Hi! I'm Tracie.
Thanks for stopping by! We're the Stanley's. There are nine of us all together! My husband is Craig and we have an eighteen year old son named Benji, who has just recently graduated from high school. Congratulations Benji! Craig & I have been married for twenty-three years. Craig bought a Mr. Handyman franchise at the end of last year & opened for business early this year. Benji & I help Craig out in the office. I just became a Tupperware consultant again after a decade or more. You can place online orders nowadays, so if you need anything, I'd love to be your Tupperware lady!

Now, onto the rest of the family!

Baby is our fifteen year old black cat. One of her favorite things to do is to get under the covers when I try to make the beds.

Next in line is our nine year old chocolate colored Pomeranian named Teddy. He's SO cute, he really does look like a teddy bear! Then we have Britney, my baby girl & the apple of my eye! She is an eight year old Pomeranian. She is so sweet & such a stinker at the same time! I throughly enjoy spoiling my Pommies ROTTEN! Britney is so smart. She likes to play frisbee. She catches it & brings it back, it is so adorable. She can do the same with small doggie sized tennis balls. She has lots of squeaky toys that she knows how to squeak. She has her own little language that she has trained us to understand, & she knows a lot of what we are saying when we speak.

We also have two Red-Eared Slider Turtles -- King Turt & Queen La Turtle! (King Tut & Queen Latifah, get it? lol!) Craig found King Turt in our pool skimmer. Two weeks later a neighbor found Queen La Turtle in their pool skimmer & brought her to us since we already had a turtle set up. These are semi-aquatic turtles. We live in a fairly new housing development where homes are still being built & we weren't sure they'd survive around here. I have gotten quite a turtle education since we first found King Turt in February 2004. They were tiny little hatchlings when we first found them & they have really grown. They require a lot of special care & can live as long as people.
Around the end of the summer of 2005, Craig built a 200 gallon pond in the back yard for the turtles. They are much easier to care for in their natural habitat, than in an indoor aquarium. We bought a couple dozen feeder fish for them, thinking they would eat them. Well, they didn't. Now, we have lots & lots of little fishies! I'm kinda glad they didn't eat them, because I love going out to the pond to watch the turtles & the fish.

Now to our newest addition -- a bunny! He or she is also a wild catch, thanks to our dog Britney. It's a little cottontail. On February 17 of 2007, Craig & Benji were doing yard work, cleaning out the winter dead stuff in our backyard flower beds. Well, they uncovered a bunny nest. Unfortunately, Britney got the first one & killed it, before they knew what she was doing. After Craig took that one away from her, he followed her & she went right back to the nest. He made her get away & he found one more baby. We felt like the best thing to do was to try to take this one in, since the nest & surroundings had been uncovered. We weren't sure if the mother would come back, & had been told by a couple of people that she probably would not come back. Now that I have read further online, indications are the she probably would have come back, but it is too late now. We have been taking care of the bunny & it is thriving! We got Bunny a nice big cage & are keeping it in the house. He or she has grown a ton & eats lots & lots! Sooo cute!!!!

We have several pets that are also waiting for us at Rainbow Bridge. They sure are missed!
