                       Libby Lu Horn

Libby was born in Red Bluff and is six years old.    She picked us to be her owner.  When we went to view the puppies, she came right to us wagging her tail and wanting to be picked up.  Running, jumping  and playing outside are her favorite things to do.  She only likes her "Momma" and  "Daddy" but tries to hide from anyone else. Libby has a Chihuahua sister, Mya.

        Kody, Mama and Fritz

                  Johansen

We call Kody and Mama our "fire dogs" because lying in front of the fire is one of their favorite things. Kody, a Jack Russell/Terrier mix, has seniority in the household so even if Mama lays down first, he always lays in front of her, closer to the fire.  Fritz is the shy one in the family so we were lucky to  get him in the picture.

Kody was a stray in 2009.  An elderly woman had rescued him and then couldn't keep him.  Erin told me about him and here we are 8 years later.  He has the sweetest disposition and has become even more demonstrative as he has aged.  If you don't like dog kisses, don't get your face anywhere near Kody because he has never seen a person  he doesn't like.

 Mama and Fritz are just the opposite of Kody.  They don't like anyone that they see. (Fortunately they like us.)   Fritz was a tiny puppy when we found him huddled by our garage on a cold February day in 2011.  He growled at me but I won him over with home-made dog treats. By early afternoon, his Mama showed up.  (Do you believe that the little 10 pound Chihuahua/Terrier mix is 20 pound Fritz's mother?)  She didn't growl but rather barked and barked.  She definitely wanted to see her son.  I tricked her into going through the gate and then won her over with those home-made treats.

While all three like to be babied by us, when it comes to outsiders, Kody is the "lover" and Mama and Fritz are the "fighters".  No one even considers coming into our yard when Mama and Fritz are on duty.  We have found that these three stray dogs are a perfect fit for our family

 Harley  is a 10 year old Yorkshire terrier.  She loves going for walks, squeaking her toy snake while playing keep away, and riding in the car or truck.  Harley especially enjoys being the center of attention and being petted, but if someone is sad or not feeling well, she always cuddles up with them, offering her own special brand of love and healing.

        Ammo and Maia Peace

We are proud alumni  of the Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue and Sanctuary. Maia thinks she is a princess and I am the one with the big head, I am never in a hurry.  We adopted our parents about eight years ago. We walk regularly at the top of the Oroville Dam. We have lots of friends at the dam who look forward to stopping to give us a pat on the head or a big hug-we love that.  Some times you can see us at the local coffee shops.  Visiting the McKenzie Animal Clinic is something we love to do.  They take good care of us and we often stop there just to say hello.   We are retired now and just love taking  our folks in the RV.  Maia and I get to visit many places, meet new fur-friends and wonderful humans. Visiting new dog parks and boutiques where we are allowed to bring our folks is especially appreciated.  They even put out treats and water in bowls, if they are good.  Anyway we are proud to be Pets of the Month at the McKenzie Animal Clinic.  Hope to see you around town.
