Hi everyone, I don't have a lot of time to update any more I seem to be busier than I ever was before so heres an update for everyone


I recently moved from Chicago to Plano IL so Im still a long way from home about 16 hours now instead of 14 hours. So far I still absolutely love it here. The divorce is still not final he has decided to be a pain in the
hopefully soon it will be final though. At the moment he is mad because I have found someone else and am so incredibly happy! Kris and I have been together a little over a year now and just recently moved into our own place its incredible
He is transgendered Female to Male and just started T another big step for us as a couple. My mom has finally accepted the fact that I am gay and that I am much happier like this. She notices it all the time commenting that I'm happier and more in love than she has ever saw me
I recently found out that my mom is very sick. She has a brain tumor and has been given about 6 months to live. This is a big blow to me after I came out to her we went through a period where we barely spoke. Now that we are just starting to rebuild the relationship that we should of had we dont have long to do it.

Its been almost a year since I had to give away my cat Tigger due to everything going on with the Divorce and losing the house I had no choice and I miss him terribly its been almost a year since I have even wanted to look at kittens or get another one. I think I am finally ready to get another cat or kitten. I will be introducing one to 3 dogs 2 labs one is a puppy he's almost 3 months old one is almost 5 and my shih-tzu who is 5. We know they are all good with cats, but we need advice on how to introduce a kitten. Thanks everyone


I am currently attending Joliet Junior College for Pre Vet medicine then plan on continuing to get my DVM. I am also working at petsmart here as a Pet care lead I absolutely love it
I appreciate everything you all have done all the vibes and words of kindness and for your concern I am sorry its been so long since I've been able to update.

HI, I don't know you as I have not been a member for that long but I just wanted to say that it looks as though you are finally happy and your life is going well, you obviously have had a hard time and no matter who you want to be with,no matter what kind of person they are gay,straight,black,white, it shouldn't matter as long as you are happy and I am so glad that you are. I can't offer you advice on how to introduce cats to dogs as I only have cats but I just wanted to wish you good luck for the future and a happy life.xx

Welcome back! Nice to see you again.

You sound like you've been through a great deal, but have weathered it just fine and you sound happy.

I don't mean to be nosy, but can you tell me what "T" stands for? If you can't post it here, you can send me a PM.

Welcome back! I'm so pleased that your life is going so well now, although that's terribly sad about your mom.

Good for you though for getting yourself to this point, you've had a rough road here, and you deserve to be happy.

Thanks everyone
Natalie T stands for testosterone
You aren't being nosey I didnt know what it was either until I met Kris!!! He told me that his plans were to start taking T within the next year...I was like T, whats that?!
Yes I am incredibly happy!!! Everything is going so well for me at the moment. Our plans are to get a kitten sometime this spring. I do plan on getting a male and at the moment I'm stuck on the name Jack. I will see if it fits his personality though. So far we have Jake the lab puppy, Max my shih-tzu, Daisy the adult lab and Abbie my yellow naped amazon
There will be plenty of cat entertainment
