As far as I know we and Zippy are the only New Mexicans on here and I don't ever remember seeing New Mexico Pet of the Day!

Sophie was POTD 1-25-02 (not that I'll go to my deathbed remembering that date or anything..LOL ;) ).

Lovington?! Hey that's only about 30min from my Parents' house--Hobbs!

Zippy, I can't believe that we missed Ms. Sophie's special day!!!!!:( Please forgive us and give Sophie some extra treats and loving from us! We will go back and look at her picture.

We were in Hobbs a few weeks ago for a friend's wedding and we also watched the Hobbs High basketball team play a few weeks ago here in Albuquerque. They are always fun to watch!!!

Greetings!
I am from America, Ohio to be exact!

Born and raised in the Washington DC area (suburbs) but have driven back and forth across country several times...enjoyed the SW the most. Lived in Marin County (North of San Fransico)on a horse ranch for awhile (almost heaven) and traveled overseas just last yr w/ my son to Amsteradam and took the train for a visit through France and Germany. Been to Mexico while visiting my brother in Mission Beach (San Diego... HI JACKIE:D and a short hop to Canada once. Have a buddy at the Columbia River Gorge area in Washington state where I've spent some time too. Heavenly area. Laurie

I live in the country; hard to imagine but New Jersey does have plenty of farmland and wilderness, despite its overpopulation in relation to its small size. No immediate neighbors in my neck of the woods and it sure is blissful! :)

I'm from New Mexico.:D

I was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. Sounds
real exciting doesnt' it ? LOL. My Maternal Grandparents
were from Galway, Ireland. My Mom was born in the US
on one of their trips over here, but spent her childhood
and early school years in Ireland. My Son & Daughter
and older brother have all been back to ole sod.I have'nt
made it yet.. I have traveled & vacationed all around
the US, mostly south & west.

I was born in Italy and consider the UK my second home since I lived there for a long time. As far as my origins go, to cut a very long short I'm a mixture since part of my father's family originates from Austria and his mother was half Italian and half Yugoslavian.

I'm Dutch (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) but live in Germany since 5 years with my German husband. I travel between the 2 countries frequently (and thus I've got 2 countries to go online from).
I've so far lived in the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden and Germany. The hubby has his parents in Vancouver and sisters in New York, I've got a sister in Texas. So, we travel around a lot :)

Our dog has a German mommy and a Dutch daddy.
The cats have no known parents although I'm sure that Rudie is a Celt as his name is Ritter Rudie Weissbrust (Knight Rudie Whitechest), known for his braveness on our lands (garden).

Nice to see you back CC's mum!

Hi Randi!
Yeah, I was back in the Netherlands again and didn't go online so much. Nice to see this thread...

Pam and Wolf Lady, it was great to travel and see all those countries, but if I had it to do over again, I would have loved to visit each of the fifty states. Get to know my own country a little better, so many things to see here.,and people to meet.

:D Ok, how wierd is this?? LOL LOL Hello neighbor!!! I actually miss Indiana believe it or not. Granted, I do love it out here in Cali, but I really was homesick for the 4 seasons of Indiana when I first moved here. I wasn't used to not having 'weather' like thunder storms and all.
Have you been to Columbus (or Bloomington or Nashville...they're close??)? My maternal great grandparents are from Galway, Ireland too! LOL I wasn't able to find out where my other Maternal Great grandparents were from, but their last name was Minnihan. We should plan a PT trip to Ireland to explore the family roots! LOL LOL;)

Jumping in a bit late, as usual, but I was born in New York State. Newburgh, to be exact. I grew up here in NYC, and lived in Brazil for almost seven years. That's where my family is from.
AmberLee, I didn't know you had Brazilian relatives! Neat!:D

Bump - for newcomers. :)
