Update 3/11/03: Okay, these pictures are not working right now. I am working on this, but I wanted to let you know...

Okay, either I am out of space to upload things to AOL, or its just not working right now, but I wanted to put of pictures of my pets (the ones that live at my parents' house) So, I am trying to upload them to Yahoo! Hopefully that works... They are still uploading. La la la. Its only 4 pictures!! Its being S-L-O-W... And for once its not me, my computer's been working great tonight, and also, I have a cable modem. Alright, I'll give it 2 more minutes and then I will quit for the night. Then you are stuck with this really crappy, picture-less entry :P so there! OH! They worked!! okay... lets see about getting them on here.... They arent the BEST pictures of my babies, but you still get to see them!

This first picture is my dog, Bailey. She is a golden retriever / border collie mix. She's 3 or 4 years old, and a wonderful dog! Before we got Bailey, we had Mandy, a poodle mix, for 14 years before she passed away :( Mandy was a wonderful dog as well!! Bailey is a stray that my dad found along a back road one winter day. No one ever claimed her, so we kept her!

Next is Cody. He is my first cat, and he just turned 8 years old. Its hard to believe he is that old. I got him as my 16th birthday present. I really wanted a cat, and my dad never liked cats, but he finally gave in and let me get one. Now we have 3. Go figure LOL He is also our only "non-stray". I just found another picture of Cody, that my sister labels his "Porn-Star Kitty" pose... I will definitely show it to you soon, its a riot! But for now...here is Cody!

Third is Mokey. She is another stray, who took up residence in our neighbor's garage. We think she is slightly older than Cody. Mokey is your typical prissy cat, but she can also be super-cuddly. She's really furry and floppy. I cant tell if she looks shy or sorta pissed off in the picture... But she is an extremely pretty cat! Here is Mokey!

Last, but not least, is Shadow! We got Shadow when he was just an itty-bitty kitty. My dad and Bailey were taking a walk in the woods behind our house, when Bailey came across a baby kitten. She stood over the kitten until my dad came over, picked it up and put it in his pocket. He brought Shadow home, and we fed it imitation milk and kitten meal. The little kitty was barely 3 weeks old! My dad went back the next day to see if he could find more, he did, but it was too late :( At least he rescued Shadow. He is now Bailey's baby, and he followed Bailey everywhere. Bailey grooms him, and Shadow plays with Bailey's tail. They are too funny! Shadow is now 2 1/2. He's still very tiny, especially compared to Cody, who is all muscle at 18 pounds. He cant meow right, cause he got permanent laryngitis from being outside in the cold all the time, before we found him. He aqueaks, and its so cute! He tries to play with Cody, but their age difference shows... Shadow is like the hyper little kid who is bothering the old man. Sometimes Cody will take a swing at him, and then they start rolling around and chasing each other. But most of the fun is on Cody's terms. :o) I also found mroe pictures of Shadow.. They are a little better, but its so hard to get a good pictures of him, cause he's all black, except for the insides of his ears and a tuft on his chest... Anyways... Here is Shadow! (Aptly named, because he follows us, Bailey and Cody everywhere, and also cause he loves to leap at the wall and play with his Shadow).
