The Country Ranch Kiwifruit page tells you a little about our ranch and has a direct link to two other pages. One gives some helpful information on buying, storing, & ripening kiwifruit & the other includes several of my favorite kiwifruit recipes.
The Aussie Posse page features pictures & stories of our friends & companions. They are part of our family & life would not be complete without a beloved Aussie by my side.
Gripper's page will be updated with pictures and info as he grows & matures. I will try to keep the page current with a list of commands, tricks, & everyday house manners that he is learning - kind of a puppy(baby) book for pet lovers. Like all Moms, I may tend to brag a bit, but, I will promise to try not to bore you with lengthy descriptions of the frequency & consistency of Gripper's daily potty functions. *grin*
Herding 101 is just a fun page with pictures of Gripper meeting & learning about the other animals here at the ranch. It will be added to as Gripper's world expands.
Country Ranch Critters features pictures & information about some of our furry finned, & feathered friends. Curly geese, easter bonnet ducks, pet catfish that eat from your hand ... just a small sample of what you may run across on this page. The page is not complete & pictures continue to be added, so please keep checking back.
Whacky Country Critters features some of our mixed up or unusual residents. Hard to explain, so guess you have to go there to understand what I'm talking about.
Wild Country Critters features photos of some of the fascinating critters & creatures that we have come across over the years. Ranges from cute & fuzzy to creepy crawlies & things that go bump in the night.
The Story Page is set up so a no-talent wannabe writer (me) can tell you about the fun & frustration of loving & living with animals. It's something new (only 1 story so far) & I'm not even sure where it's going (maybe the delete bin!), but I hope you'll visit while it's here.
My Special Angels is a memorial page with pictures & tributes to some of our four-legged family members that are waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge.
My Favorite Links Page is under construction.
News Article - Go to this page to learn more about our Country Ranch & the people & animals that live here. This well written newspaper article by Molly Kinetz appeared 2 years ago in the Neighbor's Section of the Sacramento Bee. I have retyped it for easier reading & faster loading, but if you prefer to squint at the original scanned article, the page provides a link to it.

Photos marked with *** were taken by our friend & neighbor Larry Lauszus right after he took up photography as a hobby. Though my site doesn't really do his pictures justice, Larry does such beautiful work that his hobby soon turned into a full time profession. To learn more about Larry, visit his website at
