I'm a Manatee county native, and I have seen many changes to this area. I'm a wife, and mother of five children and six grandchildren. I was raised on a farm where I interacted with all sorts of animals on a daily basis, by the time I was 16, I was working full time on the farm. My past 30 + years include working for some local Veterinarians, and Cat and Dog boarding and Horse boarding facilities as well as dairy farms, and I have owned cows, Chickens, Hogs, Geese, Ducks, Turkeys, Horses and of course Dogs and Cats, Birds and Fish. So you can say that I have handled just about every type of domesticated animal there is, with the exception of snakes, iguana's and spiders, I have a fear of these animals, and when I encounter one my natural instinct to flee kicks in. So I'm a country girl as long as the country isn't to rough. I would like to share with you some photos of my pets, This is one of my horses, Chief aka Rocks Poco He loves to smile when it's feeding time. He gives kisses too. He spends most of his day grazing grass in the field, and playing in the pond. But regardless of what he may think he is far from being spoiled. This is Savannah, Her and Chief have been partners for about 10 years now. I have raised Savannah sense She was 9 months old, She has the sweetest eyes you have ever seen. |

| This is Abby we rescued her in 2007 and She is the sweetest lap dog you could ever meet! |
| This is Sugar bear (12 yrs)(buff) and Little man (14 yrs)(black) I have had them both sense they were about a year old, and despite their size, In their mind they think that they are actually a better watch dog than most pit bulls. They keep our home safe from the Raccoon that comes calling at 1:00 am to take a look in our trash cans. They are Fearless,Proud and Strong!! |
