{Geoff was the oldest of 7 children}

*We also have 2 cats (Sylvester & Tweety) and 2 dogs (Rudy, the Beagle and Bosco,the Mutt) and until the 1st of June, we also had a big, beautiful, Black Lab named "Trucker" who, I believe, is now with Geoff.*
~update~ Sept 5 th, 1999
we just bought a new Black Lab puppy (born Jul.17th)...His name
is "Ace" of our hearts!
***new update~Nov. 30, 2000~ Well, we had Ace for a short year and 2 months. He was a beautiful dog who was tragically taken from us by some unknown jerk who fatally shot him. WHY? I don't know. We live out in the country & this happpend during deer hunting season- after dark Nov. 26, 2000. Poor Ace made it to our front door where he stood bleeding from his leg. We rushed him to the vets, who performed surgery and we thought he would make it. Ace died the next day. It saddened our whole family.
**** new update~Dec 27, 2000~ We are now the new owners of two (yes 2!!) beautiful new Black Lab puppies. They were born Nov13 th 2000 and they look like little bear cubs.They are sooo cute and have helped ease the grief of losing Ace.
