Neil & Joanie McKaig and their two cats, Thomas & Dundee reside in

  Naples, Florida

...known to  locals as PARADISE

They live in a happy yellow cottage with green shutters and green window boxes  filled with yellow flowers, near the sea.  

Joanie is a fourth grade teacher at Avalon Elementary School & Neil (as you have probably guessed) is a Medical Speech Pathologist with interests in dysphagia and research.  Neil is currently completing his Doctorate at the University of Stuttgart and anticipated conformation of Dr.Phil. in June 2002

Thomas is a great orange cat who could care less about green shutters and green window boxes so long as meals are regular and frequent.  Dundee on the other hand, a marmalade point Himalayan, thinks that providing an additional habitat for lizards is an excellent idea.  He likes to think of it as his "protected wild life preserve".

The Boy's Tom & Dundee  

Dundee is the white ball of fluff  Tom is the big orange tiger

The bear is called Farfie (short for Farfenugen).

Outside of  the "monkey room"  it is Spring so the annual planting of the herb and tomato garden has taken place.  There is also yellow peppers for me and catnip for the boys.

At the the suggestion of sister Ann, and with great deal of difficulty I installed some paving stones and moved the antique iron table...but now it has to be painted.  Even in Paradise the work never ends.
