Welcome to A Special Place


Our world is ever changing and fast paced. We are faced with a crumbling economy, the ever impeding threat of terrorism, and natural disasters. We're bombarded on a daily basis with noise, traffic, groceries, work, school, parties etc. We seldom sit and rest our minds anymore. Even more seldom than this, we rarely hear or see anything "good". I don't know about you, but I think it's time for some breathing space.

You have come to such a place. Take your shoes off, put your feet up, grab a cup of tea, coffee or water (for people like myself who should be banned from caffeine) and take a little break.

Hmmm....Not Sure Why - But I Did

Have you ever had a desire to do something and not sure why you did it or wanted it? I am in that place today. For several months I'd been looking for a pet. I'd all but given up on finding one. I'd gone through several adoption places, enough kennels and pounds that I could probably tell you what kind of dogs they had each week.

After a series of unexpected events, I have acquired a new member to my family.....unfortunately, not yet of the human sort. It's a temporary arrangement for me as I have to assess whether I am allergic to said family member. Her name is Arkadia (I don't know why that name was chosen by the previous owners, but I don't want the hassle of adjusting the name.). She is a Chihuahua who doesn't like her crate. As far as I know, she is almost 3 yrs old (Nov 10th is her birthday) and she's doesn't weigh more than 4lbs.....she may be a little heavier, but not much. She loves riding in the car and taking long walks on the beach.

We shall see how this goes........til next time

Just one thing to consider. Pygmy Goats are herd animals, so should not be kept as solitary animals. A pair (or more) of goats will make a good addition to the right family. A decent amount of space (yard/pasture) will be necessary, depending on the number of goats, so they are best suited for rural areas on farms or acreages.

You, on the other hand live in the city. So a small dog like Arkadia would be an equally wonderful addition to the family. She is a beautiful looking dog.

Has she been spayed? The reason I ask is because the red-eye reduction on your camera is awesome.

Long walks on the beach sound like fun, and this dog is certainly up to the challenge of jumping in there with you. The short, stubby arms may pose a hinderance during the bike riding portion of the event.

I hope you and your growing family much success!
