UPDATE FEBRUARY 2008 - Don't get excited, we have not added to our Crested family, however, you may have noticed pictures of a little fuzzy dog. That is Valentino and he's been staying with us for a couple months until his mommy and daddy get settled in a house. He's a Terrier/Maltese mix, 2 years old and I'm so in love with him, it will be hard to let him go. But he loves mom and dad and that's all that matters. ALSO, we've moved my mom in with us and it's fantastic having her in our home. My kitchen is clean and I think the dirty pile of clothes will soon be gone. Ha! She's a dream and I love having her with us as I worried about her every day living alone. It was pretty stressful for a couple months - on her because she was leaving her home after living in it for 50 years, stressful on us trying to get things ready for her and just me being obsessive and worried about everything. So when you see the pics of an older version of me with a bunch of dogs on her, that's mom.

Hi, my name is Cathy and I am owned by a German Shepherd, 6 Chinese Cresteds, 2 cats, some fish, and we share our home with my husband, Phil [he hates that I always list him last]. I treat my animals as if they were children, they treat me as if I were a God.

At one time, I attempted to volunteer with a rescue group by the name of Doodle Dawgs. Please visit their site at www.doodledawgs.petfinder.com. But my family has grown and I now use all my spare time to spoil them. Also, should you be interested in adopting a Chinese Crested, please visit www.crest-care.net, a non-profit rescue organization which is who we adopted Sampson and Tiki from.

When I was a child, I begged my dad for a dog, but he always said "no." So, I ended up growing up with cats, which I adored. One of my "when I'm an adult" dreams was to have a house full of dogs and cats. And here I am today to share with you a little bit of my life with my DGZnCTZ web site. I hope you enjoy my site and if you have any questions or advice, please drop me an email at cathy@dgznctz.com

I just realized this site is now 2 years old so it’s time for some updating. Please continue to check back in as I will be adding pictures and, you never know, possibly another Chinese Crested to our family. ~ Cathy
