" The Hound House "
Owned and Operated by Jason & Marianne,
and on occasion the crew listed below.
Our family consist of: Jason & Marianne,
Natall Marquise (Afghan), Sadie Mae Brown (Basset), Baby Cat (Siamese),
Alberto Menesini (Yellow Headed Amazon Parrot, & always in our hearts,
"Strider" (Afghan).
"In Honor of Strider"
Marianne and Strider were best friends for
14 years. He remains in our hearts, and our memories. He was a very gentle,
loving Afghan, raised by Marianne, and these two were inseparable. Strider
lived a long happy life and made an extreme amount of people happy. We
was a very calm hound with a wonderful demeanor. Strider loved to strut
his stuff and show off after being groomed, and he is missed very much
so in our household. We love you Strider..

Sadie
was a rescue that we got for our grandfather, when Marianne first
saw her, she thought, a basset, she'll sleep all day, and be a relaxed
little lap dog for grandpa, Yeah right.. turns out she has more energy
than anyone else. She turned 1 on the 21st of April, and if she wasn't
so spunky you couldn't tell if she were happy nor sad with those droopy
little red eyes that she has.
Marquise
at 11 mo.'s is the newest member to our family, bringing us warm hearts
and many laughs. We shall be showing him soon, Yet we never forget that
our animals, are also our pets, family and very spoiled children. We often
wonder who runs this house as it is..
Baby Cat
is our comfort zone, the relaxed one. She has her moments when
you cross her territory, which is any part of the house she chooses at
any given time, but has been there through thick and thin, and when we
had to let go of "Strider" she most definitely made it allot easier.
Albert
has is the oldest of the bunch, at 26 years old he has seen it all,
from one generation to the next. If only this birds could talk, hmmm? this
bird does talk... well he hasn't ratted us out yet. We feed him well though,
and with a mouth full of some tasty human food he'll be anyone's friend.
Well almost anyone.
Marquise came from Texas. Where he was breed by Natall Kennels, and
we are grateful to Nat Jackson for this. An extraordinary breeder and friend
who has taught us so much and helped us deal with quite a bit of hassle.
Thank You Nat...

Updated 4-28-99: Marquise is doing well,
and has definitely marked his territory, one most memorable spot was right
on Marianne's blouse after she just pressed it, unfortunately she had not
realized this until she put it on. Don't get us wrong, Marquise is not
always the bad guy here, he has a little stubbley legged Basset as his
accomplice. Marquise is not much for long drives, he tends to loose lunch,
but when it comes to play time he is a riot, and then when the sun goes
down he is our big cuddle bear. Yesterday was Marquise's first day of class,
and he will be in the show arena soon. We are very proud of him.
