about your dog(s): Chloe is a 3 1/2 year old generic collie/Aussie mix. I love that dog to death, but she drives me up the wall at times. She's my "Issue". Literally. She has problems. lol
Rose is my 12 year old Lab mutt. She was "my" first dog in the sense that I picked her out from the litter and took care of her. She is the stubborn mule dog, but she is so sweet and soft and timid that you over look her stubbornness most of the time. Note I said most.

Favorite music: I like a variety. For example: Within Temptation, Linkin Park, Disturbed, Owl City, All American Rejects, Pink, Evanescence...I even have a JPop CD. Various country artists and orchestraical/symphony/piano music I love as well.

Favorite book: Gosh. I don't know. I have to say I love the Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher, and the Rachel Morgan series by Kim Harrison.

Favorite quote: I have a few (mainly from the Sword of Truth series), but I recentally have drawn a lot of strength and courage from Philippians 4:4-9

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

And a picture - not from 2011, but from late December on my brithday, so it counts! I hate getting my picture taken, so this is as good as it is going to get. LOL

Mira's my 18 month old FCR (Flat-Coated Retriever or Flippin' Cool Retriever, your choice). She's pretty much just amazing.

Nicknames: Steve

Occupation: Student....3.5 more years....

Age: 23

about your dog(s): Leo is a purebred labrador with ridiculous neurological problems. Nikki is a purebred GSD who's just cute as can be but didn't have an 'alpha' dog to put her in her place while 'growing up' (we didnt' have her for the first 7 months of her life and Leo didn't take that role when we did get her) so has some poor social skills at times with other dogs. But they were both free and both are awesome dogs, just special in their own ways.

Interests: motorcycles, critters, music, beer, ladies, guns, video games, food...I'm beginning to think I'm just a big stereotype...

Favorite music: Classic rock, but I like anything that's not country or rap.

Favorite book: Might as well ask what my favorite molecule of oxygen was. Been through way too many good ones to pick one that was better than the rest.

Favorite quote: In my sig.

Goofing around with my lab coat.
