Zoe, a cairn terrier mix, is the hunter in the family. Poops, a silky terrier mix, is the lead lounge lizard, testing all beds in the house looking for the one that's "just right." Andie, a chow, is the runner up lounge lizard, until the deer wander on to the property, then look out! The feline family consists of Tommy, an abyssinian, who enjoys sunbathing in the window. Casper, who is the king of the cat tree. Nermal, who shares the window with Tommy. Joey and Lilly share the cat trees with Casper.

Amy has been with us for over 7 years. Her friends and family call the crew of furry, feathered, and scaley family members "animal kingdom." Katie, a shetland sheepdog is the poster child for seperation anxiety, spends her spare time licking....licking walls, screen, windows, desks...... Katie has earned her AKC CGC certificate and is a member of TDI (Therapy Dogs International) Katie and Amy go to hospitals and nursing homes to bring happiness to all in need. Deiter is Katies little Big brother, a rescued Rottie/Lab mix, he was recently diagnosed with Epilepsy. He loves to sleep in late and sunbathe. His interest include wrestling with his mom in the house, chewing on his hedgehog toy and playing rough with his sister Halo, he also loves to go to the beach with his dog friend Sasha. Halo is a hit by car survivor who lost a back leg, but her handicap does not slow her down one bit! (I think she runs faster and turns sharper now!) She likes to go out to the barn and explore. Her job is to keep the yard free on any squirrels, lizards, bugs and birds. She is always on patrol. The squirrels like to tease her in the trees, mocking her and throwing things at her. One day.... she thinks..... Opus is the newest addition to the Carnes family.. a Spaniel mix who was brought into the clinic after someone found him wandering the streets.. he loves to play with his brother and riding in the truck too! Kiwi, a sun conure who loves to bite Amy any chance he gets....and sleeping in his happy hut. Keanu, a yellow collared mini macaw, loves to play upside down, hide and seek and finding the hidden cookies in his toys. He also calls a cat and meows. The neighbors think a cat lives here.
Fishies, almost forgot about the tropical fishies.....
In Amy's spare time... you may find her on horseback, roping cattle, or just out on the trail, scuba diving, paddling in her canoe down the Weeki Wachee River, ice skating, taking pictures or even drawing cartoons. Most anything outside. |
