Tell us about YOU

[RubyMutt]

My name is Lindsey. I'm 19 years old and have lived in western Washington state all my life. I love it here. I'm currently on a break from college. It was supposed to be only one semester, but has turned into *coughcough* three. HOWEVER, in January I'm going to start attending DeVry University and get my bachelors degree in Business Information Systems. For the time being I'm working full time for a company called Sun Precautions, I've worked there for 4 years. I have no idea what kind of career I want when I'm older. My pets are my life and my biggest and most important interest. I currently still live at home with my parents and great-aunt, Avie, but I'm planning on moving out before the end of the year. Everything is still in the works, but my boyfriend, John, (we've been together for nearly 3 years) and a good friend of mine, Margaret (veegan on PT), are thinking about moving to Seattle together (of course with our furkids as well ) So, send good vibes our way so that hopefully all works out! I love music... basically anything (although I'm not a huge fan of pop or country). My favorite band is without a doubt Everclear. I also LOVE Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals. I think that's enough about me

My name is Tiff. I'm 23, born and raised in New Orleans and don't plan on moving anytime soon. I just graduated with a BA Communications this past May. I currently work for an insurance agency. Not a job even remotely related to my degree, but I like it, my co-workers and boss are wonderful, it's very flexible and I have excellent benefits.

I'm engaged to a wonderful man. Joey's a Marine and a Cop. I don't know which worries me more. He just got back from overseas and just officially proposed so I'm living on cloud 9 right now.

Other tidbits:
I'm a romantic. I'm a true girly-girl..I love make-up, dresses/skirts, heels, and shopping. I love to dance. Spent 16 years taking formal lesons, and a few years teaching tap and ballet to a group of precious 2 to 5 year olds. As much as I miss performing, I miss teaching more.

I love to read. I have close to 1000 novels in my collection and could happily spend the day wandering through a bookstore. I probably should have been a librarian. I would have loved it. ..reading and research, what more could you ask for?!

Last but certainly not least, I love my critters. Responsible pet ownership is a big deal to me. More often than not, I'll do impromtu pet education lectures at petstores.

That's all I can think of for now.

My mom's ALWAYS cross stitching! Whenever she's home, I can be sure to find her cross stitching. She's just finishing up a sheltie one right now...when she's done, I'll be sure to post a pic of it.

Genral has been busy today

[tomkatzid]

heres the old site, if anyone new wants to check it out:
http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...threadid=31054
and here is our post from there:

Hi, we are Tom (48) and Katz (51). Tom has a younger sister and I am an only child. We live in Auburn Washington, about 30 minutes south of Seattle. I work part time for a major hotel chain and have for the past 23 years. (I’d like to run a Doggie Day Care.) Tom works for a school district (He would love to be an Animal Cop for the ASPCA, they don’t have them in Washington state), We have our 3 kids you see in our signature, Ashlee, Nina and Kelcee. We will be celebrating our 7 year wedding anniversary this next Friday, August 1st. In our wedding were his dog Shep-ee (RB) Shepherd mix, my dog Tonee (RB) Cocker and a friends dog Sheeba (RB) Terrier mix. The newspaper article about our wedding said something like, ‘nice outdoor wedding in a park, but the bridesmaids were dogs. !!!’

Tom is an avid Mountain Biker, and I am not! I tend to the flowerbeds, vegetable garden and yard. We are devoted to our dogs. Tom takes the girls to the park EVERY day. No matter what. I don’t think he has ever been too sick to walk them. They are our children.

In the spring my Mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer and I went to spend 3 months with her and my Dad in Bend Oregon. It was hard being away from my family for so long, but they gave me a big welcome when I returned. My Mom is still battling with her cancer. My father has been living with prostrate cancer for the past 10 years. We just take it day by day.

If we were to win the lotto we would start an animal rescue organization.
My favorite color is yellow, although I look really bad in yellow.
I am allergic to all fish.
Tom hates milk, so eats cereal dry.
Tom is the speller of the family.

We love 2nd hand stores, antiques, and anything to do with dogs and cats!

And now I have to add, that we have a foster LUCEE !!!!!

Well, i'm 15 years old. I will be 16 this November 24th. My name is Kay, middle name Ann so many call me KayAnn. I could careless what you call me.

I live in "sunny" Florida, and I have my whole life, unfortunatly.

I'm deeply in love, honestly, with my dogs. I don't think there's a person on this planet that could fill my heart like they do. Simba is my neverending box of tissues, while Nala is my neverending box of laughs.

I hope to be an animal photographer when I 'grow up', or maybe just a photographer period. I really have no experience with regular cameras, I prefer my digital.

