July 24, 2005:
My grandson Allen White is visiting us this summer. We’ve taken him to SeaWorld, the beach in St. Pete, the Ocala National Forest, Wild Waters (a local waterpark), shopping, etc., and have just about worn him out. This is his first trip to Florida.

Poppy AKA "The Poppinator"

I had wanted a Chihuahua for years and years.  Christmas 2000 my husband bought one for me and Jamie. He is very loveable, but with a “well-defined” personality. He's registered with the Continental Kennel Club (CKC) as "Jamie's Poppy von Rhoden." He is a frequent visitor to my facilities and is enjoyed by staff and residents alike.

Polly Purebread

We adopted Polly, a Miniature Dachshund, in Wichita, Kansas in April of 1996. She's AKC registered as "Libby's Polly von Rhoden." She gives "hugs" by trying to wrap her neck around our necks. Polly is very protective and does not tolerate strangers, but is very sweet to us.

Our Precious Girl

We adopted Precious in May 2002 as a girlfriend for Poppy.  Her CKC registered name is “Jamie’s Precious Cocoa.”  She and Poppy have given us four litters of gorgeous little Chihuahua pups, all of which found loving homes among friends and family.  A little skittish at first, she is now very sweet, affectionate, and mild-mannered (especially for a Chihuahua).
