Pets: I have two mixed breed dogs that I have adopted. Zeus is a black lab mix whom I adopted from the animal shelter when he was 7 months old. He is still very exuberant and loves to play, play, play, play, play! The most recent addition to our family is Freckles. She is a lab/boxer mix that Zeus and I met in the park with her daddy. Sadly he passed away, so we have adopted her too. Zeus is very happy to have his girlfriend with us full time now!