My bestfriends would be my dogs, but if I had to chose my *best* human friend, it would be Nicole. I've only known her since last year, but she's honestly the best person in the world. Her and I have so many things in common. She's animal obsessed like I am

My music is also a big part in my life. I used to be a big time rap fan, but it seems as if only the older stuff is good nowadays. I can't stand rappers like Chingy, 50 Cent, & P.Diddy.
Rappers I *LOVE* would be Nelly and Tupac. I listen to basically everything. It really doesn't matter to me, it just depends on the song.

I have one brother and one sister. Both are older than me, they're only 1 year apart. They live together in a home my brother purchased.
My brother's girlfriend (BluStang24) also lives with them. They have three animals that live in their home -- Honey, Orion, and Caeleigh. I love all three as if they were mine.

I'm in tenth grade, and I HATE it. My school is full of druggies, alcoholics and sex addicts. There has even been people having sex in the bathrooms.

I hate most kids my age. There's only a few of my "friends" that i could never see myself getting mad at. That would be Nicole, Sharell, Preston & James. I'm willing to post photos of them, if anyone would like.

My day normally consists of getting up, going to school, coming home, playing with the dogs, going on pet talk, playing with the dogs, taking pictures, sleeping. Then doing it all over again.

I take pictures EVERYDAY. I don't think there's one day I haven't taken atleast one picture. Pet Talk only sees a fourth of them, since imagestation probably would go down if I loaded them all.

I really like to write poetry and short stories.

Anyways, enough for now.

[primabella]

Okay my name is Liana and I'm 16 years old. I am currently in the 11th garde and will be graduating next year. I am not sure what I want to do as a career but something along the lines of advertising or graphic design. I live in Canada with my family of 6 and my pets. Mickey is everything I ever wanted in a dog, he is funny, smart and a great shouder to cry on. My birds are huge sqwackers but I love them anyhow. Rocket is my little playful birdie and Sky is good to just pet and talk with.

I like drawing, singing in the shower (lol), photography and animals. My favorite animal would have to be the puma, then the wolf. I also love hanging around with my friends and making them laugh. I have known my best friend since grade 1 and we have been through a lot together. We are just these two laughing idiots. We don't have everything in common and we don't always agree but we are always there for eachother and nothing will break us up. (hopefully) We plan on taking a trip to Australia together. lol

I really am not a fan of my high school but I try to block out all the ignorant, rude, racist and conceited people. I guess I am in the "loser" crowd at school but I couldn't be happier. There are some of those popular people who have 20 friends but nobody they can trust in. I would rather be a loser and know that I will always have my friends there to back me up.

Ahh yes and my favorite food (besides chocolate) has to be my grandmothers canelloni!

Okay enough about me.

[Cataholic]

My name is Johanna, and I turn 38 this December. I come from a family of 8 kids..kinda in the middle. I am a lawyer, and have been for 5 years. I went back to school late, at 29. Before that, I was a claims adjuster for about 6 years. I have only played one sport in my life, soccer, but, don't do it anymore. I love to work out, run, read, read, read, mess around the house, and cook. If I had my perfect world.....everyone would go to sleep at 9 pm, and wake at 5 am...and be very, very quiet. I like my job, though, it can be stressful at times.

I have six cats, and am a feline fanatic through and through. I brought Binx into my home in April, and he fits in just fine. I live in a small house, two bedrooms, one bath, and a small yard. I would love to move into a really old big house...all hardwood floors, airy, high ceiling'd rooms. I hate new home construction.

I spend most of my time either at work, with my family, or by myself. While I have friends, I always feel too busy to connect with them. I am single, never having married, and am ambivilant about kids.

[neko1]

My name is Michelle and I am 26 years old. I live in Northern New Jersey, but am orginally from Nazareth, PA. I've been married for 3 months now to Brian. We've been together for 7 years. We've had our house now for 4 years and spend most of our free time trying to make the place look nice. (We couldn't the first few years cause we didn't have any extra money).
I am a chiropractic assistant. I love my job and my boss is awesome. I used to be a vet tech but had to quit for reasons I won't go into here.
I am crazy for cats!!! My favorite breed is the Abyssinian of course!! My Aby Tama is my shadow. In fact he's sitting with me right now.
I love photography and my digi-cam. I also love decorating my house country/rustic style.
I also love my Jeep. It's the first thing I've ever spent so much money on.
Well I guess that's about it for now.

I'm a waitress at Red Lobster, I've been there almost 8 years. I guess this is what I'm meant to do since I've been waitressing almost all my life. I love to meet different people, & in this kind of job, believe me you meet all kinds I actually really love my job since it gives me the freedom to work short hours, this way I can spend my time with Mark & my furkids!
