PETS TRIBUTE

During my Life I have been fortunate to have had the unconditional love of many good and faithful 4-legged friends and one, with 2 legs, a Blue Eyed Corella, an Australian native bird, he could talk the leg off an iron pot.  Way back when I was 4, a small black Pomeranian called Teddy became my first pet.  Edward is now my companion, many came in between, too many to show them all but each one left an imprint on my heart. This page is dedicated to all pets who have gone before, for the companionship and love they shared with me, here are but a few of the ones that passed my way and made me a better person.
