But the really funny thing about Gizmo the whacky Persian cat is that she gets shaved every few months! But not completely, nope! She gets what they call a "lion cut" (more like a Cowardly Lion cut!). And then she doesn't look like a cat (or a lion!) so much as some sort of alien cow cross-breed! You'll see!
Randy was a great friend. He protected and loved Annie before she met Anson and afterwards he and I were a team. He went where I went (and I mean it... I couldn't pee in peace!). Then in May of 2002, a whole new wrinkle was added to the pack! [more!]

So there we were, Annie and Anson and Randy the Miniature Schnauzer... and
me! After the tornado hit, we moved to a new city and bought a house. I guess it seemed
like the thing to do at the time -- what do I know? I'm a dog! And then we got a pool put
in the back yard! I do NOT like pools! Annie and Anson
keep trying to get me to go in, but uh-uh, no way, no how am I going near that
giant bathtub!
Anyway, then we got a new addition to
the pack, Gizmo the whacky 
But then something very sad happened. Randy got really sick Thanksgiving of
2001. He was 13 years old and he had a lot of things wrong with him. He didn't want Annie
and Anson to know how bad he felt, so he didn't show it. He was always real excited to see
them when they got up in the morning or when they got home every afternoon. He always
would chase the cat when they'd tell him, "Get the cat!" And he'd always wolf
down his food at dinner time! But that Thanksgiving he got real sick and they took him to
the vet (we always liked going to vet, believe it or not!). The doctors there couldn't
help Randy and so he didn't come home. We were all very sad and miss Randy a lot (even
Gizmo).
