My favorite prayer:  God, help me to be the kind of person that my dog thinks I already am!

Well, we love our little ones!  We have four animals living with us, and enriching our lives with their companionship and anctics:  two cocker spaniels (Lexus & Billi J), a cat (Tippi), and a bearded dragon (Scooter).  Pictures are below (mouseover for captions), and also on their individual pages.  If you just can't get enough of these darlings, there are more pictures scattered throughout Marita's website.
