Little Shelter Hotties
Here are a few hotties from Little Shelter all dressed up at the Ritz. Linda is the shelter's Kennel Manager, Kathleen takes care of the dogs and puppies and Brooke is an Adoption Counselor

The Williams Tribe
Meet Gary and Lorelie and their two daughters Misty-Lee and Brooke.
Gary runs his own business in good old Adelaide. He also loves his big boy toys. Lorelie is talented in home decorating and she's not too bad on the sewing machine either.
Despite their meek appearances, these two have led me astray a few times!

Deirdre the Internet Queen
Deirdre is the internet queen. Deids and I met on the internet about 4 years ago. We finally met in person in January when she came to New York for a holiday.
Deids is a cookery teacher in NSW so if anyone wants some good tucker knock on her door. She's also a bit of a party animal - just ask the 2 people she christened in the bushes one New Years Eve!
Here she is pictured with 2 Yankee girls Bri and Diane in our local bar (Deids is the one in red). |
Mishy Moo
Michelle is one of the sweetest girls you will ever meet.
Mish and I became friends when we both worked at South Australian Cold Stores and she was a bridesmaid in my first marriage.
This picture is taken way before I knew her. In fact I think its one of her school photos!!!!

Cathy & Phil
Cathy and Phil are loyal Little Shelter volunteers. They are always ready to lend a helping hand whether it be at one of our many events or walking dogs.
Cathy hails from Massachussetts and Phil is a born and bred New Yorker.
Phil and Cathy share something in common with Mark and I - they met on the Internet too.

Paula, Kerry & Me
This photo is taken at one of the many Little Shelter Benefits. Paula and I are quite drunk in this photo.
Paula is the one on the left. She is a NASCAR fanatic and would give most men a run for their money when it comes to talking about cars. She could probably drink them under the table too. On the other hand she is also a shop-a-holic. When it comes to shopping I've never met anyone like Paula.
I've already told you about good old Kerry above. I hope all you Aussies notice my downunder tshirt...LOL

Pat
Pat is a lovely lady. She has a very big heart and really cares for the animals. She works as a Dog Socializer at Little Shelter.
Pat was the first people to really talk to me when I got involved with Little Shelter and therefore one of the first people to befriend me in the USA...THANKS PAT!!!
You can all also blame Pat for turning me into the Ebay addict that I have become.

Rosanne & Mario
I'm sure they're not going to like this photo but unfortunately this is the only one I have!!! Sorry guys!!!
Rosanne and Mario are a cool couple who volunteer at Little Shelter. Mario is our resident computer expert and can be found several times a week with computer bits sprawled everywhere.
This photo was taken at my birthday dinner in February, 2003
