| Needless to say, I have hundreds of pictures of my own animal companions. Eventually I will
organize most of those pictures, or at least the good ones. For now, I will settle for a brief
introduction to my current housemates. |

Kira, our oldest resident; a once-feral cat who now shamelessly begs for handouts |

Hildy, our smart, funny and very opinionated rescue Congo African Grey parrot |

Finnegan, elder statesman of the IW clan |

Holly, the youngest of the Irish Wolfhounds and a sweetheart |

Gracie, our wild child, with her mischievous grin |
 Jamie the Opinionated and Nicky the Shy |

Pookie, the best bunny in the whole wide world! |

Violet, Snoopy and their mom, Miz Bea; the IW-lovers |
