Four wonderful grandchildren are the heart of the family.
Their farmette has been home to llamas, alpacas, miniature donkeys, emus, geese, ducks, swans, horses, goats, cats, dogs, and many other beloved animals.
The Negolas live on a small farmette in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Over the years, they have provided loving forever homes to a wonderful variety of animals.
Llamas, alpacas, miniature donkeys, emus, geese, ducks, swans, koi, frogs, turtles, goats, horses, Black Angus cattle, a turkey, a peacock, and a pony named Tony.
Many animals came through humane groups, friends, family, and neighbors.
Over the years, our family has included Collies, Dobermans, Dalmatians, a Poodle, indoor cats, and outdoor strays.
For a time we also shared our home with a green-wing Macaw and an African Gray.
