| Ok Ann. Here is how the story goes.... Now remember I have 4 horses, 3 dogs, 2 cats, goats. If anyone had an animal they didn't want I took it home with me. At one time I had 5 horses, 4 dogs, 2 cats, goats, 2 hamsters, a talking bird and 1 iguna. Had one dog, one cat , 2 hamsters , the bird, and the iguna all in the house. Every time the bird seen one of the animals he would holler" here kitty" regardless of what it was. The bird died of old age, dog died from being runned over, 1 cat ran away ( after it ate the hamsters) and I sorta killed the iguna. My Husband told me after that NO MORE ANIMALS. Yeah right, I thought. A friend of mine said he had some cats to give me. Being an animal lover I took them. Put them into my tack room for I knew Lamar wouldn't be going in there. I ended up giving one of the cats to my cousin, that left me with 3. The other 2 females found a hole and got out. Went catting I guess for I haven't seen them since. The tomcat was left in the tack room. One night heard some cats fighting. Lamar went out to see what was going on. I just keep right on crocheting for I knew I would be busted. He came back in and said a tomcat was messing with his cat CeeCee. I never opened my mouth. The next day Lamar, David, Emily and I was clipping goats. David looked up and said, " Mom's cat is in the tree. " Lamar looked at me and wanted to know what cat was that. I never slacked up from clipping. David then informed Lamar that I had several cats in the tack room. Boy, did Lamar move fast to the tack room, came back and said there was no cats there. David said of course not , she gave one away, the females ran away and her dumb tomcat is stuck in the tree. So that's where the name Ellie Mae came from. He says I treat the animals better than him but there is no truth in that. He gets the same treatment. |

| Oh when I was expecting my daughter Emily , who is 13 going on 30, my first husband and I had a dairy farm. One day we was feeding and came upon a baby racoon that didn't have it's eyes open. The mother had been killed. So I took the baby home and raised it. We keep the coon for nearly 5 years. Everytime the coon heard the water running in the bathroom he would run and jump in. So we had to make sure the door was closed at all times. |

Oh Laura... He gets the same treatment? You crack me up. I've been told NO MORE CATS, but it had to be taken out of my hands. Our previous dog decided for me that we weren't having any more cats... or anything else as long as she controlled the perimeter. I think Ellie May is a perfect name for you!

Hi Laura, been away for a couple of weeks so just getting around to saying Howdy!! I can see you alredy fit right in. I rode barrel horses when I was growing up in Colorado but have lived on the east coast for some time now so haven't had the pleasure of the three in a long time. I do miss it alot. We just bought our own farm (will hoprfully close soon) so may get back into it. Have been managing a beef farm for someone else for quite a few years now and those guys have taken up all my time. Glad you found us!
