The Pretty Pretty Princess Gracie! (1994-2008)

Don't you just love the scarf? (1994-2008)

Gracie and Annabelle (both now dearly departed)

Miss Annabelle looked good on chenille!

I miss my girl...this is my favorite picture of her.

This was Olivia the Newt.  I bought her and Isaac in September 1988 (yes, 1988), and she passed away in April 2004.  Who knew that newts would live so long?

This is Isaac the Newt.  He is still with us, and turned 20 in September 2008.  Geez, I thought I was just going to have these guys for a few months!  Twenty years later, I still have one of them.  Amazing!
