About Us

Just some fun shots from our personal photo album

THIS IS JUST A FUN PAGE I HAVE BEEN PLANNING FOR A LONG TIME. MY TIME TO WORK ON THIS ALBUM IS LIMITED BUT I WANTED TO GET IT STARTED SO I COULD ADD TO IT FROM TIME TO TIME. WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF PICTURES TO FIND, LOOK THROUGH AND EDIT SO THEY CAN BE USED HERE. NOT A SIMPLE TASK BUT A FUN PROJECT.

Our cat house. Our spoiled house cats have an outdoor potty house accessible via a magnetic pet door from the utility room. From there they can cross the enclosed bridge to a totally enclosed escape proof outside play pen full of all kinds of fun things. This enables them to enjoy fresh air and sunshine and be able to watch us and the dogs and share our day because we are outside most of the time. All our cats are rescued. At one time we had 14 from abused and/or abandoned situations, but now we only have two. Melvin is our oldest. He's 15 and we've had him since he was five weeks old. He is our only cat that is an inside/outside cat and not limited to the enclosed area.

"KEEP IN MIND THAT JUST BECAUSE A PERSON IS POOR OR EVEN HOMELESS DOESN'T MEAN THEY CAN'T BE A LOVING AND DEVOTED PET OWNER. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CORRELATION BETWEEN MONEY AND A GOOD HEART."

Just waiting for someone to open the door - Flynn the puppy and Melvin the cat

I never get tired of taking pictures of Melvin and his puppy friends.

Originally the Irish Terrier came in many different colors. This gorgeous blue is a throw back from our Irish Terriers imported from Ireland several years ago. Over the years we have had three blue puppies and a few black and tans and yes, they are pure-bred Irish Terriers. Other breeders have also got these throw-back puppies - one even pure white - but they quietly disposed of them. I guess they feared the hate trolls on the internet (AKA people that don't know what they are talking about but seek their little bit of fame.)

Mom, this doesn't smell so good.

Our back yard showing our dog kennels and pens. Most of our pens are horse pens and they are about an acre each. The more enclosed pens for the mama's all have electricity in the houses for temperature control. The houses are carpeted and the carpets are changed, washed and sterilized as often as needed, sometimes daily.

Our whelping house with five climate-controlled cubicles with dog doors opening to roomy outside runs for the mama's. Everything in here is concrete and porcelain tile for safe and easy clean up. The pups are kept in here until they are two weeks old and then they are moved outside to larger pens which also have climate-controlled houses. This gives the pups room to play and to learn to go outside to potty.

On the left is our "Barn" which is the washing, grooming and vet care facility plus a picture taking studio and the employees kitchen and break room, bath room, etc. The building on the right is our office. The life size leopard stallion on the porch roof is a replicate of Money Creek's Rocklege. This is the grand old boy that has paid for everything over the years and is why we named our kennel Rockledge Kennels. Rockledge has also been our trade mark for four generations. And one can never talk about Rockledge, the horse, without showing off the real McCoy so here are a couple pictures of him and the trademark.
