Dillon now 16 weeks old, came to us as a bonus.
Like the saying goes "When you buy a dozen

up our 12 Alabama Chihuahua’s we got Dillon!
He is a pure bred Great Pyrenees from Tuscumbia,
Alabama. Ironically that is the birthplace of Helen
Keller, and like Helen Keller, Dillon is both blind
and deaf.

 Babbette:
Babbette is one of several diabetic cats who requires
twice daily injections of insulin. Her blood glucose
is monitored regularly as well. Often diabetic cats
develop related health problems including blindness.
On the brighter side we have discovered that our
raw meat diet often diminishes the amount of insulin
needed and in many cases insulin injections may
no longer be necessary.
