A bit late but...

Thanks for the warm welcome.. I do think I will stay around!  

Yes most people are a bit surprised when I tell them how I met my husband! and yes 9 yrs is a long time now a days. I must say, though not proudly, this is my second marriage. I learned quite a bit from my first and I NEVER EVER plan to get divorced again. So I am making sure this one was going to last forever!

BooBear actually looks like a black pom without the fuzzy hair. He and Piper, Faith, BJ and Sandler are siblings and they all look differnt. Their father was Buddy. Alfie is just "Uncle" to them. He is not blood related.  Boo used to be solid black, except for 6 little white hairs between his hind legs. Now he has the little white patches popping up that make him look roguish! One is right over his eye.. so cute!
