[avenlee]

Hi everyone! I'm Debbie, soon to be 37 on July 23rd. I'm a mother of three girls (Melissa 16, Taylor, 12 (just this past May 29th), and Ashley, 8) I've been married to the sweetest guy named Tony for ummm coming up on 17 yrs this July 29th! We were together two years before and were married JUST after I turned 20. We have two dogs (Sadie (cocker) and Nora (westie)), a cat who is around 12 or 13 yrs old named Fagan, an Umbrella Cockatoo named Reagan who just turned a year old on Feb. 14th (He's such a joy!), a Russian turtle named Benjamin who we got last fall I believe and not sure of his age, they are known to live until 70 yrs old! (he's also a joy... has a very good personality for a turtle even!) Oh yeah, Taylor also has a betta fish named Diamond. We live in a 4 bedroom colonial style home in an what you'd call 'oval' neighborhood. Meaning only one way in and one way out. Makes it nice for the kids on their bikes. As most of you know, I'm pretty wrapped up on my two and four legged kids emmensely. Between sports, school, vets, dentists, orthordontists .. the list goes on and on. We also own a three family and a six family investment homes that keeps Tony pretty busy. I work for an attorney and about 90% of the time, I deal with real estate closings. Tony's a machine operator at a local mill but also a licensed contractor/carpenter during his afterhours. He NEVER EVER sits down! He's amazing. If he's sitting, he's sleeping lol. I'd be talking to him and I can vaguely hear him acknowledging what I'm saying, then I'd turn and he'd be gone.. but... I spot him out on the lawn watering or mowing. He never stops!

I'm glad that this thread was started. I enjoy hearing everyone's profile and such! (nooo I wasn't going to say everyone's business!) lol

[nedim]

My name is Nedim Alivodic. I'm 14 years old and I just completed my freshman year at Albany High School. My birthday is Nov. 26 1990. I was born in Bosnia and moved to the U.S. in 1994 after living in Denmark for a while. I live with my Mother, Father, Sister, and my Grandpa. We all share a 2 family, 6 bedroom home in Albany, New York that we moved into about 3 months ago after weeks of grueling renovations. I'm a proud father of the sweetest, yet most vertically challenged Corgi named Peanut. I also have a bullfrog(Beans), and about 15 or so fish which I will spare you the agony of naming. The last time I visited my family in Bosnia was about 4 years ago. I also have a GSD named Medo in Bosnia who is about 5 years old now. He lives with my grandparents on their farm. I enjoy listening to rap, hip-hop, and Rock n' Roll. I love cars and want to be an engineer, but I desire a career that pays a lot more. I guess thats me in a nutshell for ya.

 

[Invisible]

Hi I just joined here a few weeks ago.
I am 14 yrs old and am going to be a Junior in high school next year. I've been told I am very smart, but not genius level. I LOVE dogs and I absolutely adore my new doggy Chief (in my signature). I am an only child and live with my adopted mother and father, although as far as I'm concerned they are my real and only parents. They adopted me when I was just a baby and have been very great parents. I live in California and have my entire life. We have a very large yard and a 4 bedroom house that was my fathers fathers house. My father rebuilt/fixed it up a lot of it and it looks pretty good now. I like country music for the most part, but there are other genres that I enjoy depending on my mood. So far life has been very good to me and I hope to become a cardiac surgeon in the future.

I'm jocelyn. I'm 21.live in northern ohio right by the lake,between cleveland and sandusky(cedar point). I am in my third year of college and have my bachelors somehow before my associates. All I have to do is hurry and finish my RN clinicals. I have four dogs and there are generally a couple floating around i try to find homes for. I also have two stinky kitties http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=99085&j=t I've been with my bf for six years and he works at a stereo shop. So we are way into car stereos and cars. There is usually one in the process of getting turboed(usually a crx but i guess the altimas getting it now ) or lifted like the jeep now. I live with my mom but stay at chazs every other night. The house is basically mine since she is always out of town on vacation or staying at her bfs anyway!ANd i never get invited on the vacations i have a 15 yr old brother who is addicted to computer games and spends all his time in his hole of a room playing them. i love going to the flats to go to the improve which we actually went to last night. I love horses but haven't been able to be around them much since we got rid of mine,its just to depressing. I collect my little ponies and have a ton of them. I guess thats it!

