DYNASTY SALES IS OWNED AND OPERATED BY DOUG AND DEBBIE. WE HAVE BEEN IN THE IMPRINTING BUSINESS SELLING T-SHIRTS AND OTHER IMPRINTABLES FOR 18 YEARS. IT WAS OUR LOVE FOR ANIMALS THAT BROUGHT US INTO THE BUSINESS. WE HAVE A LOVE FOR ALL ANIMALS, BUT WE HAVE A SPECIAL FONDNESS OF CATS. CATS ARE EASIER TO CARE OF DURING A BUSY TIME SCHEDULE. WE WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME PICTURES OF OUR CATS. WE NOW HAVE 11 CATS. PETER, PAUL AND MARY ARE THE OLDEST - PROBABLY 11-12 YEARS OLD. THEY AND THEIR MOM - ONYX, WERE LEFT BEHIND WHEN A TENANT OF A HOME WE OWNED MOVED AND LEFT BEHIND ONYX AND KITTENS. ONYX PASSED AWAY 2 YEARS AGO.
I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT ONYX, PETER, PAUL AND MARY ARE ENTIRELY BLACK CATS. THIS PICTURE IS PROBABLY PETER, PAUL AND MARY
THIS PICTURE IS PROBABLY PETER ON THE ROOF OF OUR HOUSE
NEXT IS ZORRO. HE IS NOW APPROACHING 8 YEARS OLD
WE FOUND ZORRO WONDERING THE STREETS OF DOWNTOWN BRANTFORD. ZORRO IS A MALE AND ALTHOUGH HE CAN BE SUCH A MISERABLE CAT, HE IS MY FAVOURITE-PROBABLY BECAUSE HE CAN GET ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER CATS AND PHYSICALLY HE IS A BEAUTIFUL CAT WITH A BEAUTIFUL TEXTURE OF FUR AND HIS PHYSICAL APPEARANCE REMINDS US OF A CAT WE HAD YEARS AGO.
WE ALSO AQUIRED A MOTHER BROWN TABBY (FAITH) AND HER KITTEN (LUCKY), WHO APPEARED UNDER OUR DECK . THEY ARE NOW ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD. MOTHER (FAITH) IS NOT THAT MUCH OLDER THAN HER DAUGHTER - LUCKY.
ALSO 4 OR 5 YEARS AGO, ANOTHER CAT CAME TO US - A CAT THAT WE CAN ONLY HAVE LIVE OUTSIDE. HIS NAME WAS "HARDY". NAMED "HARDY" BECAUSE HE HAS LIVED THRU THE LAST 4 WINTERS IN UP TO-35 CELCIUS TEMPERATURES. "HARDY" HAD TO LIVE OUTSIDE (AND IT BROKE OUR HEARTS), BECAUSE HE HAD TRAUMA TO THE BASE OF HIS TAIL IN WHICH HE HAD NERVE DAMAGE-DUE TO SOMEONE (SOME ASS) SWINGING HIM BY THE TAIL. BECAUSE OF THE NERVE DAMAGE "HARDY" COULD NOT CONTROL HIS URINATION OR BOWEL MOVEMENTS-ESPECIALLY IN SLEEP.
ANYWAYS, THE WINTER CONDITIONS, MUST HAVE TAKEN HARDY, AS WE HAVE NOT SEEN HIM SINCE FEBRUARY 2007, BUT DURING HIS TIME WITH US HE BROUGHT TO US 2 MORE HOMELESS CATS.
ONE CAT IS CALLED "HOPE" AND THE OTHER "SHADOW". "HOPE" IS A LONG HAIRED FEMALE BLACK CAT AND ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, UPON RECOGNIZING SHE WAS "IN HEAT", WE GOT "HOPE" HER SHOTS AND WE HAD HER SPAYED. SHE HAS LIVED IN OUR HOME SINCE - SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL CAT - SOMEWHAT PRISSY.

ANYWAYS, "SHADOW" IS THE ONLY CAT THAT GETS TO GO OUTSIDE
OUR HOUSE CATS? - WELL DOUG BUILT THEM A CAT HOUSE 2 YEARS AGO.
IT IS JUST BEYOND OUR DECK AND THEIR IS A PASSAGE RUNNING FROM OUR BACK ROOM TO THE CAT HOUSE - THERE IS A -PASSAGE DOOR THE CAN BE CLOSED AT ANY TIME.
AS OF MAY OF THIS YEAR, WE HAVE 3 MORE CATS. THESE CATS ALSO CAME FROM THE SAME RENTAL PROPERTY THAT "PETER, PAUL AND MARY" CAME FROM. NOT THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES - THE MOTHER GAVE BIRTH TO THEM - MAY LAST YEAR - UNDERNEATH A PORCH THERE AND DOUG KEPT FEEDING THEM. THE RENTAL PROPERTY WAS EMPTY - THEREFORE THEY HAD A HOME FOR THE WINTER.
DOUG BROUGHT THEM HOME IN MAY. HE BUILT ANOTHER CAT HOUSE FROM THE GARAGE , WHERE THEY RESIDE.
LAST MONTH, DOUG BUILT A RUN FROM ONE CAT HOUSE TO THE OTHER, WITH ONLY ONE CLOSE OFF AT THE CAT HOUSE FROM THE GARAGE, TO TRY TO MIX THE CATS TOGETHER.
THE GARAGE CATS NAMES ARE "BIG BOY", "PRINCESS" AND "SPOOKY"
ANYWAYS, FOLLOWING ARE PICTURE OF THE CAT HOUSES AND THE RUN.
