This is my beloved Mr Clarence "Garfield". He crossed my path, for 13 1/2 years. He graduated to just this side of the "Rainbow Bridge" to his reward March 25, 2000.



Mr. Bear left 'our world' to be just this side of the bridge that connects Heaven and Earth, May 5, 2004. I had him for 11 years (he was 2 when I got him). He's was german sheperd/chow mix. He's now rompin' and playin' all day with his long-time kitty pal, Clarence Garfield.


This was our "Annie Oakley". We believe she must be in kitty heaven! We've not seen here this spring at all and it's not like her to not be 'round. She was such a kind lovin', and the sweetest desposition cat! She had a few kittens through the years! She would have been 6 years old last April. Annie had been dumped on us as a kitten of 3-4 weeks old. I had named her after one of my cowgirl favorites, Annie Oakley!!

We love you Annie!! May God watch over ya 'til Buffalo Jim and I see ya again!



Miss Sassy passed away November 10, 2006. She graduated to kitty heaven and was greeted by many other kitties. We think she must have been older than we thought, for we really didn't know how old she was! She had a healthy and lovin' life with us. Bless her sweet heart! It looked like she passed in her sleep with no pain. We thought she was just sleepin', and for a little while, we didn't realize she was gone.

She was a beautiful Himalayan (brown seal-point) who was left on the streets of Springfield, MO, by former owners. After 3 months, Buffalo Jim & Buffalo Gal rescued her in the early spring of 2000. She leaves behind many friends and family that loved her so, as she was 'laid back' and so cool. Nothin' seemed to ever bother her. She was a prissy cat and was always groomin' herself to make sure she didn't have a dirty or messy coat. She liked to look her best and she knew she was the feline "Queen of the House". She had a quiet "Meow" and was SO LOVIN'!! She will be terribly missed!! Everyone who met her thought she was so gorgeous and had a special and unique way 'bout her. We love ya much princess!! Dear Lord, please watch out for her and keep her safe 'til Buffalo Jim and I get there! We'll never forget ya "Sweet Sassy"!!



This was our Mr. No-Toes. Bless his big heart, as he had a hard life from the beginnin'. He was born the spring of 2005, right on our front porch deck, in one of our cushioned chairs. We knew his mama was deliverin' her litter, so we didn't bother her. After she was finished, we noticed that his back paws were tangled up in all the umbilical cords and it was too late to free them. The pad part of his back paws had lost circulation and they had fallen off, away from his paws. Bless his sweet heart. Buffalo Jim and I should have been out there makin' sure everything was goin' alright with the delivery. We never dreamed this little ball of fur would make it, but No-Toes lived for 2 1/2 years. You should have seen him move. He had his own unique way of gettin' around.

We thought two of our neighbor's dogs had gotten ahold of him. Buffalo Jim eased him very carefully into the carrier and got him to our vet. After examinin' him, Bruce told Buffalo Jim he had a rare disease and Mr. No-Toes was dying and in pain. His heartbeat was very weak. Well, Buffalo Jim didn't want Mr. No-Toes to suffer any longer, so he made the decision to put him to sleep. That was September 17, 2007.

We buried him out in our pet cemetary located in our "Happy Trails Garden". We sure will miss him very much!! He was the last of his sibling-litter to still be alive. The others had gotten killed by the neighbor's dogs.

Dear Lord, please keep an eye out for Mr. No-Toes til Buffalo Jim and I are reunited with him again; with all paws anew.



Here's one of Felina's pals whose gone on to 'Doggie Heaven'. She met Sher on her first trip to Painted Pony and Music Man's; along with her Mommy and Daddy (Buffalo Gal and Buffalo Jim). That was January 2002. Sher was one of Painty Pony and Music Man's delight. She was one of that 'dynamic duo', sharpei puppies that Music Man and Painted Pony got, back in 1988. Sher was 15 1/2 years when she went to that 'Rainbow Bridge'. She left this earth in January 2003.



Felina also met Shea on that first trip to Painted Pony and Music Man's. Bein' a 'wee' bit smaller than Shea and Sher , Felina got along with them both, just fine! Shea was the other half of Painty Pony and Music Man's delight. He was the remain' one of that 'dynamic duo' that Music Man and Painted Pony loved so much! Shea left this earth in March 2003. He was 15, and he missed his soulmate and pal Sher, so much!! They had grown up side by side together, all those years!

These two 'special babies' are still missed terribly! I know losin' both of them so close together, was heartbreakin' for Painted Pony and Music Man. Sher and Shea were 'their children' for alot of years!!

May Sher and Shea 'romp n stomp' together, forever more!! Bless them!



