Our Welcoming Staff:When you come to visit our home,
you will be greeted at the door by our courteous (and quite
vocal) Welcoming Staff, Rudolph and Mildred.




When they first joined us, Rudy and Millie, like many younger
dogs, were puppies.

Rudy is a Bichon-ShihTzu mix, while Millie is a Pembroke Welsh
Corgi. As you can readily see from the second rear view
above, Rudy is a high-maintenance dog, while Millie is very
low-maintenance.

When Millie and Rudy are not greeting visitors and protecting the
premises, they like to relax.

They love to join Edgar in his hammock on the screened porch.




Millie, being a herding dog, is addicted to playing fetch.
If you sit down, she will immediately bring you something to
throw. Her Aunt Joanne got her started on socks tied in knots,
but almost anything will do if she can't find one of them.
Rudy will occasionally join in, but he's not really into it.

May-Lewes Ferry.
Brownie, a
Chihuahua found as a stray, has joined our staff. She was
originally intended as a companion for Edgar's Mom, who has
wanted a dog for some time. Her recent hospital stay postponed
the date that she would be able manage a new family member. But
Brownie's overwhelmingly affectionate behavior, and her rapid
settling into our household, have made it impossible for us to
give her up. So we will be looking for another small dog for
Edgar's Mom in a few months. We now have a staff of three.



South Jersey has many lakes and small streams suitable for
paddling, so we get out whenever we can.


Although it looks like soap bubbles, it is actually snow on
Rudy's legs.


Sometimes it snows rather heavily, much to the joy of Millie and
Rudy, although we probably shouldn't expect the same enthusiasm
from Brownie.
