A going-on-six-year old pale-colored Cairn Terrier who started life as a Meghan but when her first person died and I got her (long story) I decided that a dog so eager to please and so convinced that everyone on foot is panting to make her acquaintance was way too cute for a formal Meghan; she is now Meggie.

A coal black handsome dude of a cat named 'archy' as in the Mehitabel saga is a narrow, tall, graceful, dignified 12 year old. Once in awhile he forgets himself and gambols and cavorts like a kittn. If it weren't for an occasional blink passersby might take him for a shiny ceramic figurine at the window.
