These six very loving, rescued children,

live in southern Maine with Liz who says "Our human son is all grown up, so our furry kids now fill our daily lives. All of our dogs do agility and a few attend regular competitions. We feel our lives are improved by having so many loving pets around us. Yes, it takes great responsibility, but we never have a humorless day with so many varied doggy antics taking place."

Bridget MacDagtha

passed away last October two days after she turned nine.  She is the one looking up with snowflakes coming down.  As all dog owners would say, they are the most wonderful dogs in the whole wide world.

Aeonghus MacDagtha, Brother of Bridget is a remarkable 11 years and 8 months and lives with Carol who says "I have had to lift him up for the last year and a half to help him to walk."

"Ana Bridie Rosa, Bridget’s little sweetie pie, a 8 month old girl puppy who was “sent” to me a week and a day after Bridget died.  She is named Bridie is another name for Bridget in Celtic tradition."

"The names come from Celtic mythology. The Macdagthas were the mythical gods of everything good.  Bridget was a triple goddess in Celtic mythology, later taken as a name in the Christian tradition. Bridget is the goddess of the hearth and warmth and many other things. This Bernese Mountain dog seems to love to sit, lean, cuddle, and generally be sure to be loving all the time they are not playing in the snow. Bridie has gone to work with me every day. I work as a psychologist and she has an uncanny way of being ever so thoughtful to people when they come to meet with me."

She lives in Topeka, Kansas with Carol who says "Improved Jupiter is named after an old mandolin we have displayed in our home. The mandolin label clearly states it is an 'Improved Jupiter' model. The cat is an improved model also. Thus, the name.   Mostly, we call her 'Kittie,' however." 

This is Poogy

an angora goat who lived with Singing Wind who says "I bottle raised her. She has passed on but is never forgotten."

Gus,
a Beagle/Pomeranian mix, lives in Burlington, Vermont with Valerie and George who say "Gus enjoys tagging along for bicycle rides (he even has his own cart  for when he tires of the run ),kayaking, boating  and hunting when the season allows. Gus takes very good care of his family of people and animals which  include cats, chickens as well as ducks. He has many friends in the neighborhood which he likes to visit for play dates as often as possible."

"He is the most attentive and sweet little dog and I thought he deserved to be showcased with other well deserving pets on your web site. I just know others will love to see his darling face. One cannot look at him without wanting to pet and give him a smile. I enjoy the emails I receive, the web site as well as the art work
and stories of Tasha Tudor. Thank you for sharing with the public and for allowing the public to share with you. Looking forward to the museum as we enjoyed the exhibit at Shelburne  Museum very much."
