Hello - I'm new to the forum (but not to cats!)
I'm 43 years old, I have 2 kids, 5 grand kids and 8 fur kids (2 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 sugar gliders).
I am a former Sugar Glider, AKC Labrador and CKC Chihuahua breeder. I have had all of my fur babies since the age of 8 or 10 weeks (with the exception of one of my sugar gliders who was conceived and born here in my home).
Education wise, I have an AA, 6 computer related college certifications and an AS in Network Administration. I also trained to be a Medical Assistant before getting my dual degrees.
I'm originally from Michigan but kind of lived everywhere because I grew up an Air Force brat and developed a love of traveling so I have moved a LOT in my life. Originally came to Florida in 1982, and despite moving a plethora of times, I always seemed to end up back in Florida somewhere so eventually I settled down, got married to my current spouse of 10 years, and bought a house here.
I'd like to introduce you to my fur family:
This is Claude, our Labrador Retriever (he is a Dudley Lab, American Field Type) - he will be 10 this year and is the old man of the house (who still acts like a puppy half the time, lol)
This is Pixie, our long haired Chihuahua (despite being papered CKC, I swear she looks like she has some Papillon in the wood pile somewhere if you get my drift LOL) - she's going to be 6 this year and thinks she is a doberman despite only weighing 5 pounds lol
This is Scout and his daughter, Soluna, my black beauty sugar gliders. Scout is 7 this year and Soluna is 5.
This is Midnight and Nala. They are both 6 this year. They came to us about a month apart as strays when they were tiny kittens.
This is Nala again, this time with Severe - Severe came to us at 9 weeks old in 2012 from a friend - he is a manx mix :-)
This is Stache - our son dragged her home last October after finding her in the road. We think she is about 8 months old now.
Last but not least, this is Poppy. Poppy is not our dog, he is a Papillon/Maltese mix who belongs to my 84 year old mother. Poppy has been with us since December 19th, 2015 when my mother fell and broke her hip. We don't know how long he will be here - a lot depends on mom's progress. He is 13 years old, but still gets puppified from time to time and you'd never know he was that old lol.
