Bear, or just Bear. Originally named by Lucille after Murphy Brown.
(remember her?)
Murphy is an Australian Shepard - Lab mix. She is the old dog. We refer to
her as the "ranch Manager" or the "Fun Police". She is now retired and
enjoys special privileges at the ranch and in the truck cab. |

This is Nicky also known as
Nickers, Niko, Lickie and Nickolass. He was a Border-Collie mix.
Nicky was very
goofy and loved to give kisses.. Our friends found him at Shasta and figured we'd give him a
home. He was a good dog, but a bit crazzzy. He died in April
2004 and is missed here buy all of us. |

|
This is Moukie, also known as Moukass Wakkas
Rakkas and Mr. Wakkas.. He claims to be an Akbash / Napolian mix of some sort.
Traditionally, he would be a sheep protecting dog in Turkey. Elisabeth found him
by the bridge in San Miguel, mangy and sprayed by skunk. Very sweet
boy. Moukie is a great hugger. |
|
|
This is Kelly. Also known
as Kellers. She was Moukie's best friend. We found her one night
early in 2002; she was lost and scared. We tried to find a home for her, but
instead we fell in love and couldn't let her go. She was a bouncy,
Queensland Heeler mix who loved to round-up anything she could.
Unfortunately she passed away early April 2003. We miss her very much. |

|
This is Tempeh. Also known
as Tempico, Pico, Katkat or the boy. He is a Maine-Coon mix that
Elisabeth found in Atascadero in 1996. He is the sweetest cat.
He has two attentive girlfriends, Brittany and Sassy, who loved to groom
him. |

here and very feral when we got the place. She tamed pretty quick and
moved into the house. |

Hi, I'm Iris. I'm an American Alpine
milking doe. My milk is Yummy and it makes great cheese. I
gave birth to beautiful Cammy and Elliot that you can see below. They were
born on the anniversary of the day Dean and Elisabeth met. |
|
|
Hi, I'm
Elliot. I was born first, and I'm very friendly. |
|
|
I'm Cammy. I think I was born a minute later, and
maybe that's why I'm a bit shy. I'm an escape artist and I like
to graze the neighbors pasture. (it is greener!) |
|
|
Hi, I'm Eddie. I was young when they got me at the
auction. I'm pretty mellow and mind my own business. |
|
|
I'm Bruce. I also came from the auction.
I'm big and strong and everybody better watch it. By the way, I'm
Cammy and Elliot's dad and I'm proud of it. |
