My Dear Pets

 By Nate Feldman Three months after Jenna passed away, I adopted Brownie in April 2023 from the West Chester SPCA, a local animal shelter.   Like other cars I have had, Brownie is very people friendly.  He enjoys coming up to me and lying under my chin.  Although I wouldn't say he and Kipper are best friends, they have definitely learned to tolerate one another.

 By Nate Feldman   This is my Golden Retriever, Kipper.   I adopted Kipper when he was a little over 3 months old from a breeder, Reuben Beiler.   My daughters had a previous dog named Pharaoh with their mother and their step-dad, but they gave him away after owning him for only 7 months.   I promised to get my girls a dog, and they, specifically my older daughter Sara, wanted a male, Golden Retriever puppy.   As you can see from this picture, Kipper is a bundle of joy who loves being around people and loves walks.   He is my constant companion, and since my girls are less interested in him, he has really become my dog.   I have never actually owned a dog despite being an animal enthusiast and despite having worked at two Veterinary hospitals as a kennel assistant and volunteering at the local SPCA, a well-known animal shelter.   So, it was planned that way, Kipper has become the dog I never had growing up, and he is a great friend.

  This is my late cat Jenna.  I knew her since September 2015 when my ex-wife, Iman, adopted her from a pet store.  It was believed that she had been previously owned by an older woman, but her owner passed away and thus she needed a new home.  At first, she lived with my ex-wife and my two children at their apartment in Bryn Mawr, PA.  In September 2016, Iman said she was giving her away, so I decided to step in and take her to my home in Berwyn, PA.  There, Jenna was the family cat until she passed away in January 2023.   Jenna was a very loving cat in many ways.  She loved to be pet, and if you stopped petting her, she would meow for more.  She liked to follow me places and spend time with her.  In many ways, I wish I had been more appreciative of her while she was around, but she was a great cat, and I am happy to make this page and many like this in her memory.
