Some of the outstanding names thru the years....
Jim Jam--a Siamese cat
Morpheus--the stud goat
Clover--another Siamese cat
Pujo--the first dog we got after we got married...a cocker spaniel named after a urologist I worked with...but unfortunately, he bit Zac when Zac tried to join him for a snack at his bowl and ended up with 13 stitches in his face. Pujo had to go to doggie heaven...or hell that day.
Fur Piece...we thought a baby girl kitten and named after the country saying, "don't you live a fur piece down the road?" but ended up fur piece was a boy so his name got changed to furr balls....lol
Roosie the rooster who befriended our Weimarainers and ate out of the same bowl as Cooper and Cota.

11. Did you have a wedding? big, little, elope, courthouse, beach??? long dress, short dress, veil, train, honeymoon???
I got married on Dec. 11, 1982 at Va Ave Methodist Church in Bluefield, Va. About 175 people were there, and I wore a beautiful long white gown, with a floor length veil, and had 6 bridesmaids and 4 honoary bridesmaids, and 2 junior bridesmaids a flower girl and ring bearer. The bridesmaid dresses were the ugliest things I have ever seen and looking back, i am not sure what I was thinking. Otherwise, my wedding was gorgeous. We were supposed to leave the church in a horse and carriage but it snowed so much from the time we entered the church, that even the horse and sled couldn't get there. The caterer and most of the out of town guests had to stay with our friends and families because it snowed 12 inches in about 4 hours that night. WOW
