Our Animals We have several pets including two dogs, a cat, and many fish. Opal Ok, here is a picture Opal when she was a puppy. She is about 9 weeks old here. Austrailian Shepard. Her favorite pasttimes included biting the hand that fed her and chewing on anything she can get her sharp little teeth on. Her favorite thing to chew were dirty socks. Taken September 17th, 1999. Opal is getting big. She still loves to chew and bit things... luckily my hand is swiftly moving down her list of "favorite things to munch on" Taken July 26th, 2002. Opal is hppy to see us and Lorien after 3 days away in the hospital. Taken Early August 2002. Opal and Marcy looking at Lorien Taken June 25th 2002. Miss Opal playing in the grass. Solo And this.... giant walking ball of hair is Solo. He is a Sussex Spanial (rare breed). The best way I can describe him is.... Cross a Basset Hound with a Springer Spanial and then throw in a "weiner-dog" body and you've got yourself a sussex spanial. His favorite pasttimes include gaurding toys so Opal cannot play with them. And dripping in a 5 foot radius around his water dish. He does have this incredibly "cute" grin he show us when we misses us and we have been gone for numerous hours. I need to get a picture of that... it's sooooo adorable. Is he the scariest (or funniest) lookin' thing you have ever seen??? Taken July 26th, 2002. Solo is hppy to see us and Lorien after 3 days away in the hospital. Kitty Our first pet as a couple... (and frankly my favorite) the cat. We simply call her "Kitty". Not very original, but it works.   © 2000-2002 Soren Saggio, All Rights Reserved
