The dog like behavior is unique to Smokey. He loves to sit like a dog and let his favorite girl pet him on the head. Like any good working dog Smokey relishes his responsibilities in taking care of his family.  

Being an entertainer is his favorite job, and Smokey is known throughout the family for his daredevil adventures. He once climbed on the outside of his wheel to the very top to experience the view. All was going well until he realized he couldn't get back down.

Masked Marauding Norwegian

Cat-Cat the Masked Marauding Norwegian 

"Don't let my silky, soft fur fool you. I'm a fine tuned hunting machine!"

Cat-Cat chose her own name. She just wouldn't answer to anything else when her family brought her home from the rescue center.  And why not be proud of her feline fabulousness. She's the only cat in a busy house full of adults, two kids, Indy the Australian Shepherd, and a Russian Hamster.

Although we'll never really know her background, Cat-Cat shares some of the features and fluffiness of a Norwegian Forest Cat.

She uses her calico camouflage to her total advantage as a super hunter who once tried to bring a live bird into the house. She's also part ninja, and once stunned a rat by bopping it on the head.

Warm Wiry Fox

Teddie the Warm Wiry Fox

"Sunbeams are not just for cats"

Teddie, the Wire Fox Terrier and Shar Pei mix worships the sun with a satisfied roll and stretch. Never mind the cat who was just laying there.

Actually Teddie is known as quite the gentleman. Despite his wiry, scruffy appearance he plays the perfect host when foster dogs come to stay.

This funny dog may wear stains on his snout (his nose can sometimes lead him into trouble), but he wears his heart on his sleeve and will happily show you his loyalty and love with a kiss on the nose.

Lucky Loving Domestic

Sage the Lucky Loving Domestic 

"I still 8 lives left, and I'm making the most of them!"

Sage, the Domestic Short-hair, is a very lucky black cat. She lives with a vet tech who understands how fortunate she is to be alive after a surgery and infection that left Sage with only one kidney.

Named after her impressive green eyes, Sage has adopted the care and compassion she received into her own mission. From her perch overlooking her St. Paul street, Sage keeps one eye out the window for pedestrians and squirrels and another eye on Reggie the pug playing in her living room. Reggie recently lost his hearing and Sage acts as his assistance cat leading him to the kitchen or the front door when he is needed for a greeting or an eating.

Reggie offers his toy, but Sage refuses to share her cat treat

Unstoppable Underdog Terrier

Gracie the Unstoppable Underdog Terrier

"I'm on my way. Now where was I going?"

Gracie, the Jack Russell Terrier, may look mild mannered, but she's got a powerfully brave heart.

This little dog doesn't let anything stop her. When she lost her eyesight a few years ago she learned to use her ears, her nose, and her friends to help her get around.

While Gracie may be on the older side, she still has her puppy moments. She just remembers to grab her sweater first. It could get chilly out there.
