Hi, my name is Callie and I was born on March 7, 1995. I am a rabbit hound and lab?? mix.

I was turned into the animal shelter at the age of three months. My owners didn't want me anymore.

Luckily, one of the staffers here thought I would be perfect for my Mum, and guess what - I was.

Mum was so happy to get me that she named me after the girl at the shelter.

Mum's dog, Shadow, had just passed away. She really hadn't thought about getting another dog, but when she came to the shelter she just couldn't resist me.

What would I do without you
my precious, furry friend?
Part mischief, but all blessing,
and faithful to the end.
You look at me with eyes of love,
and never hold a grudge.
You think I'm far too wonderful
to criticize or judge.
It seems your greatest joy in life
is being close to me.
I think God knew how comforting
your warm, soft fur would be.
I know you think your human,
but I'm glad it isn't true.
The world would be a nicer place
if folks we're more like you!

A few short years is all we have
one day we'll have to part.
But you my pet, will always have
a place within my heart.

This isn't a very clear picture, but here I am at the shelter. This is my "Gram". She thought I was perfect for my "Mum" to take home. I loved her at first sight...Gram that is...no just kidding. I love everybody.

This is my first day at Mum's house. There she is holding me. I was right at home and fit it perfectly. They soon knew who was Boss of the house. Well, I try...but there are so many cats here, it's hard to keep them in line.

Especially that Sammy. There is my first day here, and look at that cat. He's just daring me and I'm trying to be soooooo friendly.

This is my first Christmas at my new home. We went to see Santa and I got everything I wanted for Christmas. Food, Food, and more Food.


That Sammy just won't quit will he. He just pushes and pushes until he finally pushes me out of the way. I was so sorry that he had to leave us when he was so young, but I had a good time with him while he was here.

I can't decide which end of the bone to start on.

Ahhhhh! The thing I love most in the world - getting my belly scratched. Mum had to clip part of the photo so I was decent. Can't have an X-rated site, can we?

This is Crescent Beach. Mum takes us there for long runs in the spring and fall when there are no "sun worshipers" there and we can run, run, run to our heart's content. This beach is gorgeous, but I just don't like going in the water. I get close but I'm too chicken to go in.


Here are some pictures of me playing tug of way with Teddie to get the rubber toy. We sure had a lot of fun with that thing. Eventually it was all torn up and disgusting looking - so Mum threw it out. That was the best toy we had.

I have to get my "lovin'" wherever I can!!

This Bone is bigger than I am!! but I'll find some way to eat it.

Teddie and I Christmas 1998 with Santa!!
