I to found this forum just last night and stayed up late and read the whole think..great way to get to know everyone.
My name is Ann I am 47 years old married my high school sweetheart been married for 28 years. Have two wonderful daughters who are 25 and 27. Both married to great guys. Oldest has given me two grand children. Lived in the town I was born in my whole life.
Always had big dogs. My youngest was severly attacked when she was four by my brothers dog. To this day we do not know why. The dog just attacked. Mind you this was a dog that had been around her lots and other children. She had no food no toys nothing. It was a black lab mix. We at the time had a stray lab that someone had dumped off after having pups and a smaller little black dog. We had to rehome them as she was terrified to go outside. Made us very sad on both accounts. Dh said no more dogs ever. We where at a friends house one day and they had just gotten a yorkie( this was like





three years since her last surgery). Dh said that's a cool little dog. I had my


friend call they had one left. Her and I ran to the store picked up all the stuff I would need and the puppy from a home. Did this all without telling dh. He thought it was there dog till he saw two.. Never said a word and that is how I found the love of a yorkie is like nothing else. We said it was her dog she was now 7. But he was our dog we named him Andrea's Okoboji's Buddy. A lake in our area is okoboji. We called him Boji. He was with us almost 13 years. I was so sad when we lost him. In the meantime we had started trucking cross country. Dh said no dogs. I was so lost I went one month.without never again . Thought I would try a different breed so went with the cairn. She is no yorkie but a great dog. Did the pet store purchase with her. Got lucky as she is very healthy and no problems. Talked hubby into a yorkie picked Lexi up in the truck in Texas found her on puppyfind. And Riley also picked up in the truck in Iowa another puppyfind purchase. They have had three litters have found amazing homes for all. Kept one Lily. Spayed and neutered Riley and Lexi. Lily gets spayed soon. Lost Lexi this summer. Hardest thing every I miss her each and everyday. So glad I have Lily.

Okay that's my dog history. I have worked in a fishing factory did many thing there. A four wheeler factory. Ordered parts. Owned and ran a bar restrauant. Have my cdl drove truck with dh. Now my youngest is managing a bar restraunt so I stay home and help her out as good employees are hard to find. This is the daughter who had gotten bite. She worked as a vet tech for three years and loves all animals. My dh dad was a vet we lost him many years ago. My parents are both alive and live close and in good health.

I have a very big love for horses and have had one since I was seven. We have seven between my daughter and me. They are like big dogs. Use to show but know just love to trail ride. Can not imagine never having one.
