Squirt passed away on 12/23/03.  He is gone to Heaven but forever in out hearts.  We now have two dogs.  Pudgy is around 7 years old and is Yorkshire Terrier and Malteese.  He is a very friendly easy going dog.  Our other fur baby is a 4 month old Rat Terrier named Spunky.  He is very well named.  He loves to play with the grandkids, the cat, and anyone who will play with him.</div> <bR> <div> We also have an 20 month old kitten.  His name is Spike.  He is very playful and very rambunctious.  He thinks playtime is anytime that he feels like it, whether we feel like it or not.  He thinks that computer time or crafting time is the perfect time to jump up in Mom's lap.</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
