Meet Our Pets!
(past and present!)
Meet HOLLY!  She's a
7-year-old Great Dane, who's lived
with us since she was just a puppy.  
Holly enjoys sleeping on the couch,
sleeping on any bed, crunchy dog
cookies, the occasional peanut butter
jar, trips to Florida in February, and
lots of hugs and kisses.

Her greatest accomplishment, besides
making it thru her turbulent puppy
years, is becoming an official
"Worship Service Dog" at Beach
United Methodist Church in Ft Myers
Beach, Florida.
MEET THE CATS!
We have the BEST cats anywhere!  Our current
greenhouse residents include three 9-year-old cats (a
brother and sister pair, and their cousin) and two
year-and-a-half old cats (again, a brother and
sister).  They are all in charge of customer care,
purring, and rodent control.
MEET TULIP!
Tulip is most likely to be found in a basket in the
greenhouse, has the best purr of any of the cats, and
is the champion mouse-and-rabbit catcher.  He loves
people and will usually give "kitty kisses" on request.  
He is the favorite, but don't tell the others!
MEET THYME!
Thyme was the smallest of the group of kittens born
9 years ago...and now he's the biggest of the bunch!  
He's all tan, very huggable, and has an outie belly
button (!) which he is usually willing to show in
exchange for a tummy rub.  He has purr issues, and
it sounds more like a grunt, but is just as sincere!  He
is the favorite, but don't tell the others!
MEET VIOLET!
long-haired tiger girl.  Many have speculated Violet
has some Maine Coon in her background, she has
declined to comment (as usual).  Violet enjoys walking
the rafters of the greenhouse, ignoring Jane and
Rachel, and hissing at the other cats.  If she honors
you with her affection, consider yourself special.
MEET GRACIE!
Gracie (a thankfully shorter version of her official
name, Gracillimus) is one of the newest kitties, and is
still learning the ways of a customer-service
greenhouse cat.  She has a lovely purr, enjoys tummy
rubs, and is a junior mouser (we think Tulip is
teaching her!).  You'll see her darting past in the
greenhouse.
MEET COSMO!
Cosmo (again, a thankfully shorter name for
Cosmopolitan, an ornamental grass) is Gracie's
brother and is much friendlier than this picture looks!
 He's a big puff ball of fur, right down to his paws,
has a lovely purr, and enjoys being held for hours.
PAST PETS...Dearly Loved and Still Greatly Missed
CONCOLOR
Concolor was our
first Great Dane,
and just the best
dog you could ever
hope to have.  He
loved people,
protected the cats,
took great care of
Rachel, and his
favorite food was
raw potatos.  He
was only 7 when he
died, and we'll miss
him forever.
PHOENIX
Phoenix was the original nursery dog,
and was an 11th-hour rescue from the
humane society--and was fantastic!  
He was Shepherd, Great Dane and
part of the crazy, early days of Lodi
Farms, and was such a great dog.
He'll be Forever in our hearts.
