I am not sure if it was fate or just luck that brought him into our family....&lt;br /&gt;I was on my way home to take my son to the Orthopedic for a follow up appointment when I passed the Dekalb Animal Shelter off Baseline Road in Genoa. For some odd reason after passing the shelter I Stopped and turned around on and went back to the shelter.&lt;br /&gt;Now mind you at this point we have 3 dogs already and 8 rabbits so we really did not need any more pets, right? But I stopped, walked in and signed the book and took a look at the cats even though at this time we are not going to get one so why I was looking I don't know thought just maybe they have a rabbit that needs a home, We can handle that. Nope no rabbits so I go to walk out then for another odd reason I decide that I just have to go look at the dogs even though ever time I think of a pet in need of a loving home it breaks my heart, but I go in there. Walked down one side of the kennels with all the dogs barking like crazy. They were all really big dogs or smaller ones that were not good with other dogs or children. Then I walk down the other side of the kennels and curled up in a little ball between these two big dogs is this itty bitty little 9 week old Beagle puppy. He had been there almost 2 weeks and was scared half to death. I went up to the front counter and asked about him and had them bring him up so we could play. They said that he was dropped of because the people who bought him from the breeder had a medical emergency and the breeder would not take him back. Well needless to say I asked them to hold onto him for the evening as I was now late getting my son to the doctors office. That night when I got home I talked to my husband to see how he felt about adding another dog to the family he said it was fine but then sweetly reminded me that no matter how hard I try I can't save them all.... I assured him that the pup would be the only one I brought home that next day.&lt;br /&gt;The next morning I called the animal shelter and assured them that I was going to come get him on my way home from work. By 1 pm Oct 11th BlackJack, then Toby, was on his way home to his forever home. &lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.yourpetsandmore.com/stories/2008/06/meet-blackjack.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Diane Mech)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567080563869041637.post-864909889126054800</guid><pubDate>Sun, 04 May 2008 14:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-05-04T07:12:28.464-07:00</atom:updated><title>SandStorm By The Sea</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.yourpetsandmore.com/stories/uploaded_images/DSCN3863-730029.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.yourpetsandmore.com/stories/uploaded_images/DSCN3863-729925.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Storm will be 8 on July 12th.

I have a lot of pets, but my favorite one is my rabbit Buttercup. I Have 3 rabbits but Buttercup was my first rabbit. She is almost 3 years old. Her breed is the Mini Rex. Buttercup loves fruit and her favorite fruit is apples. We call her Buggy because you can have a hard time picking her up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She loves to be out side and loves being held. Buttercup is a beautiful Opal rabbit with a nice shiny coat. I love to show her and she does really well. Buttercup is the old rabbit I have. If you give Buttercup anything plastic or wood she will chew it to pieces. Buttercup is evil some times, but I love her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Melissa</description><link>http://www.yourpetsandmore.com/stories/2008/04/meet-buttercup-rabbit.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Rob)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567080563869041637.post-9132029973682114338</guid><pubDate>Sat, 19 Apr 2008 14:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-04-19T08:30:38.154-07:00</atom:updated><title>Harry - The New Edition</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.yourpetsandmore.com/stories/uploaded_images/FerretLickLip-741211.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://www.yourpetsandmore.com/stories/uploaded_images/FerretLickLip-741199.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I received Harry when I came home from school one day and my mother tried to surprise me. He came along with my other Ferret Houdini. The reasons I named these two like this is because they are escape artists and can get out of there cage in many different ways. For instance Houdini broke a bar at the top of his cage and he got loose, the only way I was able to know that he was out was when my little sister started yelling "Davids ferret is out!!!". I ended up placing something on top to keep them in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harry is a little more calm then Houdini is for reasons unknown. He also enjoys the beef treats they came with. He is a pain in the butt though because at night they are always trying to get out rattling the cage and making noise. All in all they are fun to have around, even though they stink and are very annoying there great pets to have around.  The great thing about them is that they are potty trained...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- David</description><link>http://www.yourpetsandmore.com/stories/2008/04/harry-new-edition.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Rob)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567080563869041637.post-6235279690473267357</guid><pubDate>Tue, 08 Apr 2008 21:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-04-08T14:33:44.823-07:00</atom:updated><title>Squeak the mouse</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.yourpetsandmore.com/catalog/images/DG0015_SqueakerMouse_Pastel.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.yourpetsandmore.com/catalog/images/DG0015_SqueakerMouse_Pastel.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This pastel mouse dog toy is just wonderful. We purchased these since they are quite adorable little mice. Little did we know that the real fun is in the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;sound box&lt;/span&gt; inside each one of these. When you give it a squeeze this little guy makes a mouse sound that just drives our beagle nuts. When they arrived we opened one in the other room and squeezed it. Our beagle just went nuts! Barking came from the kitchen every time we squeezed this dog toy. Blackjack just loved this toy and was happy to have one for himself. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.yourpetsandmore.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_26&amp;amp;products_id=46"&gt;Squeak The Mouse&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.yourpetsandmore.com/stories/2008/04/squeak-mouse.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Rob)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567080563869041637.post-4320425119152585234</guid><pubDate>Thu, 13 Mar 2008 13:58:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-04-08T14:21:45.075-07:00</atom:updated><title>Welcome</title><description>Welcome to Your Pets And More &lt;em&gt;Stories!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These pages are stories from us and our customers.
