I know this is a *PET* Talk board but I am currently without any furry friends of my own. I used to have a dog but we had to put her to sleep almost a year ago and I still haven't managed to work my parents into getting another one. I've gotten close but I'm a sophomore in high school and so I'll be leaving for college in a couple years. My dad travels a lot for his work and my mom plans to go on lots of his trips with him so having a dog wouldn't be "conducive" that that kind of thing (it wouldn't be fair [or cheap] to take it to the kennel every time she decides to go with him).

I am pretty into horses and have been riding since about 5th grade. I normally ride every week but with volleyball going on and some serious back problems (possible herniated disk) I haven't been able to do as much riding as I would like to. Either way, I'll try to get some pictures up of the horses at my barn soon.

I hope I am still welcome here and really look forward to hearing more from you guys. I've been looking through some of the posts already and ALL of your pets are GREAT!!

BTW.......it just figures that I have a digital camera and have no pets to use it with, but expect lots of pics anyway!! (I have no idea of what, lmao).
