The long awaited Doggiemom story.....
Sorry to keep you all in suspense but I wasn't on over the weekend... I just read all of your posts today.
Okay here goes.... you all remember a certain charming cowboy named AugieH right??? Well, way back when, during his first post about trying to locate a pomeranian throw blanket, I looked up his AIM name... you all know how pettalkers chat on AIM all the time so I thought he would be fun to chat with too. So, I was AIM'ing Tonya one night and saw Augie come online so I IM'd him..... I annoyed him at first he said but then we really had fun chatting. Then the phone calls began and then next thing I know I am spending Christmas with him and his family and the NEXT thing I know I am moving in with him!
Okay, YES, I'm crazy. YES things happened fast and YES the timing stinks but like I told my family and everyone else, I fell in love the first time I heard his voice on the phone... In fact, I fell in love before that. I met him for the first time at Christmas....at Midway airport. We had a wonderful 9 days together and I almost didn't get back on the plane to come home. Now a month and half later, I am his new roommate.
Oh and for the toughest question of all that you ladies might be thinking.... NO this is NOT why I got divorced. That was coming for a long long time. My marriage was never going to work.
Augie is absolutely, hands down the love of my life. He is every bit as amazing as he may have seemed to all of you. Now, how I mananged to nab him from 1800 miles away I will never know - but I did it and I am happier than I have ever been in my entire life. He and his family are absolutely wonderful. I even met the famous pomeranians that were the subject of his first post..... cute cute little dogs.
Oh, and his dog Hooch is the BEST!!! He is a great great dog! And as Augie calls him, STUDLY! He gives Augie hugs every day when he gets home from work. It's the cutest thing!
Rachel, I'm in the southern burbs.... I will have to look up Geneva.... I think a meeting at Navy Pier on Lake Michigan would ROCK!!! I was at the aquarium over Christmas and could see Navy Pier. I want to go out there when it warms up:)
Okay, that's the story - sorry for the length of it. Guess i can change my signature now ;)
I kind of read between lines and had a feeling this was going on!
Your posts immediately after AugieH came on showed a difference in your tone. I had a feeling you had feelings for him. Then when you disappeared from Pet Talk and he disappeared from Pet Talk, I was really suspicious. Now you have confirmed my suspicions. LOL I was even more suspicious when you said you were moving from Arizona.
I hope you all have a great life together and tell Augie that you want to keep both Lexi and Maddie! And I have no doubt about how great Hoocher is. After all he is a GOLDEN!!!!
I'm also interested in hearing Augies side of this whirl wind romance. Boy you guys really did go BEYOND PET TALK!!!! :D
