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

WOW, what a story! I don't know you, but feel so happy for you, finding the love of your life feels so nice huh
These things happen, I ended up marrying my penpal who lived about 3000 km's (sorry, dunno what it is in miles ) from me!

Congrats! Nice to have happy stories!

Congrats Angel! I am very happy for you. Love is exciting and even more exciting if we find it in unusual places! Good Luck with everything!

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!!!!

Dixie your post cracked me up... we DID take pettalk to a new level huh?

As for keeping maddie... well, i will start a new topic because i need advice REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD!!

What a great cyber-romance

Have a Golden happy life together, with the Hooch and all the other furry companions of course.
Best wishes from Carina (who sends her greetings to the Hoochy) and Alicia

I am so glad she finally spilled the beans! woohoo!
And I am sooooooooooooooooo excited that she is only about 6 hours from me! That is the best part, well and of course that she is so happy!

I have been on beyondpettalk for a little while, and in the beginning, I had no idea that Angel and Augie were together. After a few days, I realized, wait a minute! These two are together! I sent a message asking, Is this a Pet Talk romance?? Angel promptly sent another message confirming my suspicions.
Congratulations to two very cool people! Glad you guys found each other!

Angel, I just had to make an additional comment

I admire you for being so brave! I came to America when I was only 18 without my family and started college. I am sad that I am not brave enough to leave GA and move to Alabama to be with Andrew. Being apart is very tough. I am not brave enought to go there and not have a job. It terrifies me. You are alot stronger than I am. How do you do it?

Souraya, a lot of people had said the same thing to me... "you're so brave to move that far and leave your family especially for someone you just met....."

You know, I didn't even think of it that way. It wasn't even a hard decision. It was something I wanted to do since the day I met him. I love my family dearly but people move away all the time. I just followed my heart.... he has it and that's that. I realized later that it did take a lot of guts to do it.... I left a fantastic job that I loved so much and came here to be with Augie. I will find something up here soon... I'm not worried. I just wanted to be with him. Besides, now I am only six hours from my other sister in MN and my niece and nephew That will be great to be close to them at this point in my life. This is all just an exciting, new and wonderful adventure that I am enjoying with a great man by my side...

I know, I'm being mushy and sappy and all that... but can't you tell I'm in love!!! ha ha ha ha ha!

Angel,

I do not have to worry about my family. They already an ocean away from me. 300 more miles won't make a difference. I can tell you are in love. I am too and it breaks my heart that I can not just leave and go there. Andrew will have to move again in a year and a half and that is when I plan on moving with him.

I have a great job here and worry about not being able to find something as good. Drake and I would both be happier and alot less lonely. I think it is my pride. I like to provide for myself and pay for my own things. Even now that I am married. I do not know if I am making much sense.
