Gertrude and Guster were the original herd. Guster arrived in 2011 and Gertrude showed up in 2015. Gus left for the big litter box in the sky in 2024. Christmas of that year Socks joined the family and was quickly coached up by Gertie. Gertie, our mutt, loves you more than you can possibly know even though chances are she has never met you. It is unfathomable to Gertie that your hand is empty and just hanging there when it could be scratching her ears. Guests, family members, axe murders, or anyone else that approaches her is the greatest person who has ever lived. Ever. Socks is either asleep on the couch or roaming the farm attempting to murder anything smaller than himself.
