ALL my babies: Ally, Izzy, Joe & Teddy

Ally!
Ally was rescued by Animal Control this summer from a home with over 50 cats in downtown Indy. She was only a few months old and extremely neglected. She was taken to a high kill shelter, but because of her sweet, cuddly disposition a volunteer at the shelter contacted a cat rescue group. She was rescued and put up for adoption at Pet Smart. On an August afternoon, I stopped in at that very Pet Smart to pick up dog food. I really had no intention of getting a kitty that day, but I am a sucker for those adorable little faces and pleading eyes behind those cage bars. I turned down the aisle towards the “cattery” and locked eyes with a pair of golden yellow eyes. She was tiny! Her little paw reached out for me and that was it.








Izzy!
I found Izzy over 4 years ago when the local humane society was featuring adoptable dogs outside my neighborhood grocery store. She was only 3 months old then and looking for a warm lap to sleep in. She had been turned over to the shelter because of her “feisty” personality. I soon found out Izzy thinks she is Queen Isabella, quite the little diva. She refuses to eat dog food, but will consider it as long as there is parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. She absolutely will not touch wet grass, insists on sitting in the front seat of the car and demands her daily walks, to keep her figure of course!




Joe!
We found Joe at Anderson Animal Care and Control. As you can see from his before picture, he was very emaciated. He had a terrible case of kennel cough as well as fleas; he was absolutely pathetic and on his way to being euthanized that weekend. Luckily, we showed up on Friday, just before closing time. With a little love and lots of care, Joe has become a loving, sweet lapdog. He loves to go through the Starbucks drive thru. He has many friends there who spoil him with “puppy lattes” (a sample cup filled with whip cream)!
Before!




Teddy!
Tom and I found Teddy in the good hands of the people at the Humane Society of Hamilton County. He was brought there by Animal Control along with his sister this November. They were found wandering the streets together completely emaciated, freezing and terrified. His sister was adopted right away, but Ted needed time to gain confidence. He is my shadow now, never leaving my side and a total cuddle bug. His ears are scarred from fly bites (we are telling ourselves that’s all they are!) and starts shaking when the vacuum comes out of the closet, but he loves Ally, our cat, and cuddles with her. Ted is a huge Colts fan and loved getting to curl up on the couch with us, as we watched the season unfold!

Lizzie

When one of our dogs got poisoned by someone I had to have another one. I gave it a lot of thought and realized that I wanted a little dog. I needed something I could cuddle with. After I searched for a few weeks, I found out that my father had Yorkie puppies. I called him and he gave me one for Christmas!



Ever since I have gotten Lizzie she goes everywhere with me and is always on my lap! She is a very sweet dog and we all love her so much!

Meet Braxtyn

He is, hands down, the most gentlemanly fellow I’ve ever met in my whole life.

While he may not open doors for me, he never fails to greet me with a smile, kiss and excited whimper. He has the elusive “heart of gold(en)” most will never find.

He has a cow toy he doesn’t like to go outside without. He likes to help feed the birds and runs in big circles of excitement when others are in his yard. But most of all, he’s a gentle, handsome, sweet, loving soul who makes the coldest days warm.

We are Roxy & Henry

We should win because we are unique looking and we both are technically muts, however people are always asking our parents where they can get a dog like us. We are snuggly, fun, love to play and always are there to cheer up our parents when they need us. We are super smart and are both graduates of The University of Petsmart....oh and we will eat anything. To date we are responsible for the destruction of a debit card, wallet and the cash inside it, a remote control, beer can and an entire large Papa Johns pizza!!!!! Pick us!!!!!!!

Our Rocket

Of course being photographers we could not pick just one picture....

Rocket is our lovable four and half pound Chin-Wa (Japanese Chin and Chihuahua). Rocket got his name for "rocketing" across the back yard because he is so fast and small. Rocket loves to cuddle and give kisses, he howls and makes the cutest little "O" with his mouth whenever we come home from work to tell us he has missed us. He loves to wear his Ugg jacket outside in the winter and his adorable t-shirts or polos in the summer. He is definitely a ladies man! We get told time and time again his the cutest dog people have ever seen, and of course we agree. We love our Rocket so much!

Our Kids- Lucy & Lacy

Lucy, or Goose, joined the family when Whitney and I met five years ago. She was a package deal :) Lucy is the laid back relaxed dog that loves time outside and sleeping in her big bed. Lacy, or Boo Boo, joined the family April 15, 2008. I couldn’t resist her when I went to go see her. Lacy is the baby. She requires lots of attention, sleeping in our bed, and cuddling every time we walk in the door. We treat our dogs like our children. They have everything from coordinating clothes to matching pink collars and treats all the time! We love them so much <3


---Randi

Btw. Lucy is the beagle. Lacy is the puggle.