 

[gapeach]

I'm Cindy. 26, live in South Ga, married to James for 8 years on the 21st. We have a daughter Maggie who will be 2 next month, it took us awhile to concieve her, we're currently trying to get pregnant again. I stay home with her and will until the hopefully 2nd (and last) child goes to school, maybe longer. We have a wonderful mixed breed named Carey. I spend most of my time with my mama. We are great friends. i spend too much money on pics and clothes for my lil girl but one day we will be glad I did, with the pics anyway I love spending time with my family, reading, scrapbooking, geneaology, movies, writing some, love horses but can't afford one right now , shopping for bargains, cake decorating, and am addicted to this site! I'm pretty shy in real life but once I get to know someone I'll talk your ear off.

This is a good thread... it deserves a BOIMP!

You didn't do one!

 

[kathisi]

My name is Natalie. I'm originally from Georgia and miss it. I have been living in San Antonio for about 9 years. I have a 10 year old son and 2 puppies, Drellie (5 months) and Venus (7 months). My son and I got the puppies about 4 months ago. He fell in love with Drellie and wanted her, but I could tell that Venus was going to be a great, intelligent dog and I couldn't say no to her. So, we ended up with two and I think it's been great for them to grow up together. They absolutely love each other! My son, Lane, is the primary caretaker of the pups and he is an excellent daddy for them. They adore him completely! I grew up outside city limits and we always had dogs and cats, though they were generally outside pets (unless we snuck them in when the adults weren't looking ). It's been a learning experience for me since I have owned my own pets. I tend to let them come in and out, though they are primarily in the house. I've learned a lot about feeding and am still learning. In the country, all our dogs lived off table scraps. We didn't buy dog food for them.

I am a systems analyst, but I am thinking of a career change. I would like to go into teaching. There are so many math/computer challenged people out there, and I want to share my love of those sciences with others. I think that if you can get comfortable with it, you can enjoy it more!

I am very focused and happy being a mother. It's been the most learning experience of my life. My son is intelligent, sweet, funny, and handsome. I am so happy to have added the puppies to our family. Now he has two sisters that love him, too!!

 

[gaddylovesdogs]

Forgot to add....

I am a vegetarian, and have been for about three years now. I was a vegeterian with my sister Lennea a few years ago, but after about two years, we went back to being omnivores .

I have really long (almost 3') naturally reddish dirty blonde hair with blonde streaks. Most times it is thrown back in a sloppy ponytail or bun, otherwise it gets in my face easily.

My favorite color is purple, before that is was green, before that it was blue . I love my large puffy purple slippers my Mom gave me a year or two ago for Christmas.

I'm around 5', not sure though.

In the future I would like to be a professional actress and open up my own animal sanctuary (preferably in the south, near my sister Abbie where the overpopulation problem is huge).

I love traveling, especially to go visit my family. I have family in Texas, Virginia, South Carolina, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Jackie is married, her husband is in the drum and bugel corp., they have a lop-eared rabbit named Tizzy. Abbie is also married, and has two kids, Gabriel Douglas (2-years-old) and Seneca Fawn (7-months-old), plus a bunch of animals, including nine dogs and twelve cats. Josie is very athletic, she loves playing ultimate (Frisbee) and has two kitty cats.

One of my favorite vacation spots is Washington D.C., though I'm not much of a city person, I love D.C.!

 

[Barb04]

I'm Barb, I'm 45 and enjoying life with my fiance, 3 dogs (CJ, Max & Kona) and 2 cats (Tiny & Bear). Life can be good the second time around (after a 20 year marriage ended). I spent most of my life growing up on Long Island, New York until my move to Connecticut which will only be for a few more years when we will hopefully move to Tennessee. I spend my time taking care of my family and home. I'm great at doing things around here which helps save money on hiring professionals most of the time. I also love to go to concerts and fairs. At the top of my list now is talking with everyone on Chazhound.