Our buddy Sheila Reiboldt lost her last aussie. Sheila had two adorable "babies" that were litter mates (sisters), born 1-29-91. Sage (the black tri-color on the right) has been waitin' for her sister to join her, since August 18, 2003. Our Blessed Savior sent Glory (on the left) on her last journey to join Sage Sunday evein', August 29, 2004 at 10:00PM. Ah, the joy that shown on their sweet faces as they spied each other! Now they are rompin' and playin' in that lush grassy meadow that lies just this side of the "Rainbow Bridge".

Sage and Glory brought many years of love, companionship and joy to 'their mom', Sheila! Now they are without pain and sickness.

They're awaitin', along with Garfield and Mr. Bear, for Sheila, Jim, and me to join them there, and walk the *Rainbow Bridge* into heaven, together.



Sweet Lady, she belonged to our friends, Shirley & Mike. They all moved back to TEXAS this last spring. Lady, along with her mom & dad had been livin' in Connecticut ever since they got Lady.

Lady have had some health problems for quite some time now and the Lord said it was now time for her to come home. Lady left this earth on October 3, 2005. May she run those great fields of green forever!

Shirley and I (Buffalo Gal) have known each other since 1959. I lived in El Paso, TX durin' 1959 & 1960.


*Mister Casey*

Mister Casey was a 7 year old white Miniature Poodle. Mister Casey hailed from down Texas way; Sherman was the town. He lived there with his adopted sis, "Miss Girty" and his Mama Shirley.

September 2006, Mr. Casey got out of the garage and got lost. Some believe an older man picked him up from the road, but no one ever called Shirley to let her know anything! We really don't know what happened to him, accept he got out of the garage the day his mama was returnin' from a trip. Somehow, We pray the Lord took Mr. Casey under his wing and looks after him and somewhere, he is still here on this earth. Lord Jesus, please, if Casey is still alive, please watch over him 'til his time left on Earth is done.



2001 - 2007
Gabby The Gabster was world famous over at the Official Roy Rogers & Dale Evans Fans Message Board. He belonged to Brenda & Tom C.; Brenda, is also known as (Lucy) as some call her over there.

He was the cat, the *RR/DE Message Board Family*, helped name six years ago. Yesiree, he had that personality, just like 'his namesake', George "Gabby" Hayes; one of Roy's sidekicks! Ya dawg tootin' he did!

Gabby sadly passed away on 9-29-07 after a tumor near or in his brain was found and lost all sense of knowledge. He only knew his mama and papa. He will be sadly missed by his mama and papa and by many who knew and loved him dearly.
May he rest forever in peace in the arms of our Dear Saviour!! Please watchout for the 'The Gabster' 'til his mama and papa are reunited with him near the "Rainbow Bridge".

"Rainbow Bridge"

"There's a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of it's many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge is a land of meadows, hills, and valleys with lush green grass.

When a beloved pet passes, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. Old and frail animals are made whole. They play all day with each other.

There is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on Earth. So, each day, they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches! The eyes are staring! And this one suddenly runs from the group!

You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her into your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated ....."

We are owned by many cats & 1 Dog. Our indoor cats; Misty Blue, a chocolate point siamieze (Buffalo Jim received her as a gift in 1993); Silver Belle, a silver colored long hair tabby (she is a kitten that showed up at the ranch. We believe her mama musta been a feline mixture). There are a few outside kitties, but they don't have any specific name except for one, Mr. No-Toes (he was born without toes on his back paws).

Our doggy; Miss Felina Marie turned 12 years old October 3, 2007. She looks like the 'Taco Bell' dog, they use to use, with their ads.


Below, y'all find photos of 'our critters and their critter friends'.





"Meet Miss Misty Blue"

Meow!! Hi, I'm Miss Misty Blue! I am almost 13 years old. I was an inside cat for many years. I decided that it would be fun to join the other 'kitties' outside a couple of years ago. Fall of 2006, I decided to rejoin my Mama & Papa and the other family members inside. They all welcomed me back to our warm and cosey home with open arms.

I'm a chocolate brown seal-point Siamese cat. I was the owner of Buffalo Jim alone; til Buffalo Gal came along. Now, I own Buffalo Gal, too. They're 'perdy good folks'!! They take good care of me. I never thirst for water, nor I never go hungry. There is 'mucho love' at the ranch!!



Photos of our beautiful ~Silver Belle~ are comin' soon!!


"Meet Miss Felina Marie"

"Mucho Gracious!" My name is Miss Felina Marie. My mommy Buffalo Gal received me as a birthday present to herself, 12 years ago. I was born, Oct 3, 1995.
