- Harry is a pound pup. He's a mix between a Springer Spaniel

best buddy!
- Toby 's full name is Tobias Jackson Holliday. He is a registered
Golden Retriever that came to live with them as a 10 week old puppy
in August 2002. Catherine calls Toby a love sponge.
- T.J. stands for Thomas Jefferson. This loving yellow tabby
got his name because he was born on July 4, 2002, the anniversary
of Jefferson's birth and death. Interestingly, T.J. and Toby
came home with Catherine and Lee the same weekend. As kitten
and puppy, they cuddled, played, and slept with each other. Now
as 12-pound cat and 60-pound dog, they still play together often and
sleep together occasionally!
- Lucy came to live with them in October 2006. Elizabeth found
her abandoned next to a convenience store dumpster and rescued her. She
is a long-hair white and yellow cat and is the most mischievous one
of the bunch!
Lee looks forward to the success of each of the "Mighty Seven" Districts as
they pursue their dreams, goals, and ambitions with passion!
