Hi Stephanie:

My name is Donna and I'll be 56 in July - No real hobbies (unless you consider shopping for doggie clothes and accessories a hobby) - I spend most of my time catering to the girls....they have me very well trained! I work 40 hours a week doing clerical work at a trucking company - so any home time is divoted to Bridget and Greta.

I live in Erie, PA

I have 2 children Jennifer 28 and Adam 26. My son (and his girlfriend) blessed me with a grandson, Bradley in July of 2009. Just recently Bradley was diagnosed with Autism - it had taken some getting used to - but as a family we'll be there to help him. Luckily he was diagnosed at an early age and is on the lower end of the spectrum - his speach seems to be what is affected the most. So I have been busy reading and learning all I can about this thing that has it's hooks into Bradley and how to help him. My sons girlfriend has a little boy Devon who is 6 years old and I consider him my grandson as well. My son and his family just moved back home from Fayetteville NC and I'm thrilled to death. My daughter is still single but dating a very nice guy (who was just in the movie Love and Other Drugs with Anne Hathaway). My daughter returned to college after a few years and now is graduating Suma cum Laude. She's an amazing person - very giving and caring. She lives in Pittsburgh, PA and volunteers at a shelter that mostly rescues Pit Bulls.

I am divorced and have been for 14 years now. I am engaged now to a man who at times I'd like to re-home, but haven't had any takers - j/k. We've been together about about 12 years now.

My girls are Bridget and Greta. After years of Tony telling me NO DOGS, we adopted 3 cats, and I just HAD to have a dog - so after publically shaming him into letting me get one, we adopted Bridget, our yorkie who was an Amish puppymill resuce. We got her as a puppy (about 16 weeks old) and Tony just fell in love with her. Nine months later we adopted Greta, our Biewer. Greta came from Dee (here on YT), and she is just amazing..(as is Dee - I could sing her praises all day to anyone who wants to listen). The man who at one time said NO DOGS comes home every day saying "How are Daddy's Diva's"! Both the girls share October as their birth-month one on the 11th and the other on the 13th.....almost exactly the same age (turned 1 this past October). They have filled the empty nest syndrome I was going through - and don't have a clue what I'd do without them!

Thanks for sharing - it's very nice to meet you!
