The Labrador Retriever is the most popular of dog breeds in the United States.  They are  a very intelligent breed.  They love to be in the water, play fetch and pretty much anything else that keeps them moving.  The Labrador Retriever is not an agressive breed.  They are very affectionate and do require lots of attention.  They need daily excercise to keep them happy and healthy.   

Labrador Retrievers are very easy to please.  Make them feel like part of the family and you’re in.  They do get separation anxiety when left alone for long periods of time.  When left alone, they do needs toys to keep them occupied or you may come home to a messy house.

English Bulldog

The English Bulldog is a descendant of the Mastiff breed.

The Bulldog is a very unique breed.  They can appear to be aggressive dogs due to  their stature but are very gentle and friendly.  They are very loyal to their loved ones but they also have a bit of stubornness to them.  Bulldogs are best raised as indoor dogs.  Just like any puppy, they are hyper little souls but they become much more calm as they grow older.  They enjoy walks but not lengthy ones.  They tire easily so they don’t prefer too much strenuous activity.  
The English bulldog is notorious for their snoring and heavy breathing.  It’s very important to not over excercise them in the hot weather.

It’s important to find responsible English Bulldog Breeders that have good knowledge of what they do.  With an irresponsible breeder, bad temperment and health may follow if they don’t have the best interests of the puppies in mind.

Kenni Rae’s Page

This is Kenni’s Cat Page….

Kenni was born in my closet just about 11 years ago… She is a domestic short haired tortoise shell cat. She was by far the most beautiful of all the other kittens of the litter. Her hair is short and soft like a chinchilla. She has vibrant green eyes that really stand out on sunny days.

She likes to come and go as she pleases….what cat doesn’t.

Always a peaceful little girl…but she still has her feisty moments.

Her favorite place to hang out is the basement if she’s not outside…
Kenni is a very sweet cat. It takes a while for her to warm up to new people, especially other cats but when she finally does, she’ll be your little sidekick. She’s still very playful at 11 yrs. She has little mini soccer balls that she loves to boot around. Keeping those out around the house keeps her pretty active. I go on walks around the neighborhood and she loves to come along…she follows right by my feet. She’s great about doing her business outside, that’s what she prefers. I love to nap with her because she will cuddle right up to you and sleep as long as you do. I’m so happy to have her as my little companion.
